Unedited race notes from our live reporting page

  • 1456 - Supersport Race Two Results - Clarke, Waters, Brookes, Aitchison, Fergusson, Seaton, Staring, O'Halloran, Jones, Coote, Davies, Curran, Stalder, Crowe. The top three all set their fastest laps of the race on the last lap such was the heat of the battle. Brookes the fastest time with a 1m13.155
  • 1455 - Still Clarke and Waters up front with a small gap now over 3rd placed Brookes who is still getting monstered by Aitchison. Seaton all over Fergusson challenging for 5th
  • 1451 - Seaton takes 6th from Staring with 5 laps to run, still Clarke out in front and only a second covers the leading quartet
  • 1449 - Still Clarke from Waters, Brookes and Aitchison but still nothing in it. Fergusson managing to hold off Staring for now to retain 5th, Seaton right with him also and looking for a way past Staring in order to make his own challenge for that 5th spot
  • 1447 - Looks like only a matter of time before Staring and also possibly Seaton push Fergusson further down the order, Staring nearly running up the back at him through some of the turns
  • 1446 - Clarke got the lead from Waters who then started to come under immediate further attack from Brookes who also still had Aitchison right up his tailpipe, the battle for 2nd helping Clarke somewhat as he has clear air and can run his own lines while the others trip each other up at every turn. The top four still only separated by 7-tenths of a seconds though
  • 1444 - Supersports are away and it's Josh Waters from Josh Brookes and Adam Fergusson at the end of lap one with Mark Aitchison also right there and threatening as is Clarke. On the second lap Clarke got Aitchison for 4th place. Staring running 6th just ahead of Chris Seaton and Jordan Coote. Clarke then went up the inside of Fergusson at the end of the back straight on the next lap. Aitchison also then started to threaten Fergusson and Clarke latched on to the back of Brookes to start threatening for 2nd place. Bryan Staring was the fastest man on the 4th lap with a 1m13.7 to pull a couple of tenths back on Fergusson who had been surpassed by Aitchison earlier on that lap. Clarke then moved past Brookes for 2nd place with 11 laps to run while Staring and Seaton started to climb all over the back of Fergusson to challenge for 5th and Aitchison put in a new fastest lap of the race with 10 laps to go to make it only half a second covering the top four riders.
