Superbike Race 2

  • 1605 - Jamie takes the win, Giles second, Bugden third. Staring fourth, Johnson fifth, Holland sixth, Stroud seventh then it was Allerton, Maxwell, Roe, Charlton, Gibson, Gurowski, Spence, Odendaal.  Final points  Jamie 320, Russ 264, Bugden 204
  • 1604 - Johnson might have a last ditch effort to get Staring back but he has 7-tenths of a second to make up in order to challenge on this last lap
  • 1603 - Staring gets Johnson between turns nine and ten and immediately starts to pull away. Bugden has four seconds over him and with two laps to run that will be too much of an ask.  Jamie leads by 2.5 seconds over Giles who in turn has 8 seconds on Bugden
  • 1601 - Bryan Staring has a look up the inside of Johnson into turn two but can't pull it off, Johnson has always been a demon under brakes and corner entry and Staring is not accustomed to banging fairings with the Kawasaki man as Staring does not normally ride Superbike
  • 1559 - Jamie still leading from Giles. Bugden not caching Giles but Staring is inching closer to Johnson, the gap only just over half a second between them now as they fight for the honour of being the highest finishing Michelin man
  • 1557 - Jamie leads by 1.5 seconds now over Gilesy. Bugden has four seconds to make up if he is to challenge Giles for second place. Staring has 1.5 seconds to make up on Johnson if he hopes to challenge for fourth
  • 1555 - Stroud, Allerton and Holland tussling over sixth position, that group is 5 seconds behind fifth placed Staring with seven laps to run.  Johnson starting to struggle for grip now, he is running a Supersport tyre in this race after persisting with slicks for much of the season while the Honda boys changed to the Supersport rubber earlier in the season and thus have their bike set-up better for the treaded rubber and that could help the Honda men later in this race
  • 1554 - Bugden through for third place after getting the better of Johnson.  Etheridge ends his race in the tyre wall from ninth place
  • 1553 - Jamie through though around the back of the circuit, his previous lap was a 31.7, the only man to do a 31 thus far in this race. Shannon two seconds behind in third place and Bugden is now less than a second behind Shannon after pulling away from Staring
  • 1552 - Jamie on the tail of Giles for the run down the straight but not quite close enough to get the tow and while the Yamaha and Honda are fairly even in top speed they are no match for the top end howl of that Yoshimura Suzuki
  • 1550 - Giles still up front  but Jamie has got past Shannon Johnson and is closing in, the difference 7-tenths of a second and still ten lap to run.  Bugden is up to fourth after battling with and passing Staring but Staring is not giving up easily and the two are tussling for position all the way around the Eastern Creek circuit
  • 1547 - Stauffer passes Staring at the end of the straight, Staring back alongside up the inside to turn two but Jamie holds on to it and looking to close on Shannon Johnson.
  • 1545 - Superbikes away now and Gilesy has the holeshot and immediately streaking away. Shannon Johnson running a Supersport tyre in this one after his slick couldn't hold up in race one to the punishment. Gilesy the early advantage though, Shannon second, Bryan Staring third just ahead of Stauffer
