Congrats to Vermy for taking home the first win of the season for Ten Kate Honda!!! Race 1 was pretty rough for the boys with Vermuelen blowing an engine and Muggeridge getting shuffled back to 19th on the start. Muggers was able to claw back to 6th.

Fast forward to race two and it looked like Laconi was going to run away with it but Vermuelen slowly stalked him in the closing laps and passed him on the last lap for the win!!! First Honda win in top level bike racing this season (Formula Extreme doesn't count )!

Yeah that was a great race, Vermeulen did a great job and deserved the win.

 

Is Corser way ahead in the standings?

 

I saw the last part of race 2, man that was an intense race at the finish
