Nakedbike - Race Three

Unedited transcript from our live notes page that was run during the event

• 1500 - Race was declared at five of seven laps down so the race has been declared and half points awarded. That will be a relief to Cartwright as it means his failure to score points will not hurt as much as it would have if the podium finishers had scored full points in that race
• 1458 - McMartin sneaking away now and looks certain for the win, second place still to be sorted out though between Kruck and Charlton. Red flag is out so it will go back to the last lap and the race declared so I think McMartin will be declared the winner but not sure who will get the nod for second place
• 1457 - McMartin to the lead at turn nine and yellow flags around turn 11 and 12 so the big bikes will have to bide their time before they can blast past again, and that is a telling fact as this time McMartin maintains the lead down the main straight. Kruck goes through on Charlton down the main straight
• 1456 - McMartin briefly sneaked ahead but the big bike just blew past him down the main straight and the order again goes back to Charlton, Kruck, McMartin.  But again McMartin up to second up the inside at turn four
• 1455 - McMartin through on Kruck up the inside at turn four and immediately stalking Charlton
• 1453 - McMartin up to third around the outside of the Benelli at turn eight on his 'little' 749 Ducati.  The Benelli goes down, Cartwright down at turn 12 so the battle for the lead down to three men left standing now.  Charlton, Kruck and McMartin the protagonists
• 1451 - Charlton away well in the final Nakedbike / Pro Twin encounter but no luck for Roe on lap two as the Aprilia man went down. Up front the battle quickly established itself as four way affair between Charlton, Kruck, McMartin and Cartwright
