  • 1231 - Jamie holds on and takes the win with a strong sprint to the flag, Dan third, Maxwell a great fourth and Bugden got back past Charlton for fifth place, Stroud seventh, Johnson eighth. Jamie set his fastest lap of the race on the last lap which suggests that he was indeed held up a little by Dan and if he gets away well in leg two he could be up for the double.... Holland will be out to stop him though
  • 1230 - Jamie into the lead, Russell up to second place,  Jamie has put the hammer down hoping his brother could hold Holland up but Holland got through and is out after him, this is going to be a sprint now... Who will have the fastest time on this next lap....
  • 1229 - Charlton starting to challenge Bugden for fifth place...  The battle up front heating up also.... Lapped traffic starting to come into play also but they haven't been tripped up by it as yet...
  • 1228 - Lapped traffic now, Dan in front of Jamie and Russell... The three virtually nose to tail now...
  • 1227 - Jamie got Russell and Russell nearly ran up his clacker on the exit of one of the faster turns, Holland outside at the hairpin but that was not going to work and it cost him time, Holland now a couple of bike lengths behind the Yamaha brothers... 5 to run
  • 1226 - Holland all over the back of Dan Stauffer with six laps to run, Jamie right behind him also and ready to pounce should their be any mistakes, the leading trio fighting hard,  Maxwell 2 seconds behind in a strong and safe fourth place with 6 to run
  • 1224 - Holland down to 54.0 after getting past Maxwell, the Yamaha men doing 54.5... Oh my god, that was amazing, Holland took both Yamahas at once in a move that nobody here would have predicted, it messed up his exit and Dan squeezed back through to the lead but he has announced his intentions in the loudest of terms.... It's on!
  • 1223 - Holland all over the back of Maxwell now but it won't be easy to get past. Dan still holding off Jamie... Holland through now under brakes for the hairpin.... 9 laps to run in this shortened race....
  • 1221 - Dan still holding off the advances of Jamie, Holland has streaked away from Bugden, backed up his 53.6 with a 53.8 to close to within half a second of Maxwell,  only 1.5 seconds cover the leading quartet now.... Shaping up for battle....
  • 1220 - Maxwell closing on the Yamaha pair a little now, Holland has got past Bugden and immediately set a new fastest lap of the race with a stunning 53.6, he is on a mission
  • 1219 - Jamie looking for a way past his brother, both Yamaha men putting in a 54.3 on that last lap, Maxwell still third and Holland being held up a little by Bugden perhaps...
  • 1218 - Waters returned to pit lane to retire for some reason. Only a tenth separating Dan and Jamie, Maxwell 1 second behind them, Holland past Johnson and all over the back of Bugden now
  • 1217 - Russell Holland has his work cut out for him from seventh place early on the first lap, he got past Stroud for sixth late on the opening lap. Dan leading the way from Jamie and the two having a go at each other, Wayne Maxwell a strong third ahead of Bugden and Johnson
  • 1216 - Jamie Stauffer leads them through turn one ahead of his brother and Wayne Maxwell, Dan into the lead at the hairpin
  • 1211 - Superbike men on the grid with tyre warmers in place and brolly dollies at the ready, still a while away from a race start here.  Wind is still around but weaker than it has been all weekend, track temp is around 27 degrees and overall conditions are the best we have had all weekend
