No such problems in 2022 down to Melbourne for the last time it’s the big stop at the right-hander then he’s down to goddards for the last time the big stop at the Leander as James has already said it’ll be his first long race win look how he’s looking around it’ll be
His second win in total way Jonathan Ray on the right hand side that it clows in the Middle top R ratti glue on the left and look at Bautista charging up but he’s crowded out just like seni was crowded out in 93 top rck takes the lead
Top rack from third on the grid into the lead up ahead of Jonathan Ray big rear slide there from Alex CL and look at the aggressive nature the body language of Jonathan Rays they plunged down through the criners but it’s a fantastic start from batia and Jonathan Ray has a look a
Cheeky look up the inside down through the old hairpin on the opening lap of 23 here at Donington top rack leads and there’s a Honda looking really RAC it got it wrong there that was Leona fighting with Michael Renaldi it’s top rack Ray lows Batista good star and
Maxel basani bares three behind gof and move up into eighth position this is Copus where Jonathan Ray crashed last year now let’s see because this is a heaven sent opportunity for Batista on the straight to attack the cow is top rack almost on the grass James yeah
Jonathan R around the outside I don’t think that’s going to work on that both of the Riders wheels off they’re going to get through the chicane here oh incredible stuff there Jonathan thought about going around the outside and that’s left a gap alexos to come around the outside of Jonathan and Batista is
Going to take advantage to take both of them the cow saac is almost touched taster and look at the Honda of Lea Ronald’s in there reading’s in there reading did not make a good start despite the new clutch which we believe they’re running top rocks getting away
And this was not in the script for Kawasaki with the jaati up in second place they’re all over the place through Godard what a first lap that’s a gift for Bautista the Kawasaki coming together Jonathan was a little bit aggressive and thought he could go around the outside of top racking to fog
His SES that was never really going to work on lap one and it really upset that pace lost a couple of positions now but he’s going to have to resettle Alex Los is right behind Bautista but look at the Gap now that they’ve got a club back on
Top rack down cran of Curves well nobody expected this Alex Lo has a look the old hair pin and he can afford to be aggressive with bti and Jonathan right behind well he said he ow a drink to Scott reading in qualifying he might ow one to his teammate now as well it’s
Going to be an expensive weekend for the six time world champion very handy lead for top R it’s almost a full second already through mlan look at the Honda there that is Leona it’s his first ever Donington part race is in fifth yeah brilliant start Corner as well first
Time here at Donington Park I know he’s had a bit of a test on a radik but this is absolutely outstanding on that HRC Honda just behind Jonathan Ray there started seventh he was up to fourth or fifth on the first couple of Corners brilliant stuff so we’re on board with
Jonathan Ray now we’re in fourth place oh bit of a wobble on the FR and left right through the SES Now watch how Batista pulls away as they come over the crest down towards the Mel how great is it to see Alex lows up in second place
Top rack has a moment on the front Ray on Batista in lines there and he’s still behind him but don’t forget the Honda with Laona just behind him number seven has a very very similar horsepower advantage to the jati with Batista and he’s wide he’s wide but again Ray can’t
Take advantage is that different in line again isn’t it from Batista you can just see how the jaat is just struggling to stop into Melbourne Loop and Godard as Bautista looks under the underneath Alex Lowe’s that is a late move wonderful stuff from Bautista Alex is going to
Switch on the switch back into Hollywood is he going to get it no he’s pull out of that one this is absolutely phenomenal Batista has finished on the podium in all 12 races so far this season they plunged down through the crane has tra Jonathan takes Alex lo oh
He’s run wide he’s overcook it and how close to him is the Honda of a Laona oh he has a moment there Laona as he tries to fend off scott riding ah Jonathan Ray must be getting frustrated now to pull it mildly he started on pole so many
People were thinking he might disappear up the road like a scolded cap but no at the moment on lap three he is in fourth position yeah top rack is just sett into a pretty good Pace 27s already the top rack and that’s why bautist has found it
Difficult to claw that Gap back the anxiousness of of of Jonathan getting underneath his teammate down into The Hairpin just went slightly wide and when you go wide in that particular corner it really drops off adverse camber and you cannot open the throttle to get your drive around onak bridge and around
Swans but as top racks Yamaha protests on the rear a little bit but looks like oh lovely move from the six times world champion into Melbourne loop it’s te had to give him space there Jonathan Ray muscles his way back in front of Alex loe’s then top rack Batista Ray I think
We’ve said that before Lowe’s now dropping into the clutches if he’s not careful of Leona and reading and basani Scott reading though how frustrating is that to lose places off the line again this season on a BMW ronaldi is eth geroff has dropped a position to ninth
Locatelli is 10th where is Taz McKenzie where he started in 12th position Peter Hickman is 23rd so also where he started on the grid yeah great result from T so far to be in 12 to hold that grid position because he was on a qualifier he would have held his breath for that
One lap with the lack of experience he’s got on the electronics and this bike it’s a very different situation on a full fuel tank with these Electronics to stay in that position so fair play to him it’s going to be a really tough race for him but Tas mcken is going to learn
So much with these race laps to against these guys it’s going to bode well for the next two Races okay let’s take stock this is lap four of 23 in a frenetic already race one here at Donington Park for round five of this year’s World Super bite Championship round five of 12 race 13 of 36 through the fog yeses Jonathan Ray lows Lona here Scott reading started
Fourth on the grid he was one of four riders in super poow earlier today to go quicker than the previous lap record of Tom syes 5 years earlier and now Batista is definitely holding up Jonathan Ray but catching is one thing passing quite another way is he going to be able to do
It James yeah Jonathan is just getting a good nice and comfortable behind Bautista look at the corner speed that the Kawasaki’s got round Melbourne Loop and gards like we said bautistas really find it difficult to really uh carry that corner speed through he’s having to
Square it off and now you can see how much ground look Jonathan pick look at that how he closes in a little bit less on this fast flowing part of Donan Park Hollywood cran URS but on the second part where it’s really heavy breaking stop start is losing at least a back
Length so Jonathan he does have to get past though because top rack has got a 1.1 second lead still and how it’s doesn’t matter what track you go to does it Greg doesn’t matter what conditions you throw it it’s been these three guys and look they are starting to pull away
From the rest of them once again yes they most certainly are and Alex Lo looks as though he’s trying to pull away from Scott reading as well but reading then has mused his way just a few seconds ago unseen by us ahead of the Honda of EA and up into fifth position
Now surely Ray won’t be able to attack btia down the unlock straight into the foggy yes is he gets an excellent exit as he always does but there’s the horsepower Advantage with lightweight Batista on board Batista is about 53 kilos top out the rest of maybe six he’s
Over oh my goodness that was Batista’s mistake initially and it catches out Jonathan Ray what a savey Jonathan nearly ended up with the crowd on the outside of the circuit there coming out of foggies he knows that the jaati just pulls that Gap like you say down that
Back straight Greg but when he comes out of that fog his ess’s I think the corner speed that Jonathan’s got look at the who here really really closes into the back of that jaati if he he was trying to get the momentum through foggies get
The momentum up the hill and try and put a pass on him into Melbourne Loop but he just got a bit too eager on the throttle yeah PTI to would take this Jonathan Ray of course knows he can still win this race on the previous lap not the one
I’ve just finished the one before Ray did set the fastest half of the race so far top braack second fastest now what’s Bautista’s moment and then the result for Jonathan Ray this is a moment on the curb big handful just as he drops off the curb and the rear comes around but
It doesn’t face him one bit comes back up doesn’t really leave leave the foot p with his foot which is always a good sign and his head was straight back on the tank for another go at it brilliant stuff amazing and that’s the advantage the loss of momentum for the green bike
And number 19 will saying thank you very much but you know he’ll attack him again there’s just two10 of a second between them as his crew chief on the right hand side per Reba watches on that is what a lead of nearly 2 seconds looks like on lap six of
23i sorry now no see if we can judge it a bit better he’s got a bit of a gap now he up with Bautista now Jonathan’s going to run through the chicane a lot better now cuz he’s got the Gap he’s going to have less pressure to get on the
Throttle is this going to give him a chance now to get underneath at Melbourne lope is he close enough I don’t think he is this is difficult now because the advantages oh Jo yeah Scott reading underneath Alex yeah sorry to cut in that was reading and took
Advantage of Lo’s lost the momentum out of the S’s and reading then he’s back up to where he started in fourth place let’s see what sort of lap time Scott can put in now can he actually catch these two bad continues to hold him up
He I think he’ll catch them did you see Jonathan Ray’s front tire nearly kissed the back tire of Bautista in the shot then if we might get a a replay that as well into Red Gate on the brakes on that you got new bits of TAC around here at
Donan Bautista slightly widen M Corner that’s why he’s struggling as Bautista goes into the corner oh down enough and have the confidence on the front end of that Gatti and that Kawasaki is all over him but Bautista is good around Donington where it’s easiest to pass out
Of Copus into foggies out of foggies into mbour Loop and then Godard that’s where the jati just pulls so it’s going to have to be maybe into the mlan here on the switch back on there oh no not close enough it’s going to I tell you
What it’s going to take some real timing from Jonathan to get past that jatti in front of him yeah it is tough tough tough to pass isn’t it here at Donington Park we said how important the first that was going to be and it really was
But nobody expected this is pan out and Batista there oh spinning up the rear as he comes out of Copus well Ray won’t Panic of course he knows there’s a long way still to go in this race he knows he can can catch top rack if he can clear
Batista but how much harder is Ray having to push on his rear TI I wonder than top rack at this moment how long is it going to take to clear this jati this is an opportunity on lap seven he goes through can he duck back underneath him
On the exit yes he can and Ray has to give him room Batista almost rides him out to the curb on the outside okay there’s your first change but it didn’t last very long remember 2012 be W’s oh they’re almost making contact he’ll come back underneath him he won’t be having
That and Batista now with the straight line speed advantage will come up alongside him as they pass the pit will look at the difference but of course Batista is going to come back at in there oh this is aggression with a capital from both of them brilliant
Stuff it’s going to be a block pass though isn’t it with Jonathan if he loses the gap on the exit of these Corners he has to then block past him mid Corner if he’s coming back from quite a distance and that’s what Jonathan’s getting a bit frustrated with
And while they’re doing this it’s in playing in top rack’s hands and he’s starting to pull away oh that’s Mardo again on the floor really really difficult weekend so far I think that’s the third or fourth crash or technical he’s had all weekend so far look at this
Top rack now over two seconds grass he clipped the grass the CL he’s ripped up the T that was oh he’s pushing so hard Jonathan’s getting really frustrated Now brti is really holding him up but look at this as the jatti gets onto this straight pulls about four or five B lens
And it makes it impossible for foggy s’s overtake now Jonathan Ray has to time this perfectly do here to get the exit like he’s trying to but again look at how it just stretches out enough is that going to be close enough again for Jonathan yeah no it’s not and all the
Time top rack’s pulling away oh here he comes up the inside on the exit and they almost make contact yet again and this is as close as you like at Donington as we come through to the start of the ninth of 23 laps as you can see at the
Top of the screen there will be 15 to go and again he runs wide again Rose back up the inside and this time he’s made it stick but let’s see what the zatti can do with the straight line speed of Advantage I don’t think he’s close
Enough or am I about to be proven wrong no Ray’s got it barring any errors Ray’s got second place can Bautista fight back or can Ray close in on top back Ras gtia who’s two and a half seconds now up the road with 15 laps to Go old happen up towards the Leander at staries and then it’s Schwan what sort of lap times is reading doing 1279 yes he was quicker than Bautista last time around of course Bautista has been fighting hard though with Ray James just talk us through this yeah this is a
Replay again Bautista struggling to stop that V4 jati on the way in look and it just he can’t turn in he’s having to go straight for so long and then his Corner speed so little compared to the Kawasaki and Jonathan knows exactly he’s seen that for the last three or four laps and
He took advantage of it massively now Jonathan’s got to get his fishing rod out look at the speed of again down the street but that’s going to be no chance with that how late Jonathan was into fog his s’s Jonathan needs to get his
Pishing Rod out on the back of the R1 a top rack and try and Claw that Gap back In we watched them around the Melbourne Loop of course with Ray having just passed Batista what Batista has managed to do but even if he doesn’t at the moment he would only lose four points to Jonathan Ray in this race 20 versus 16 and Bautista I’m sure would take that he
Knew this was going to be a difficult weekend remember also Kawasaki if it stays like this will clinch their 500th World Super B Podium and jaati would move up to 999 this is Reading in the meantime and Alex loow there 2 seconds behind the dicing Ray and Batista and
Then you’ve got another Gap there of a second back to Laona who’s now been caught by basani and I noticed in the background earlier in the race on the first or second lap bani bullied it up the inside of gof when he’s seventh now ronaldi down in eighth then it is girl
Off and lock telli shout out for McKenzie Still in 12 holding that position he wouldn’t have have known really from the qualifying from the race where I like I say with the race Tire now that they’ve all got the same race Tire with a full fuel outstanding
Performance from him he he needed to kind of get this kind of performance to show off BB to show off that number one plate that he did so deserved last year and he needed to get close to that top 10 to get on any kind of contracts here
In World Super bikes and he’s doing exactly what he needed to do now look at Batista behind Jonathan Ray he was so close to him through cop his corner I have to say I was expecting Ray to start to pull away here but Batista making his
Life oh so difficult yeah I think as we saw with misano and the round before the jaati after a half Race distance looks after its rear TIR so so well and I think maybe just behind Jonathan he might just be able to get into a rhythm because remember it’s been a Hond has
Been on for the last couple of years uh here at Donington Park so this is the first time really for a long time he’s been on the jaati and it seems to be just settling down for him so retirement so far if you’re just switching on only
Tatti Mardo who as you said James has had a handful of technical problems and now crash in this race who can blame him how do you know where the limit is when he’s had so many problems and lost so much laery across this race weekend so
Far have a second on that lap these two unless reading can do something amazing might catch him look at basani’s charge though in the final stages of this race is already at five positions can he make it six yeah fair play to bani really really strong ride taking five positions
Uh going through the pack starting 10th and now is fifth that is really really strong and to have a factory jatti behind you after such a successful test from ronaldi that is really impressive stuff again shout out for Lona still in the top eight in seventh go off baz
Another BW obviously with the cic he had that crash in qualifying that really hindered his qualifying position Lo tell having a really difficult disappointing weekend he crashed in on Friday morning and that’s really hindered his momentum as but again McKenzie where is he’s down in 14th Place only lost two position so
Far from his good position I’ve been watching him he’s been 12th for most of the race Luka meas went through a couple laps ago vi just him but remember VI had a really nasty accident well had been until that point a really good weekend at misano when he had contact with
Basani and had to ditch the bike at cavone it was a big big accident for chavy Vi but now Garett gof attacks the Honda yeah one lap to go as he crosses the line what a performance it’s been from the Turkish world champion Andre dosy watching on this is the first full
Race Victory I don’t want to speak too soon on commentary as we know it can usually cause a bit of an issue or two it over Hollywood absolutely dominant performance from him and but he just looks like he’s really enjoying riding the bike the new electronics now on the
R1 for top rack it’s been a difficult start for Yamaha but it just looks like the old top rack and the old Yamaha Underneath Him is starting to Jael yeah it’s got a bit of a Jason oh Hower and BSB feel about it hasn’t it the fact
It’s now clicked and it’s all coming together and this is only race 13 of 36 in the 2022 season with Batista out of this race and it was all his own doing braas gatogo if it stays like this for another half L will reduce the Gap from
79 to 54 Ray will reduce the Gap from 36 26 top rat looks to the left remember what happened here on the final lap of race one last year he actually ran out of fuel on the run out of the Melbourne Loop or out of the s’s actually here let’s just
Listen no such problems in 2022 down to Melbourne for the last time it’s the big stop at the right-hander then he’s down to goddards for the last time the big stop at the Leander as James has already said it’ll be his first long race win look how he’s looking around it’ll be
His second win in total after the Sprint race at Bano five weeks ago and John Denning would have been very very proud indeed out of God Ras Gatti ogler he started third on the grid he’s seen off the Kawasaki Challenge and top rack wins race one at Donnington Jonathan Ray
After an incredible fight with Batista who crashed his second Lowe’s on the podium for the first time this year ridding look how close basani was but it’s still fourth for Scott reading then it’s basani and there’s G is second Lowe’s on the podium for the first time
This year reading look how close basani was but it’s still fourth for
