- 1231 - O'Halloran crosses
the line ahead of Stauffer by a nose to take the win by
2.939 seconds on combined time, a very slow last lap by
Staring gave Stauffer second place and the Honda man takes
third. Waters fourth, Holland fifth, Crowe sixth
- 1230 - Staring looks to
have given up the chase however as he must think he is third
on combined time.... He looks to have relaxed too much and
he will lose that second place as a result I fear...
- 1229 - Last lap board and
Staring is close enough to Stauffer to be in second place on
combined time now.... O'Halloran has the win for sure but
second place is still too close to tall on combined time...
- 1227 - The top three all
running nose to tail now... O'Halloran to the lead on
the track! Up the inside of Jamie
- 1226 - O'Halloran up to
second now and Jamie has built enough of a gap over Staring
on the track to move up to second place on combined time so
we look on course for a Yamaha 1-2 now. Three laps to run...
- 1225 - Jamie through on
Staring now for the on track lead. O'Halloran all over
Staring now and the gap between the two on combined time 1.8
seconds in O'Halloran's favour
- 1222 - O'Halloran
underneath the Suzuki now to take third place on track. The
gap on combined time 1.1 seconds to O'Halloran over Staring.
Jamie Stauffer is right on the tail of Staring but on
combined time lies in third place 8-tenths behind second
placed Staring
- 1221 - O'Halloran
struggling to get past Waters also, the Suzuki looks to
perhaps have the most mumbo of all the bikes here today.
Staring the fastest man on the track, a 24.631. Only 1.2
seconds behind O'Halloran on combined time now..
- 1219 - Down the main
straight and Jamie Stauffer looks up the inside of Staring
into turn one but the Honda man holds on to the lead.
O'Halloran still leads on combined time by 1.7 seconds over
Staring
- 1218 - Waters holding off
Staring, Stauffer right there also and O'Halloran right on
his tail. Staring finally makes his move in the tight
section around the back of the circuit and Stauffer up to
second at the next turn to push Waters back to third.
- 1216 - Staring looks up
the inside into turn one but pulls out of the move, he has
to make his move or Stauffer will push him back to third
- 1215 - Waters gets the
holeshot again with O'Halloran in behind but of course on
combined time O'Halloran leads by nearly 2.5 seconds. But on
the track this time around it is Waters in front, Staring
second on the track and Jamie Stauffer up to third place now
as O'Halloran gets shuffled back to fourth
- 1214 - Ready for the
restart now
- 1155 - Rider is fine but
his bike is stranded in the middle of the track making
things dangerous for the other riders. The bike down is that
belonging to I think Glenn Cullen but he walked away
unscathed. We didn't need that delay however as we are
already a long time behind schedule
- 1154 - 10 laps to run now
and O'Halloran leads by 2.4 seconds over Staring, both
riders just put in 24.4. RED FLAG
- 1153 - O'Halloran
untroubled up front and puts in a new fastest lap, a 24.305
(new race lap record). Staring has pulled half a second out
on Waters and Stauffer. Jamie Stauffer a bit more
forceful than Staring and now through on Waters
- 1151 - Staring still on
the tail of Waters and perhaps took too long to make his
move, but he has done it now around the tight back section
just as Jamie joined them to make it a three way affair
- 1150 - Waters is holding
off Staring and Stauffer starting to close on them now.
O'Halloran running his own race more than 1.3 seconds out in
front of that second place battle. A 24.471 to O'Halloran on
that last lap but Stauffer the man on the move with a new
fastest lap of the race with a 24.412... Still 13 laps
to run so certainly everything still up for grabs
- 1149 - 14 laps to run and
O'Halloran leads by a second now after putting in a 24.794.
Staring challenging Waters for second place now, Stauffer
1.3 seconds further down in fourth place and has nearly a
second over Crowe, Holland and Seaton with that trio running
virtually nose to tail
- 1148 - O'Halloran
sprinting away from the Suzuki now. Waters looks to be
struggling for rear grip onto the main straight with two
grip and slips breaking away on the Suzuki which gave
O'Halloran a good buffer.
- 1147 - O'Halloran up the
inside of Waters at the end of the old straight, Staring
closing on that leading duo a little. Stauffer up to
fourth place now
- 1146 - Staring up the
inside of Crowe to take third place, O'Halloran all over
Waters now and this pair getting away a little
- 1145 - Away they go!
The front row all away well but Josh Waters on the Suzuki
takes the lead into turn one! O'Halloran in second place,
Crowe in third then it is Staring, Holland and Stauffer
- 1143 - Not far away now
from the first Supersport race of the weekend and signs are
encouraging that Yamaha's complete 1-2-3 domination of the
class may be coming to end with the new Pirelli shod 2007
model CBR600RR looking to be gaining pace in what is the
very early stages of its development. Holland and Staring
will both start from the front row alongside Crowe and
O'Halloran while Jamie Stauffer heads the second row where
two more manufacturers are represented, Josh Waters flying
the flag for Suzuki and Wayne Maxwell putting a Kawasaki
near the pointy end of the field. Kawasaki this round
running new tyres after switching to Dunlop from Michelin
