  • 1437 - Jamie Staffer takes the win, Aitchison second, O'Halloran third.  Waters brings the Kawasaki home in fourth place ahead of Fergusson, Geronomi, Crowe, Greedy, Smith, Jones, Staring, Quinn, Clarke, Casella and Campbell rounds out the top 15
  • 1436 - Seaton down on the final lap, struggling to get going again
  • 1436 - Staring must have some sort of problem, he is struggling to hold onto 12th place ahead of Quinn and Jones
  • 1435 - Allerton is down and out of the race, up unhurt but that's the end of this race for #34
  • 1433 - Chris Seaton is now leading the battle for seventh ahead of Allerton and Crowe.  Staring has drifted back to 12th place behind Greedy and Smith
  • 1431 - Aitchison still staying in touch with Stauffer, the gap still around half a second... Things are not all over yet... Waters has pulled away from Fergusson and the Kawasaki just benefitted from the fact that Fergusson and Geronomi just got held up badly for half a lap behind backmarker Jason Cullen
  • 1430 - Waters is through on Fergusson to take fourth position. O'Halloran had a bad lap that time around, drifting back to a 70 second time after running as quick as a high 68 earlier on in the race...
  • 1429 - Waters right on the back of Fergusson now but I have seen a few small puffs of smoke from his ZX-6RR..... Will it make race distance...?
  • 1428 - Waters and Geronomi are closing in on Fergusson and are running quick enough to get the better of him before race end
  • 1427 - Aitchison has dropped into the 68s now in an effort to stay in touch with Jamie, and he is still within striking distance, the gap only 6-tenths with 8 laps to run
  • 1426 - Josh Waters and Shaun Geronomi are three seconds ahead of that battle for 7th and having their own battle over fifth spot, Waters with his nose in front at present
  • 1425 - The best current battle on the track is being waged over 7th with Staring currently leading a battle over that position while tussling with Allerton, Crowe and Seaton
  • 1422 - Jamie is getting serious now though, setting a new fastest lap of the race with a 68.8 to extend his buffer over Aitchison out to 7-tenths
  • 1421 - O'Halloran has pulled half a second ahead of Fergusson and is now lapping faster than his team-mates...
  • 1420 - Geronomi has dropped off the leading group and is now being threatened by Josh Waters and the pair have shuffled Allerton back to 7th just ahead of Staring and Crowe
  • 1419 - O'Halloran on the back of Fergusson and threatening... Still Jamie and Aitchison the lead pair..  O'Halloran challenges Fergusson under brakes for the esses, makes it stick to take third place to make it a Team Yamaha 1-2-3 with 14 laps to run
  • 1417 - Jamie is not getting away.  Aitchison is on his tail and Krusty is still in touch also.  Allerton really starting to come under attack from Geronomi now and in danger of losing 5th place.
  • 1415 - Supersports away now and Jamie gets a cracker run off the line to lead them through turn one, he pulled a couple of bike lengths from the startline alone! Aitchison and Fergusson giving chase with O'Halloran, Allerton and Geronomi also in the hunt. Waters, Staring and Crowe the next best
  • 1359 - Supersport up next
