Superbike Race 2

  • 1602 - Holland through to the lead at turn three,  Stauffer gets him back up the inside at turn four, Holland gets him on the way to turn five, Jamie around the outside at the final turn, a drag to the line......... Holland gets it, what a ride!  He had to come from way back to do it and he will be one very happy boy indeed! 
  • 1600 - Holland put in another 69, a 69.88 to get right on the back of Krusty, then he got past Krusty under brakes for turn four with 2 and a half laps to run.  Then it looked as though Holland may have missed a gear out of turn two and he lost some ground to Jamie and was nearly rear ended by Krusty...  He regains some of that ground to get the last lap board 3-tenths of a second after Jamie... Krusty only a couple of bike lengths further back....
  • 1559 - Lapped traffic now, but the lapped rider keeps out of the way... Only 7-tenths covers the leading trio now setting things up for an exciting last couple of laps...
  • 1558 - 9.85 to Holland, the gap to Krusty now only 1 second and only 1.2 seconds to Jamie, four laps to run...
  • 1556 - 9.93 to Holland that time, the gap 2.1 seconds to Jamie, he is 1.6 seconds behind Krusty... He should get up to Krusty but the Joe Rocket man can make his Fireblade mighty wide and that might be what prevents Holland from being able to challenge Jamie...
  • 1555 - Holland down to 9.85 now, he just might do it, the gap to race leader Jamie Stauffer down to 2.7 seconds, six laps to run....
  • 1554 - Holland dips into the 9s again, 9.97, the gap now 3.3 seconds and he has pulled out more than four seconds over Bugden
  • 1553 - Holland has the gap down to 3.5 seconds now... 8 laps to run... He is going to really have to pull something out of the bag to catch the leading duo...
  • 1552 - Holland is having a go, drops down to the 9s, a 69.97 but that only gets him a tenth back on Stauffer as both he and Fergusson continue to set a hot pace up front...
  • 1551 - Fergusson still right on Jamie's tail.  Holland is through on Bugden and pulling away, now, can he close on the leaders... He has 10 laps to do it but it is a large four second gap he has to try and claw back...
  • 1549 - I believe Krusty has decided to use a treaded Supersport tyre in this race rather than a slick... Puzzling move but it is working for him, still right on the tail of Jamie. Holland being held up by Bugden, Stauffer and Fergusson have pulled away from them to the tune of three seconds...
  • 1547 - Stauffer and Fergusson getting away.  Holland moved past Dan Stauffer for fourth and his next target was Bugden. Fergusson first man in the 9s for this race, a 9.95 to move right onto Jamie's tail cowling... Fergusson thinks about a move under brakes at turn three but pulls out of it... Holland looking for a way past Bugden
  • 1545 - Krusty and Jamie both got off the line well and they go through turn one in that order, Bugden third.  Holland got a bad run off the line and was back in fifth and was at least a second behind the leaders by the time they got to turn three. Glenn Allerton had a massive highside at turn four and the Honda Racesafe people were on the scene and attending by the time the riders hit the main straight. I have said it before, but I'll say it again, our riders are now looked after better than any riders in any championship anywhere in the world. It is better than world class.  No red flag and the action still going on up front, Jamie and Adam the leading protagonists
  • 1542 - Superbikes on their warm up lap now
