- 1359 - Dan gets baulked by
a backmarker, that will decide it, think it might have been
Jamie's anyway but Dan was robbed of his chance of taking it
to him all the way to the flag, it will be another
Yamaha 1-2 though and Coxhell will get third unless Giles or
Allerton can spring a last turn surprise on him....
- 1358 - Jamie and Dan
negotiating backmarkers now but without incident thus far..
Coxhell in third place nearly seven seconds down with a
small buffer over Giles and Allerton.... Last lap now...
- 1357 - Jamie has managed
to pull a couple of bike lengths on Dan now.. Can Dan come
back at him...Two laps to run...
- 1356 - Fergusson ahead of
Bugden for ninth place, Gobert then gets Bugden to
move up to tenth...
- 1355 - Dan made a small
error under brakes on the penultimate corner with three laps
to run and it allowed Jamie to get the run on him, the two
swap positions, and then again, and then again, Jamie in
front now, Dan not giving up... Anybody would think this is
last lap desperation but there are three to run!!!
- 1353 - Maxwell through on
Staring to take seventh place, Bugden has lost touch with
that pair but still has a useful buffer over Fergusson who
in turn is in danger of being closed down by Anthony Gobert
- 1352 - Coxhell running
third, Giles right behind him as is Allerton, Johnson
closing in on that trio also to turn it into a quartet...
- 1350 - Staring has got
Bugden, Maxwell through also.. So Staring up seventh... Dan
had gone back to the lead and managed to stay there for
nearly a complete lap in a major tussle, the Yamaha camp
will be biting their nails in fear that the brothers end up
taking each other out....
- 1349 - Eight laps to run
Jamie right on Dan's tail.. They have slackened their pace a
little to high 22s but they are the only men running that
pace. Jamie in front now, Jamie to the lead. Staring
rubbing fairings with Bugden over sixth...
- 1348 - Some good tussles
unfolding all the way down the field, Jamie versus
Dan, Giles v Coxhell v Allerton, Johnson on his own
but then another tussle with Bugden v Staring v Maxwell
- 1347 - The Yamaha men are
in their own race out in front and will not be challenged...
The final podium spot is shaping up as a battle of titanic
proportions with Giles, Coxhell and Allerton running nose to
tail.
- 1346 - Krusty just ran on
but will regain the track without losing too much position
- 1345 - Reckon yesterdays
lap record might be about to be toppled....
- 1344 - Dan has managed to
break the two of Jamie now.... But Jamie responds on the
next lap with a 22.300 to prevent his brother escaping,
2-tenths the difference... Coxhell and Allerton right on
Giles now and battle about to commence
- 1343 - Stauffer and
Stauffer continuing to pull away, Coxhell and Allerton
closing on third placed Giles.
- 1342 - Johnson gets
Holland, the Kawasaki man into sixth place now. Bugden in
eighth, Staring ninth, Fergusson 10th and having a huge
tussle with Wayne Maxwell
- 1341 - Shannon Johnson
looking for a way past Russell Holland who is running sixth.
Jamie right on Dan's tail as the two men crack out high 22s.
Giles now 1.1 seconds behind the Yamaha duo and Coxhell half
a second further behind, Allerton fifth
- 1340 - Dan and Jamie nose
to tail, rider into the airfence...Not sure who... Gurowski
I think, hopefully that can be cleared and we don't have to
have another red flag
- 1339 - Jamie up to
third... Dan pushes his way past Gilesy in an aggressive but
fair move, he pushed Gilesy wide which allowed Jamie to go
through also as Shawn was forced to pick his Suzuki up off
the race line... Coxhell takes fourth place off Holland,
Allerton in that mix also..
- 1338 - Ready for a restart
now...Away they go!! Gilesy shoots off the line well once
again and leads the field through turn one with Holland
followed by the Stauffer brothers then it's Coxhell, Staring
and the two Kawasaki men followed by Adam Fergusson. Dan
through on Jamie in the tight back section and immediately
closes on the back of Holland and Giles. They cross the
stripe and Giles leads from Hollad, Dan Stauffer, Jamie
Stauffer, Coxhell, Allerton, Staring, Johnson, Maxwell and
Fergusson rounds out the top ten. Dan takes second place on
Holland in the same place as he took Jamie on the opening
lap.
- 1324 - Giles, Holland, Dan
Stauffer third, Scott Charlton down at turn one, red flag.
Looks as though Charlton might be stuck under the bike...
Red Flag is out. Racesafe is there, Charlton crawling
out from under the bike now...
- 1323 - Dan Stauffer nearly
t-boned Holland while trying to make a move but pulled out
at the last second saving disaster, Jamie through on
Coxhell. Maximum aggression already... Staring ran off the
circuit and is rejoining at the back of the field....
- 1322 - Superbikes are
away! Shawn Giles leads Russell Holland through turn
one, Dan Stauffer third then it is Coxhell, Jamie Stauffer
and a Kawasaki
