FZ-6 Cup - Race One

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

• 1329 - Apparently the other rider caused the red flag and not Fox so Fox will keep his second place, so Houwen the winner, Fox second, Greentree third followed by McClue, Knox, Stafford, Ward, Moulton, McKenzie, Olson, Shields, Frost, Mills, Magee, Marsh, Wootton
• 1328 - Josh Houwen is the winner however I am certain of that and second place may go to Keith Greentree and third place to Ewan McClue
• 1326 - Jump start penalties have also been handed down against Magee and McKenzie. Race has been declared now, positions will go back a lap and the rider that caused the red flag will be taken from the result.
• 1325 - Two riders down, one in the entrance to the tight back section and one on the second last straight. Machines stranded in the middle of the circuit at both locations so we have the red flag out again. One of the fallers was second placed Jack Fox.
• 1322 - Five laps to run and Houwen leads by 3.3 seconds over Jack Fox who in turn has 3 seconds on Keith Greentree, Ewan McClue fourth then Chris Knox, Joel Stafford, Peter Ward, Beau McKenzie
• 1318 - We are away again now, Houwen the early leader. Munn fell at turn one.
• 1310 - Jade Durling one of the riders down and we will have yet another delay to push us even further behind schedule. The riders are okay and the bikes now being cleared. The lunch break has been cancelled to try and catch up some time but even then we will still be a long way behind schedule
• 1308 - Well we didn't even manage to complete the first lap as two riders went down at turn one!
• 1307 - The FZ6 Cup race is about to get underway. Josh Houwen will be a shoe in for this one I predict as the field is very spread out in regards to their levels of experience and skills. Some very experienced racers out with some novices also brave enough to put their hat in the ring to take advantage of the attractive package being offered by Yamaha to get involved in the new series.
