• 1641 - Jamie starts with a complete clean sweep of both Superbike and Supersport. The others are going to have find something between here and Winton if they are going to make a game of it this year... Dan second in a fantastic return to form. Krusty third with the DVS Honda squad which no doubt has some doubters eating their words...
• 1640 - Last lap now and Jamie leads by 2.2 seconds, Krusty still third but not completely safe from Allerton as the Allect Racing Honda has closed up considerably on him over this last couple of laps...
• 1638 - Two laps to run now, Jamie leads by 1.4 seconds but Dan doesn't look to have given up the chase. I believe that currently the race order in the tyre battle sees Dunlop filling the top six positions...
• 1636 - Jamie leads Dan by 1.24 seconds with three laps to run, Krusty a further 6.2 seconds adrift but with a 3.4 second buffer over the gaggle battling over fifth position headed by Allerton
• 1634 - Gilesy's demise hands Krusty third position and he has a clear buffer over fourth placed Allerton.  It looks as though Yamaha will leave this round with positions 1 and 2 in the series with Honda satellite riders Allerton and Fergusson in third and fourth... But four laps still to run and anything could happen yet!
• 1633 - Gilesy down!  No points from race two for Shawn! A nightmare start to the season. He is up and obviously fine but what a disastrous start to the season for Shawn. And then a lap later Bugden rolls to a stop to add insult to injury for Suzuki supporters
• 1632 - Dan Stauffer has got through on Giles now and immediately pulled away, suspect Giles may have some problems
• 1631 - Jamie the only man in the 32s on that last lap and leads now by 1.3 seconds over Giles who in turn has a couple of tenths on Dan Stauffer. Fergusson still 1.6 seconds further back in fourth place but with a clear buffer over that hectic battle for fifth which is currently being fronted by Allerton with Charlton nipping at his heels. James Spence down
• 1630 - A big pack battling over fifth spot with Allerton, Coxhell, Charlton, Moriwaki and Bugden all in the mix.  Holland seems to be losing a little pace, that injured shoulder may be causing him some problems at the end of this long day
• 1629 - Jamie responds to the challenge... The gap back out to 9-tenths of a second now, Dan still with Gilesy also.
• 1628 - Gilesy creeping a little closer to Jamie now and has gained a bike length or two on Dan... Krusty a further second behind then it is a further three seconds back to Coxhell and Allerton
• 1627 - I must have put a curse on Jamie.. That last lap he must have lost some time somewhere as Gilesy pulls some time back on him, the gap only 8-tenths, and Giles is not coming on his own... Dan Stauffer is banging fairings with the Suzuki man as they try to close the gap to Jamie. Krusty into the 32s now also
• 1626 - Krusty has been a quiet achiever.... Dan is right on Gilesy now but Krusty is up to fourth now.  On current form though nobody is going to touch Jamie, he put in a 32.2 on lap two.
• 1625 - Bryan Staring down on the exit of turn one and goes all the way to the tyre barrier but he is up and okay
• 1624 - Gilesy through on Bryan on the run to turn nine, immediately starts to pull away, the three-time champ wanting to prevent Jamie becoming a two-time champ!
• 1623 - Jamie has the hammer down to try and pull away, Giles looking for a way past Staring. Dan Stauffer attacking Russell Holland, these tussles really giving Jamie the chance to get away...
• 1622 - Jamie into the lead now between turns 9 and 10, Staring second and holds Gilesy off down the main straight to maintain second place early on lap two
• 1621 - Staring again gets a ripper start to lead the field early on, Jamie second, Shawn third, Holland fourth...
• 1620 - We are getting ready for a race start in this final Superbike encounter...
