Supersport Race 2

  • 1448 - We believe the finishing order will be......TBC..... Aitchison, O'Halloran, Stauffer, Crowe, Waters, Allerton, Shirriffs, Seaton, Geronomi, Greedy, Kelly, Clarke, Smith, Carr, Casella, Stalder...  Goldsmith doesn't score due to being the cause of the red flag...
  • 1448 - Race declared after 14 of the 17 laps... So if the red flag was not due to Allerton the score will go back one lap and thus he may still get sixth position.... 
  • 1447 - Red flag is out, both of those aforementioned riders looked fine so it could be the fact that one of their machines is in a dangerous position...
  • 1446 - Allerton down.  That promotes Shirriffs to sixth place. Goldsmith down out of 15th place also. 
  • 1445 - Stauffer up the inside of Crowe at the second last turn on the three kilometre track to take third place.... O'Halloran could be his next target but he has three seconds to regain if he is to get on terms with his young team-mate... There will be no catching race leader Aitchison though unless Aitchison makes a big mistake...
  • 1443 - Stauffer is not content in that fourth position, having a go now ad on lap 12 pulled back 8-tenths on Crowe in that one lap...
  • 1442 - Aitchison still reeling off 24s, his lead now out to three seconds. Crowe has 1.4 seconds on Stauffer, Waters 3 seconds behind Stauffer..  The real action is happening in the battle over sixth place between Allerton and Shirriffs, both riders very sideways on corner entries and putting on a good show for the crowd
  • 1440 - Jamie has put his head down again now, a 24.7 to pull 3-tenths back on Crowe, seven laps to run, that 24.372 to Aitchison broke the lap record he set in race one
  • 1439 - Seaton has lost a little pace now... Allerton and Shirriffs both go by and the pair engaging in their own battle over sixth place.  Another new fastest lap to Aitchison, 24.372 to extend his lead over 2 seconds... Crowe has 1.7 seconds over fourth placed Stauffer
  • 1437 - As they pass the halfway point Aitchison has a 1.4 second buffer over O'Halloran.  Crowe has 1.8 seconds over Stauffer, Waters trying to chase down Jamie but he has his work cut out for him. Staring retires to the pits
  • 1436 - Waters has escaped from Seaton now and Allerton attacking Seaton from behind.. Shirriffs there also and not out of the game in that tussle
  • 1434 - New fastest lap of the race to Aitchison on lap six, a 24.582, his lead now 8-tenths.  Crowe has pulled away from Stauffer, the Sydney Steel and Mesh rider now has a 1.3 second buffer over the newly crowned 2006 Australian Supersport Champion
  • 1432 - 6-tenths now the lead held by Aitchison over O'Halloran. Crowe and Stauffer are more than two seconds down on the two front runners. Seaton and Waters trading places at various points of the circuit as Allerton and Shirriffs watch them from behind
  • 1430 - Aitchison leads by half a second with 13 laps to run, Stauffer all over Crowe and challenging for third place then it is Chris Seaton in fifth just ahead of Waters and Allerton.  Shirriffs doing well also on the Suzuki in eighth place and running with Seaton, Waters and Allerton
  • 1428 - Staring down at turn 8.. Gets going again but right at the back of the field now... Michelin boys really struggling with their front tyre and no Michelin runner can match the pace of the Dunlop shod Yamahas
  • 1427 - Stauffer up to fourth now and Dunlop 1-2-3-4... Aitchison cracked a 29.684 from a standing start to enjoy half a second advantage over O'Halloran by the end of lap one.  Seaton takes Staring for fifth late on lap two... O'Halloran quickest man on lap two, a 25.15 to pull a couple of tenths back on Aitchison... Crowe 1.2 seconds down in third then it is half a second to Stauffer, 1.2 seconds to Seaton in fifth and Waters attacking Staring for sixth place, Shirriffs eighth
  • 1425 - Supersports are away!  Crowe leads the field through turn one with Aitchison in behind but Aitchison takes the lead into turn three, O'Halloran third, Staring fourth, Stauffer fifth
