- 1642 - It's Jamie's....
Allerton pushes underneath Staring... Whoah that was
fierce.... Jamie gets the win... Coxhell a great return to
form for second place, Giles third to put two Suzukis on the
podium. Dan Stauffer holds onto fourth and Allerton
steals fifth from Staring, Johnson seventh, Maxwell eighth,
Charlton ninth, Bugden tenth, Holland 11th, Gobert 12th,
Fergusson 13th but will be pushed back further due to a jump
start penalty... Jamie wins the meeting and I believe
Coxhell will take second place overall for the Sunday round
- 1641 - The gap now 1.48
seconds... Last lap though, it will be too much unless Jamie
gets held up by a lapped rider... A huge battle over
fourth unfolding on this last lap with Dan Staffer, Bryan
Staring, Glenn Allerton and Shannon Johnson nose to tail for
this last three kilometres...
- 1640 - Two laps to go...
The gap now... 1.68 seconds... Craig has a sniff but I don't
think he will do it.... Allerton and Johnson have
closed on Dan Stauffer and Bryan Staring who have been
continuing their tussle over fourth place... This could be
one exciting final lap...
- 1638 - Three laps to run
and the gap now is.....1.972.... So the gap has remained
about constant... A 23.0 to both men... Staring still
looking to steal fourth place from Dan Stauffer.
Maxwell must have made a mistake as he has lost seventh
place to Johnson who has now closed on Allerton to a
little.... Jamie just got baulked by a backmarker...
Will it affect the gap.... We will know shortly....
- 1637 - Coxhell catching
Jamie again now... The gap under two seconds now.... Staring
all over Dan Stauffer... Giles looks safe in third though...
- 1636 - Bryan Staring
starting to threaten Dan Stauffer now... Glenn
Allerton has been engaged in a fierce tussle with Wayne
Maxwell over sixth position
- 1635 - Jamie has the
hammer down now, a 22.383 to Coxhell's 22.736, the gap 2.5
seconds. Craig has 1.5 seconds over Giles though who
in turn has 1.4 seconds over Dan Stauffer so at this stage
of the game it is looking likely that we will have two
Suzuki men on the podium in this one...
- 1633 - Jamie replies this
time with a 22.46 to Craig's 22.64 to stretch his buffer
back out to 2.22 seconds...
- 1632 - Jamie's reply....
Giles a second behind Coxhell and now with a full second
over Dan Stauffer who is being caught by a huge gaggle of
riders that includes Staring, Maxwell, Allerton and Johnson,
those four covered by only a second...
- 1631 - Anthony Gobert's
Kawasaki starting to puff plenty of smoke...... The top 10
covered by only 8 seconds.... Anthony Gobert might get a
black flag before his engine really does let go in a big
way...
- 1630 - Coxhell has pulled
away from Giles now, just how much has he clawed back on
Jamie... The gap was 2.584 seconds... Now it is 2.247.... He
is reeling him in a little now... There is 9 laps to run...
- 1629 - Coxhell through on
Giles again, Giles come back up the inside but this
time allows Craig to have a run... Now let's see what
Coxhell can do.... Was Gilesy holding him up? We are
about to find out...
- 1628 - Allerton coming on
strong too, just behind Staring, then it is Maxwell who is
also running well
- 1627 - Shannon Johnson
just ran across the grass and lost a heap of positions...
Jamie cracking out 22s, he leads by 1.8 seconds now,
Coxhell still right behind Giles, Dan there also... Bryan
Staring not much further back...
- 1626 - Holland was running
fifth position but just lost a heap of positions and will be
pushed back to nearly tenth...
- 1625 - A 22.864 to Jamie
this time.. Leads by 1.37 seconds over Giles, Coxhell trying
to get past his teammate.. Dan right on their tail and
watching from a safe distance and ready to pounce should
they make a mistake or trip each other up....
- 1624 - To add insult to
injury Adam Fergusson's pain from running on at turn one has
been amplified by a ten second jump start penalty, currently
in 13th place behind Anthony Gobert...
- 1623 - Shannon Johnson in
seventh position but the fastest man on the track! A 23.549
to the Kawasaki man as he hounds Staring. Coxhell
through on Giles... They swap back again... This has allowed
Jamie to get away a little... 22.723 to Jamie.
- 1622 - Jamie takes the
lead into turn one, thought it might all end in tears as
Giles did not want to give up that position... He is going
to put it on the line in this one...
- 1621 - Jamie all over
Giles, Coxhell right up the Yamaha's clacker in a supporting
role, Dan in fourth so it is
Suzuki-Yamaha-Suzuki-Yamaha-Honda-Honda-Kawasaki
- 1620 - Still Giles from
Jamie, Coxhell still ahead of Dan, Holland, Staring,
Johnson, Charlton, Allerton, Maxwell, Gobert
- 1619 - Shawn Giles and
Jamie Stauffer away well, Shawn with his nose in front when
they come out the other side, Coxhell third, Dan Stauffer
fourth. Krusty ran in too deep at turn one and is well
down the back of the field...
- 1618 - Getting ready for a
Superbike start...
