Supersport Race 1

  • 1124 - One of the crashed bikes caused a bit of a grass fire which is being extinguished now. 
  • 1122 - Crowe down.  Struggling to get up and going again.... Aitchison takes the win from O'Halloran, Stauffer third.  Crowe was a long way in front of Greedy but didn't get going again quick enough to salvage that fourth place so Greedy gets fourth, Jones fifth, Davies sixth, Waters seventh. Something must have happened to Seaton on the last lap
  • 1121 - O'Halloran up to second now, Crowe closing on them too...
  • 1119 - Aitchison still putting in low 34s, lap after lap.  Leads by over four seconds now. O'Halloran is staying in touch with Stauffer
  • 1116 - Aitchison leads by 2.7 seconds, Stauffer second but not clear of O'Halloran. Crowe in fourth with a handy buffer over Greedy, Seaton, Jones, Davies, Waters and Clarke
  • 1114 - Greedy has got the better of Seaton, the Kawasaki man looking to be struggling for rear grip with the back end breaking away on him out of the tighter turns
  • 1113 - Stauffer up to second now but it's unlikely he will catch Aitchison who 2.3 seconds on him...
  • 1111 - Aitchison leading by 2.1 seconds now while Stauffer stalks O'Halloran
  • 1109 - 9 laps to run and Aitchison has 1.5 seconds on O'Halloran who in turn has Stauffer right on his tail. Crowe a couple of tenths behind then quite a long way back to Seaton in fifth who is followed by Greedy, Jones, Davies, Waters and Smith rounds out the top ten
  • 1107 - New race lap record to Aitchison, a 1m34.1 breaking Brookesy's lap record from way back in 2003.
  • 1106 - Aitchison sneaking away from O'Halloran now, Crowe back to fourth after possibly making a mistake somewhere... Geronomi was catching from behind before his R6 decided to somersault itself off into the bushes but thankfully his bounces were nowhere near as damaging and he was up quickly.  Tough little bugger he is
  • 1103 - Supersports are away and it is Aitchison away well from Crowe, O'Halloran and Stauffer in fourth.  Stauffer will take no risks in this one as the 600 title is already is and he has to be fit to try and take the Superbike crown this afternoon
  • 1047 - Supersport up next
