- 1236 - Suspect that very
broken bike might belong to Brent Odgers but not 100% on
that
- 1233 - That Superbike that
went down the road early in the race, still not sure who it
was, they walked away, but the machine is absolutely
destroyed and broken in half. The thing just flew into
pieces as it tumbled over and over. The footage is
absolutely sensational while at the same time being
downright scary, that was one of the most spectacular bike
destructions I have ever seen and definitely a very
expensive one, I can't see anything being salvaged from that
machine whatsoever
- 1231 - We know how
brutally powerful is that GSX-R and it will be a drag to the
line.... But Jamie gets a break around the back of the
circuit and the Hayshed... Three bike lengths between them
at MG.... But no Jamie gets good drive through 11 and 12 and
Gilesy has no answer for him so yet again the win goes to
Jamie. Giles second, Charlton third then it was Fergusson,
Allerton, Staring, Coxhell, Dan Stauffer, Johnson, Gobert,
Maxwell, Tozer, Whiteley
- 1230 - Last lap and Gilesy
is now all over Jamie!!! The Suzuki man saving his run to
the end...
- 1229 - Jamie leads by a
second over Giles with two laps to run... Charlton, Staring
and Fergusson covered by only a couple of tenths as they
tussle for the final step on the podium. Staring out
brakes himself at four! That's his game up and out of
the fight for that podium, just way too sideways and untidy
on entry and had to stand it up and take the escape route
right between Charlton and Fergusson! Could have been
messy...
- 1228 - Lapped traffic
starting to come into play... Charlton back up to third...
This trio fighting very hard but Krusty looks to be playing
perhaps a bit of a waiting game while letting the other two
tear up their tyres...
- 1227 - Charlton back up to
third at turn four, but Staring around the outside at turn
seven! Brave move indeed! Krusty right there and
in the hunt...
- 1226 - Staring gets a
better run on to the straight as Charlton searched for grip
out of turn 12 and goes back to third place into turn one.
Again Bryan really screwing that Pirelli into mush out of
turn two
- 1225 - Charlton takes
third back at turn four, Krusty right in this mix now also.
Jamie the clear leader, Shawn a clear second
- 1224 - Staring under
Charlton at MG Hairpin, third place is his... He was to try
and put some space between him and the gaggle behind him now
as Fergusson is also queuing up for a crack at Charlton
- 1223 - Big slide for Bryan
out of turn two but stays on the gas and keeps position
- 1222 - Staring the only
rider anywhere near the front that is not on Dunlops, his
Honda shod with Pirellis this year.... Under Allerton at MG
Hairpin goes Staring! Forceful but fair move and now
he has his sights set on Charlton... With Allerton dispensed
with Staring has his chance at the podium if he can crack
Charlton
- 1221 - Dan Stauffer and
Adam Fergusson running only a couple of bike lengths behind
that tussle over fourth spot between Allerton and Staring
- 1220 - Perhaps not half a
second the gap but a few bike lengths at least. Staring
having lots of trouble getting past Allerton and their
tussle has given Charlton some breathing space
- 1219 - Staring picking up
his pace, challenging Allerton and Charlton now in a tussle
for third place. Jamie has around half a second on Shawn...
- 1218 - One of the riders
just had a big off but walked away fine, his bike though in
pieces! Not sure who it is but not one of the usual
front runners... Jamie to the lead now and he pulls some
ground on Gilesy around turns 11 and 12...
- 1217 - Jamie into the lead
at turn one but Gilesy gets him back with a better run and
line to turn two, this pair already breaking away
- 1216 - Aussie Superbikes
are away and the master of slightly dodgy conditions is
leading the way and that is of course none other than Shawn
Giles! Jamie on his tail and Scott Charlton an
impressive third as they go around the back of the circuit
for the first time...
- 1213 - Race control are
now in the process of signing off on the Superpole list and
with Kagayama not taking any more part in the round it means
that Brookesy will be promoted to 16th and thus will make
Superpole!
- 1208 - I can't see the top
Aussie boys fighting too hard in these conditions as it is a
non championship event for them. Last thing they will want
to do is get injured before round two at Winton which is
only a couple of weeks away... The drizzle has stopped and
the track is fairly dry but still things a little tricky
- 1203 - Difficult half damp
conditions for the Aussie Superbikes that are scheduled to
start their first race of the weekend in 15 minutes
