- 1227 - More time penalties... Crowe also
scores a penalty and is relegated to fifth in the results...
So Stauffer the winner from Maxwell, Charlton, Greedy,
Crowe, Keevers, Staring, Curran, Geronimi, Christie
- 1223 - A dust up between Crowe and
Staring has allowed Maxwell to get back on terms... Maxwell
under Staring at MG but the Yamaha man crosses the line
third but will be relegated to 7th in the results due to
jumping the start... Jamie the winner by 2.2 seconds over
Crowe, one apiece to the Yamaha men with two more races to
run this weekend. Fastest lap a 36.05 to Jamie
- 1222 - Jamie is not going to let them get
back in touch... A 36.2 on the penultimate lap to stretch
his lead out to 1.3 seconds...
- 1221 - Jamie is getting away now though,
two laps to run and Jamie now has 7-tenths over his
teammate, Maxwell looked to be making his charge forward to
join the affray but is out of the battle now, more than 1.5
seconds behind the race leader. He looks safe for third on
the results sheets however due to the penalty that will be
applied to Staring...
- 1220 - A 36.23 the best lap thus far in
this encounter to Jamie Stauffer but Crowe is still dusting
him up at every opportunity, Staring watching on from just
behind although of course will be shuffled down the order in
the results due to that ten second penalty.. Staring joins
the battle though, stuffs it under Crowe at turn four and
steals second place. He doesn't care about what the results
sheets say he wants to cross that line first regardless...
- 1219 - A battle royale developing between
the Yamaha men with Jamie Stauffer and Jeremy Crowe giving
each no quarter despite their status as teammates, the
younger rider paying no respect to Jamie on the circuit
today... Maxwell closing...
- 1218 - I was mistaken, that green machine
in the mix up front is nor Geronimi but is Scott Charlton
but he is now losing touch with Maxwell who has his head
down to try and chase down the Yamaha men
- 1217 - Down the main straight for the
first time, .3 covers the top three Yamaha men, but Staring
will score a penalty... Maxwell 8-tenths behind race leader
and race one winner Jeremy Crowe. Staring has the penalty,
it's official, a ten second penalty to Staring
- 1216 - A Kawasaki joins the party at turn
four, guessing it would be one Shaun Geronimi, he tried up
the inside of Maxwell at Honda Corner but the Honda man
holds onto the position but their dust up has allowed the
Yamaha men to break away a little already...
- 1215 - Supersports away, thing Bryan
Staring may have jumped the gun and thus could score a
penalty... Yamaha 1-2-3 followed by Maxwell through Southern
Loop.
