Superbike Race 2

• 1649 - Pro Twins race underway now, Willis two seconds behind McMartin in second place wit six laps to run
• 1639 - Jamie leads the points race on I believe 269 points from Holland on 232, Stroud is in third place on 173 points, Bugden next on 166.5 then it is Dan Stauffer (150), Charlton (147.5), Johnson (126.5), Maxwell (122).  TBC
• 1636 - Stroud closing on Bugden... Taking a small amount of ground on him at each turn.... Into the final turn Stroud is right on the tail of Bugden but it is the PTR man that has the grunt to the line to take that second place, Stroud third, Charlton fourth, Holland fifth then it was Giles, Maxwell, Waters, Etheridge
• 1635 - Bugden has responded to the challenge from Stroud and has pulled a few bike lengths out on the Kiwi and should hold on to second place.  Charlton fourth, Holland fifth, Giles sixth then it is ten seconds back to seventh place Maxwell who still has Waters on his tail, Etheridge much further back in ninth place
• 1634 - Holland can't hang on to Charlton and down in fifth place but is in front of Giles.... Jamie has 15 seconds on the field....
• 1632 - Bugden looks to be having a few chatter problems on the Yoshimura Suzuki.... Stroud looks smooth in comparison and Bugden will have his work cut out in holding off the New Zealander over these four remaining laps...
• 1631 - Stroud making a big challenge on Bugden for second place now.... Charlton fourth, Holland fifth, Giles sixth, then it is eight seconds back to Maxwell who is starting to come under attack from Waters
• 1629 - Holland and Charlton both past Gilesy now.... Maybe that arm pump has come again to haunt Gilesy in this one... That four months off the bike is hurting the three time champion here this weekend.... Allerton into the pits to retire.... Not sure what the problem is but that complete a disaster weekend for the Joe Rocket Honda squad...
• 1627 - Stauffer leads by 10 seconds with 8 laps to run... Stroud on the back of Giles... Hold that.... Stroud through on Giles to move up to third place.... Stroud on Pirelli rubber while the PTR Suzuki men on Dunlops.... 
• 1626 - Stroud up the inside of Holland... Holland needs all the points he can get and that will be a blow....
• 1625 - Stauffer leads by nine seconds now... Bugden and Giles nose to tail and Holland and Stroud right there also... Charlton a couple of bike lengths further behind in sixth place but with a healthy buffer over seventh placed Maxwell
• 1623 - Jamie leads by the complete length of the straight between turns 8 and 9...  Stroud closing in on Holland...  Allerton laying thick black lines of Michelin in his efforts to hold out tenth placed Etheridge
• 1621 - Bugden, Giles and Holland all nose to tail.... Holland will try and make a move on Giles soon I reckon....  Stroud just ahead of Charlton then a gap back to Maxwell who has 1.5 seconds over eighth placed Waters who in turn has 5 seconds on Allerton who is being chased by Etheridge
• 1619 - Jamie is out in clear air and taking advantage of it while Bugden leads a big group of riders, it is Bugden in second closely followed by Giles, Holland, Stroud and Charlton all fairly tightly packed... 13 laps to run
• 1617 - 22.999 to Jamie on lap two, next best was Holland with a 24.15 in fourth place and looking for a way past Gilesy as Bugden moves up to second place.  Stroud and Charlton not far behind them...
• 1616 - Jamie pulling an escape act already this time around... Bugden looking for a way past Giles,  Holland in fourth place and right there also, less than two weeks since Holland had a plate and ten screws put in his collarbone and there is no rest at this tight Winton circuit making things especially difficult for the #83 Honda man
• 1615 - Jamie through to the lead now, Stroud in fifth place behind Holland. 28.4 to Jamie on the opening lap from a standing start
• 1614 - Away they go... Gilesy leads them into turn one from Jamie and Robbie...  Shawn had big arm pump problems in race one, something he has never suffered from before but the long time off the bike is taking its toll today...
• 1611 - Superbikes on their warm up lap now,  slightly cooler track temp this time around, down to around 37c
