125 GP Race 2

  • 1144 - The top four covered by 2-tenths of a second but it was Esler that had his nose in front to take the win ahead of Moller, Rigoli, Simmonds, Galvin, Hatton and Campbell. 
  • 1142 - The top five still having a titanic battle, I think Cath won't have minded too much that she crashed as she can enjoy watching the race from the tyre wall at turn five. The braking duels at every turn seeing the order of the top five change at virtually every turn. If they all make it to the flag it will be a miracle!
  • 1139 - With four laps to run the top five was covered by less than a second, Simmonds with the advantage over Moller, Esler, Rigoli and Galvin.  Hatton made a mistake early in the race that cost him plenty of time and is running in sixth place, nearly three seconds behind the leader but with the huge battle happening up front he has a good chance of catching them as they trip each other up
  • 1137 - Cath Thompson was pitched from her machine on the exit of turn five and looked winded but managed to get up quick enough to avoid the race being stopped. They don't come much tougher than Cath that's for sure!  Her machine continued on without her all the way to turn six! 
  • 1136 - Simmonds, Esler and Galvin virtually side by side as they start lap three.
  • 1134 - 125 GP Race 2 underway now and it is Simmonds has the early advantage over Esler, Galvin and Rigoli
