Bridewell is shaping a move onto the main straight but Irwin holds firm out front.
Ryde and OMG Yamaha team-mate Ryan Vickers are starting to close in but will they have enough time to catch the Ducati pair?

How on earth do you play this if you are Bridewell? Attack and risk a crash, or play it safe and leave yourself with a bit more work to do in the final race?

O'Halloran has the bit between his teeth here and is on Irwin's wheel as he crosses the line.

Bridewell thinks about a move on Ryde into Paddock but Ryde slams the door shut.
The Ducati man thinks better of it. He thinks he'll have a better chance later down the line.

Christain Iddon and Leon Haslam has dropped off slightly but if these four start scrapping then they'll be right there!
