Supersport - Race Four

  • 1539 - O'Halloran takes a convincing win with a 23.862 on the final lap.  He wins by 2.87 seconds over Crowe who in turn had 1.7 on Waters, Jamie Stauffer fourth then it was Holland, Staring, Seaton, Jones, Smith, Johnson, Maxwell, Greedy, Kelly, Davies, Hay, Andrews, Casella, Goldsmith.  A new lap record to Jason O'Halloran, a 1m23.465
  • 1538 - Last lap board now and O'Halloran leads by 2.7 seconds, Waters 8-tenths further behind, Stauffer seven seconds behind the Suzuki man who in turn has two seconds on Holland, Staring in sixth, Jones seventh, Seaton eighth
  • 1536 - Waters has been badly held up by a backmarker now, that will make second place safe for Crowe... The Suzuki man certainly fared worst in the traffic that lap around...
  • 1534 - O'Halloran has backed it off a little now, three laps to run, the leaders all having backmarkers to contest with now...
  • 1532 - Famous last words.. Just as I said the Suzuki is hooking up better it again starts to grip and slip as Waters puts the power down... O'Halloran has run away with it now however, he leads by 3.2 seconds and still continues to crack out 23s while the others have drifted back into the 24s. Jamie doesn't look as though he is going to be able to get into a position to challenge for a podium in this one
  • 1530 - O'Halloran leads by 2.3 seconds now, Waters trying to get Crowe but even when he gets on the power earlier than the Yamaha man he can't match it when upright, it really looks to be handling beautifully now however, hooking up much better than this morning and yesterday
  • 1529 - A 23 to all the top three, Crowe looks to have a power advantage over Waters, if the Suzuki man is going to make that second place his he is going to have to put it all on the line and force his way through as it certainly looks as though he won't be getting an invitation!
  • 1528 - Waters is on Crowe but Winton not an easy circuit to pass on, this will help Jason, he leads now by 1.7 seconds, the top trio still cracking out 23 after 23
  • 1527 - Waters right on Crowe now! Jamie can't match them here today!  A lot of racing under his belt though and a tiring weekend with two rounds across both the Supersport and Superbike classes perhaps taking its toll on the double champ.
  • 1526 - Jason under the lap record yet again, now a 23.465 to make his lead now a full second, a 23.875 to Crowe but a brilliant 23.483 to Waters, the Suzuki man might yet make the lap record his!
  • 1525 - Jason sets a new lap record again, a 23.630,  Crowe again right with him and put in a 23.635, only 5-thousandths between them!!!  Incredible stuff... Waters and Jamie also on this mornings lap record pace, a 23.878 to Waters on that last lap and a 23.838 to Jamie, this quartet head and shoulders above the rest this afternoon...
  • 1524 - Crowe slowly pulling away from Waters now, only 6-tenths between them but he has Jamie Stauffer 1.4 seconds behind him and eager to make it another Yamaha 1-2-3
  • 1523 - Jamie is through on Holland now, Crowe really trying to chase down O'Halloran and just put in a 23.770 to nearly beat the lap record that Jason set on the lap before...
  • 1521 - There it is, Jason sets a new lap record, 23.735 to the youngster, he now leads by 0.750 of a second, Waters not far behind Crowe and nearly a full second further back is Holland who is being hassled by Jamie Stauffer
  • 1520 - O'Halloran leads by half a second over Crowe, same gap back to third placed Waters.  O'Halloran only a tenth off the lap record... New rubber in this one so they might crack out a new record...
  • 1519 - 23.9 to O'Halloran that time around, he leads by 0.452 now from Crowe who has a bike length or two on Waters, similar gaps to Holland and then Stauffer.
  • 1518 - 7-tenths of a second cover the top four..
  • 1517 - O'Halloran to the lead now after putting in a 24.25, Waters right on Crowe and trying to challenge for third...
  • 1516 - A few changes as been made to the suspension of the Suzuki for this race so Waters might be able to stick with the Yamaha men this time around... Crowe leads from O'Halloran still, Waters third, Holland fourth then it was Jamie Stauffer, Staring, Seaton and Sam Smith
  • 1515 - Supersports away now and it Crowe in the lead from O'Halloran, Waters and Holland.
  • 1503 - Supersport up next
