Superbike Race Two

  • 1606 - Bayliss all over Toseland but the Honda maintaining the lead... Haga third, Corser fourth, Biaggi fifth.... We have a battle to the line for he win and also for third....  I think Toseland will take the win... Yes he does, Toseland the winner and punches the air in celebration!  He is a happy boy indeed.  Toseland the winner, Bayliss second, Haga the final man on the podium and closely followed home by Biaggi and Corser.  Xaus sixth then followed by Lanzi, Neukirchner, Fabrizio, Rolfo, Smrz, Brookes, Nakatomi, Nieto, Polita, Zaiser

  • 1604 - Toseland and Bayliss the pace men here all weekend and showing it again today... Biaggi back through on Haga for third place as they get the last lap board... Toseland and Bayliss down to 32.8 on the penultimate lap... Then the Yamaha men push Biaggi back to fifth again as they start the final lap!
  • 1603 - Corser runs onto the dirt down the main straight and lost a lot of time on Haga and Biaggi, perhaps too much for him to be able to get on terms with them again for a podium challenge...
  • 1602 - Corser up the inside of Biaggi at turn four to push the Suzuki man back to fifth.. Toseland and Bayliss have left them in their wake now, the leading duo now have more than 2.5 seconds on the Suzuki-Yamaha-Yamaha battle for third place...
  • 1601 - Biaggi repays the favour to Haga on the next lap by slipping back through to third at MG.. Haga on his tail down the chute... And Haga very brave into turn one to steal third place back, three laps to run... Toseland and Bayliss are going away from them...
  • 1600 - Haga underneath Biaggi into MG Hairpin to take third place.  Ellison has retired to the pits... Bayliss has responded to Toseland to put in a 32.79 and close right back onto the pipe of the Fireblade once again.
  • 1559 - They are stretching out a little now... Toseland has upped the pace, back down to 33.0.. Bayliss going with him but Biaggi and the Yamaha duo left behind on that last lap and they will also have to up their game if they are to stay in the hunt
  • 1557 - The top five still only covered by 1.1 seconds, Toseland the leader from Bayliss, Biaggi, Haga and Corser
  • 1556 - Laconi has rolled to a stop with some machinery dramas
  • 1555 - The top five well ahead of the rest of the field. Lanzi is running sixth some seven seconds further back and in front of Xaus, Laconi, Fabrizio, Neukirchner, Nieto, Rolfo, Smrz, Brookes, Nakatomi, Polita, Zaiser, Ellison
  • 1553 - Corser closes up again though to make the top five covered by a single second...
  • 1551 - Biaggi not challenging Bayliss and Toseland yet... Haga is actually right on his tail again now... Corser losing touch with them...
  • 1549 - Biaggi passes both Yamaha men... Half race distance and now we have Honda, Ducati, Suzuki...
  • 1548 - Biaggi only 7-tenths behind Haga now... Biaggi 1.4 seconds behind the race leader and the race leader is not Troy Bayliss, the Ducati has gone through on the Honda.... But Toseland back through and then Haga through also... The top five all nose to tail now.... That was all quite strange, it was as though Bayliss looked around and decided he didn't want to lead the way as yet but he wasn't counting on a Yamaha sneaking through also!!!
  • 1547 - Biaggi still closing steadily... He is only 1.3 seconds behind Haga now... 1.99 seconds behind the race leader...
  • 1545 - The Yamaha men really struggling to stay with the Honda and Ducati now... Biaggi closing in on the Yamahas and again the quickest man on that previous lap...
  • 1543 - Bayliss right on Toseland now and shaping up for a challenge... Biaggi is nearly three seconds behind Toseland but now only two seconds behind Haga...
  • 1541 - The race pace a little slower in this race... That could help the Yamahas in their quest to keep some grip towards the end of the race...
  • 1540 - Bayliss gets Corser into turn one to take second place.  Biaggi the quickest man on that lap, a 33.07 but he needs to go quicker again if he is going to catch this group...
  • 1539 - Biaggi has got the better of Laconi and Xaus now to move back up to fifth but is 3 seconds behind the leading quartet
  • 1538 - The top four very close now, less than a second covering the whole quartet. Haga again the quickest man, Bayliss sandwiched between two Yamaha R1s
  • 1536 - Toseland the first man in the 32s with a 32.878 on lap two but Haga the quickest man on lap three with a 32.627 and is closing on third placed Bayliss. Running fifth is Xaus ahead of Laconi, Biaggi, Lanzi, Nieto and Neukirchner.  Steve Martin ahs returned to the pits with some machinery problems
  • 1534 - Biaggi then gets carved up by Xaus and Haga around the back of the circuit to be shuffled back to seventh.  Corser leading by 3-tenths from Toseland and Bayliss at the end of the first lap but those three tightened right up during lap two and ran onto the main straight tightly packed together and Toseland ripped through to the lead at turn one, and the three nearly side by side into Southern Loop... But Toseland out the other side in front, Corser second, Bayliss third.
  • 1533 - Biaggi gets the holeshot once again but Toseland rushes up the inside of him into turn two but Corser the man that hits the front in the run to turn two, and Bayliss up to second.
  • 1532 - We are set for a start in World Superbike Race Two...
