Superstock - Race Three

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

  • 1439 - The positions remain the same around the back of the circuit... Cowie trying hard but almost highsided out of nine which has given Henry a sniff for second place.... Around turn 11 and 12 they come.... Carr is going to do it.....  Carr gets it, Cowie second, Henry third
  • 1438 - Last lap board comes out this time around and the top three positions still up for grabs, Carr, Cowie and Henry will battle for the win all the way to the line
  • 1437 - Cowie all over Carr now and challenging at every turn
  • 1436 - Cowie moves past Henry for second place, the top three breaking away a little from Reid now with Carr still leading the way
  • 1435 - Sciberras got in too deep while trying to chase down the leading quartet and ran off into the dirt and goes to the back of the field
  • 1434 - Henry right on Cowie and looking for a way through on the race leader to make it 3 from 3 this weekend. This year Henry proving he can do it on a four cylinder in the same fashion he did it on the 749R Ducati last year
  • 1432 - The top four running tight now, nothing between them now with Carr leading the way from Henry, Cowie and Reid.  Sciberras trying to chase them down but has around two seconds to make up if he is going to challenge
  • 1431 - Henry up to second place, Cowie then also through on Reid to take third place. Carr has a handy buffer and it will be interesting to see if Henry can chase him down.
  • 1429 - Sciberras got an average start but is working his way forward, up to around seventh by the closing stages of the opening lap.  Reid touches the dirt on the run onto the main straight which cost him a few tenths which allows Cowie and Henry to challenged. Carr leading by a full second by the end of the first lap, Reid and Henry tussling over second place with Cowie also in that hunt
  • 1428 - Brayden Carr gets away well in the last Superstock bout from Reid and Henry as the whole field safely negotiate the first turns in the opening lap
