• 1414 - Okay, word is at the moment that results are going to be called as the order was after 16 of the 17 laps, thus counting back one.  Now the rules say that if you cause the red flag then you are removed from those results, and as the red flag was to get medical attention to Aitchison he is deemed to be the cause of the red flag, regardless of if he caused the accident or not, the red flag was to get medical attention to him thus he is the cause of the red flag and thus Aitchison will be removed from the results and O'Halloran will be declared the winner.... Even though it appears he was the one at fault in the accident.... Imagine if a championship was decided in something like that between two riders....
• 1413 - Just saw the slow motion replay and it appeared that this one was O'Halloran was the one at fault in the fall.  He appeared to lose the front and slid into the rear half of Aitchison's bike which sent them both down.
• 1408 - Last lap board now, yellow still being saved at turn six but everything there sorted... There, finally it is brought in now.... So O'Halloran can make a challenge there now if he is close enough, and he does, and again the two trip each other up and go down in the dirt.... Those boys are going to be getting a stern talking two once again from the team boss I would think.  Jamie cruises home for the win... Red flag is out now though, just after they crossed the line.... Not sure if they will go back a lap or not..... So results unclear as yet...  But as they crossed the line it was Stauffer, Staring, Crowe, Waters, Allerton
• 1407 - Two laps to run and Aitchison has 4-tenths over O'Halloran but it isn't settled yet, there is a yellow flag at turn six however which be a factor in the results...
• 1405 - Big tussle now over 5th place with Crowe and Waters now all over the back of Allerton and Shirriffs.  Aitchison getting away from O'Halloran a little now, Jamie looks settled to let them battle for the win while he settles for points
• 1403 - They have the hammer down now, O'Halloran trying to stay with Aitchison but his Yamaha not looking as settled and getting a little untidy at the pace they are running.  Waters and Crowe had recovered from there lap one excursions to fight their ways back up to 7th and 8th respectively and were lapping quicker than Allerton and Shirriffs ahead of them
• 1401 - Allerton and Craig Shirriffs are tussling over fifth place. Still nothing between the leading Yamaha trio, Staring a clear and safe looking fourth
• 1359 - Aitchison in front now but less than half a second covers the leading trio
• 1358 - The three Yamaha men have closed right up now, O'Halloran just put in a 55.6 to catch right onto the back of Aitchison and Stauffer
• 1356 - Glenn Allerton has had some more pain killers to enable him to race in this encounter, he made it through this mornings race but opted out of the Superbike events as he is having trouble coping with the hard braking points and maximum acceleration required at this circuit with his collarbone giving him plenty of trouble
• 1355 - Aitchison marginally quicker than Stauffer on lap two to reduce the gap between them down to 3-tenths, O'Halloran in third 1.4 seconds behind the leader and being chased by Bryan Staring
• 1354 - Jamie Stauffer had the best clutch hand off the line and took the lead ahead of Mark Aitchison and pole sitter Jason O'Halloran, Bryan Staring fourth, Crowe and Waters came together at turn six and both ran off the circuit as a result
• 1352 - Not too far away from a Supersport start now.
• 1346 - I must say that the crowd here might have been a little disappointed with these delays in proceedings, most of the crowd is at one end of the circuit and we have all the riders sat on the grid down the other end...  And no stunt riders or amusement for the majority of the crowd at all...  I am sure that some spectators will voice their disappointment at that state of affairs
