Unedited race notes from our live reporting page

  • 1242 - Updated Superbike Points - Giles 219, Brookes 215, Fergusson 211, Jamie Stauffer 166
  • 1239 - Superbike Race One Results - Allerton, Giles, Fergusson, Bugden, J Stauffer, Brookes, Gobert, Henderson, Geronomi, Holland
  • 1238 - Last lap board and on combined time it is Allerton, Giles, Fergusson, Bugden, Jamie Stauffer now back to 5th in the traffic, Brookes 6th, Gobert 7th, Henderson 8th...  Looks like it is going to be a Suzuki 1-2 and we will have one very pissed off Jamie Stauffer
  • 1237 - On combined time it is Allerton leading from Giles by 1.3 seconds and even with Jamie losing an incredible amount of time with his dirt excursion his performance in the early part of the race means he is still in fourth place and only a tenth behind Fergusson on combined time so still in with a chance of a podium
  • 1235 - Giles challenging Allerton for the lead on track, nearly took him out in fact at the penultimate turn but held it upright and took the lead, Bugden in front of Fergusson on the track but not on combined time.  Jamie Stauffer runs off, he had a moment with Allerton where he got pushed off the line. Disaster for the Kawasaki man who can't take a trick this year, must have broken too many mirrors or walked under too many ladders
  • 1234 - Allerton leading on track from Giles and Jamie Stauffer but remember Jamie has a clear lead on the combined times
  • 1233 - Coming around to grid up now for the re-start. As to the schedule, we had actually got ahead so things are still on track
  • 1226 - Before the flag came out Jamie had 1.4 seconds on Allerton who in turn had 1.6 seconds on Giles while Fergusson was a further 3 seconds down in 4th place. Brookes had got the better of Bugden and Gobert had got back in front of Hendo. Standby for the riders to head out again for the restart.  Organisers really didn't need this delay today as they are on a very tight schedule
  • 1221 - 5 laps to run but I must say the order looks set to possibly stay the same unless someone makes a mistake and that order is Jamie, Glenn and Shawn. Red Flag is out due to a fallen rider and bike, the rider crawled away but the bike is in a dangerous spot so caution was the order of the day, just under 75% of the race has been completed which means this will be a two-part race. So hold you horses on that previous comment, we will be up for a re-start which means anything can happen.  The fallen rider was Justin Millington
  • 1219 - Giles lost some ground on Allerton on that lap, possibly because of an issue trying to get past Stauffer who is out doing some testing in an effort to find the problem with his R1 that put him out of the race early on
  • 1217 - 8 laps to run and still Jamie leading the way by a second and the two Suzuki men running 2nd and 3rd, Fergusson doesn't look as though he will challenge for a podium. Dan Stauffer has gone back out on track in a quest to sort his R1 but has no chance of scoring points
  • 1215 - Jamie Stauffer with a 1 second lead over Allerton who in turn has 8-tenths on Giles who in turn has 2 full seconds on Fergusson now. Brookes all over the back of Bugden and trying to take 5th place. Henderson has got past Gobert for 7th
  • 1214 - Superbikes are away and it is Jamie Stauffer in the lead from Glenn Allerton and Shawn Giles then it is Adam Fergusson, Russell Holland, Anthony Gobert, Nick Henderson and Dan Stauffer rounds out the top eight at the end of the first lap while Brookes languishes in 11th after a shocker of a start to this encounter. Jamie looking strong and no real challenges for position happening up front as they move into lap two and Jamie has pulled nearly a second over his pursuers after putting in a 1m10.312 on his first flying lap for a new lap record, already faster than we saw in qualifying as the conditions are much better today. Dan Stauffer just came into the pits to retire after suffering some sort of mechanical failure. Adam Fergusson starting to get into gear now and closing a little on third placed Giles. The top four are stretching away while Bugden has got into fifth place ahead of Gobert while Brookes has promoted himself up to 7th ahead of Nick Henderson with 11 laps to run.
