Superbike Race 1

  • 1100 - Jamie celebrates a dominant win with a great mono down the pit straight... Bugden holds on to second from Giles, Stroud fourth, Holland fifth then it was Allerton, Waters, Maxwell, Etheridge, Roe, Odendaal, Gurowski, Tozer, Manning, Charlton, Higgins....  Jamie now leads the series by 28 points
  • 1058 - Last lap board now... Jamie leads by ten seconds... Gilesy getting within striking distance of Bugden for second..... Holland trying to take fourth place back from Stroud...
  • 1054 - Stroud through on Holland for fourth now so it is Suzuki 2-3-4 now... Gilesy is pulling some ground back on Bugden now...
  • 1052 - Charlton down!  He has been carrying great entry speed but it has bit him and he is down... So Bugden in a comfortable second place now with a three second buffer over his team-mate
  • 1051 - Bugden hasn't give up the chase on Charlton yet...The gap between the two around half a second but they are more than 7 seconds behind Jamie now... Giles still fourth from Holland and Stroud.  Allerton and Maxwell tussling over seventh.....
  • 1047 - Jamie leads by five seconds now.... Bugden 8-tenths behind Charlton, Giles holding off Holland and Stroud....
  • 1045 - Charlton up to second and getting away from Bugden little by little... Jamie reeling off 22s to pull away out in front.. Charlton the next fastest down to 23.45 on lap seven....10 laps to run...
  • 1043 - Jamie has clear air and the result is a 22.24 as soon as he hits the lead... Blows away the Superbike lap record and also the V8 Supercar lap record... He pulls out two seconds on Bugden who is starting to come into danger from Charlton who is closing... Holland and Stroud are right on Gilesy... Charlton starting to attack Bugden now...
  • 1042 - Jamie down to 23 now also and takes the lead from Bugden.... He might disappear from here.....  Charlton up to third!!! 
  • 1041 - Stroud has put down the fastest lap thus far!  A 23.748 to the Kiwi Suzuki rider, Charlton also down to 23... They are the only two down to 23s as yet...
  • 1040 - Jamie all over Bugden.... Charlton and Stroud closing on Holland now....
  • 1038 - Still Giles, Bugden, Holland, Jamie, Charlton, Stroud late on lap two.... Stauffer up to third though at the penultimate corner and out after the Suzuki men....  Maxwell up to seventh..... Bugden into the lead.... Jamie up to second to push Giles back to third....
  • 1037 - Jamie still fourth as the first lap draws to a close... He would need clear air to run those fantastic lap times he did yesterday so this means we could have a race here today.... At the start of lap two Bugden goes up to second to make it a Yoshimura Suzuki 1-2.... Charlton fifth, Stroud sixth, Waters seventh, Maxwell eighth...
  • 1036 - Gilesy gets the holeshot and leads the field through turn one from Holland, Bugden and Jamie is fourth
  • 1035 - The Superbike field is lacking a little here today.... Krusty is out.... Dan Stauffer is out...Johnson is out... Holland is battling with injury... Giles is returning after a few months off and still getting back up to full speed....
  • 1030 - Holland's collarbone was plated with ten screws less than two weeks ago and the tight turns here could prove a challenge... Will he be able to take it up to Jamie Stauffer....?  On qualifying form Rossi would have trouble keeping with Jamie here this weekend and the warm weather will prove friendly to the Dunlop runner so at this stage of the game the question really should be not if Jamie will win.... But by how much will Jamie win and will he lap the backmarkers twice....?
