00:21There's a reunited with legendary machines
00:53Welcome back to the Classic Bike Festival Ireland
00:56where we're almost ready for the Open Invitational
00:58but first, some more sights and sounds of yesteryear in the parades
01:38It's time now for the last race of the meeting
01:40featuring Superbike and Supersport Machines
01:47Time for some big bikes and time for some R6s and that one there
01:50Richard Cooper winning on the R9 in the 600 race a bit earlier on
01:53He's got to be one of the favourites, hasn't he?
01:55Yeah, open invitation, so bring what you like to this
01:58Those that have come out to play, not all of them have
02:00Johnny Campbell on pole, the gamey lines
02:02Richard Kerr, Richard Cooper and Storm Sacy
02:04due to be on the front row
02:05then Carl Phillips, Mike Brown, Lucas Brown and Adam Brown on row two
02:09Yeah, big field
02:10and like you quite rightly said, a lot not going out in this
02:13because it's the end of the day
02:14and they've had a long weekend
02:15they certainly have
02:16It's the driest patches here though as they set off from the line
02:18155, that's a quick machine
02:20Johnny Campbell, now he's on the BMW
02:21that's on the M1000, the RR machines
02:24that's the big bike
02:25Richard Cooper though on the R9, great start
02:27And 51, slotting into second was Richard Kerr
02:29Yeah, Richard on the Honda, the Honda Fireblade for Richard
02:32and he gets into that second place
02:3333, he went well a bit earlier on, didn't he?
02:36At number 33 there
02:36That's Adam Brown, the Dungana man
02:38Oh my word
02:39He's getting a bit racey, isn't he?
02:40Wow, how close was that?
02:4229, we can see the parking car transport machine of Lucas Brown
02:45Good to see those R6s out there
02:47Lucas Brown
02:48and he's got Adam Brown riding behind him
02:50Adam looks a class racer, doesn't he, on the shorts?
02:52He does
02:52Really, really impressive at this meeting
02:54Oh my word
02:55Oh, goodness me
02:57What has he done there?
02:58He's nearly rammed into the back of somebody
03:00Millimetres, millimetres he missed by
03:01Oh, he's nearly been clubbered
03:03I think he's got a problem
03:04It looks like 33 is going to be out
03:05Please, nobody hit him
03:06Goodness me, they all got past him, Chris
03:08That was scary
03:09That was close to going on the grass there, wasn't it?
03:11That's Marshall Neal on nine
03:12Yes
03:12Porter down, man
03:13He's into about third or fourth place at the moment
03:16Talking about you
03:17But I was nearly off my seat then
03:18That was incredible
03:19That was close
03:20On board with Lucas Brown
03:21He's on the 29 bike
03:22But the bigger bikes, obviously
03:23Will be able to show their mettle
03:25On the little short straights
03:26And this bit here
03:27The main straight here
03:28Of the Bishop's Court
03:291.824 mile circuit
03:31There is Adam Brown
03:31He, unfortunately, is going to be in retirement
03:33Such a shame for him in retirement
03:34At the end of the day
03:35Let's look at this moment again
03:36Let's have a little look
03:38So he starts breaking into the hairpin
03:39Now, nearly clubbers, I think that was 29
03:41He's nearly hit there
03:42Lucas Brown
03:43Goodness me, so, so tight
03:45Here's Richard Cooper then
03:46He's all
03:46See what I mean
03:47About the power
03:48With Johnny Campbell
03:48Blasted pass to the front
03:50Johnny Campbell then
03:51The Lisbon rider out to the front
03:53But Cooper's not giving this up
03:54Yeah, the BMW S1000RR machine
03:57Back on board then
03:58Richard Cooper
03:58He does make a good start
04:00Gets ahead of 51
04:00Gets ahead of 155
04:02But then on the fireblade
04:03The BMW come
04:04Here comes a fireblade
04:05Goes up the inside
04:06Does he make it stick?
04:07No, he doesn't
04:08Cooper led off the line there
04:09He dropped for the first time
04:10Into Broxon
04:11Head towards Ireland of Gore
04:12But the front lot
04:13Have kind of cleared off
04:14A bit, haven't he?
04:14These two stretch them right away
04:15They are from Marshall Neal
04:17There in third
04:18Yeah, he's fighting that front
04:19Of that machine
04:20Marshall was
04:20Made a little mistake there
04:21It's given time for 29
04:23Yeah, Lucas is riding well too
04:25Parking car transport machine
04:26As we said
04:27So it's Campbell in there
04:29Cooper's in there
04:29Brown, Neil Kerr, Burns
04:31Johnny Alnacos
04:32We've lost 33 on 14
04:33The other brown
04:34Being Adam Brown
04:35Now it's what
04:36Johnny Campbell can do
04:37At the front
04:37Can he hold off
04:38Richard Cooper
04:39Cooper's sitting there
04:40He's looking like
04:41He's got the right kind of pace
04:42But yeah, this battle for third
04:43Look how hard
04:44How committed they are
04:45Yeah, Marshall Neal
04:46On the third bike
04:47In the BPE by Russell Racing
04:49Stable, shall we say
04:50He's on the third machine
04:51There now
04:52And great to see Marshall
04:53Back racing again
04:53On the short circuit
04:54Haven't seen Marshall
04:55For a little while
04:56But back at the front
04:56155
04:57Johnny Campbell
04:58He's got that dancing
04:59Hasn't he
04:59Yeah, they're down into
05:00The high 111s here
05:02So they're really impressive
05:03Given the conditions
05:04Yeah, looking at the
05:05Superbike lap record
05:06Round here
05:07If I get to the right bit of paper
05:08And the massive bit of paper
05:10That we have in here
05:10It is of course
05:11Charlie Nesbitt
05:12That has that
05:12A 105
05:14So yeah, a little bit off that
05:15Yeah, Chris
05:15Looking at the conditions
05:16You can totally understand
05:17Why the commitment
05:18That we're seeing
05:19Given the conditions
05:20Is actually really impressive
05:21Yeah, some good racing
05:22In the event of course
05:23Put on by Philip McAllen
05:24And a lot of other people here
05:26The festival in Ireland
05:27Brilliant stuff
05:27There's a move
05:28That is, there he is
05:29Kerr again
05:30I think going up the inside
05:31And a position gained
05:32On the Honda
05:33Yeah, a little Honda
05:34Looks nice
05:35But back at the front
05:36That's what we want to see
05:36There we are
05:37And Campbell
05:38Oh, he's got
05:39Look at the rear wheel
05:40Spinning up on the whole thing
05:42Sideways
05:43That rear tyre is now
05:44Working too hard
05:45It's got too hot
05:46And it's just
05:47Not
05:47It's not cool enough
05:48It's got too hot
05:49And it starts moving around
05:5051 and 9
05:51They're having a good battle
05:52Aren't they?
05:52Yeah, Marshall Neal
05:53Is really sticking to the back
05:55Of Richard Kerr here
05:55Kerr made the move
05:56But he's not giving it
05:57Oh, and he's had a go
05:58Is Marshall Neal going to get through?
06:00I think he's made it work
06:01He has made it work
06:02This is the final part
06:03Of the circuit
06:04They're on there now
06:04Heading towards Ringwadi
06:06And then heading towards
06:07Dunsfort
06:07And then back past the start
06:09And finish line
06:10To complete another lap
06:11But at the front
06:11Johnny Campbell
06:12With a squirming BMW
06:13He's trying to hold off
06:15The class act
06:16That is, of course
06:16Richard Kerr
06:17And Marshall Neal
06:18Again, you can see
06:18Even on the R6 machine
06:20That he's on that rear tyre
06:21Just jumping up and down
06:23Oh, look at that
06:23He's just blasted past again
06:2551 and Richard Kerr
06:25He's got to do it all again
06:26Now as Marshall Neal
06:28Start over once again
06:29He's going to have a go already
06:30I think
06:31No, not too far away
06:32But that extra power
06:33Just gives you that
06:33But again, you can only go
06:34Around the corners
06:35The same sort of speed as these
06:36But the R6 will have
06:38A little bit more corner speed
06:39A bit more nimble
06:40And then just blitz you
06:41Down the straights
06:42And yeah, so one's got
06:43The advantage in the corners
06:44One's got the advantage
06:45Down the straights
06:46Well, at the front there
06:47I thought, you know
06:47Johnny Campbell
06:48Was checking out a little bit
06:49You can still see
06:50The damp patches
06:50As they go to the far side
06:52Who Deegan's a fairways one
06:53And fairways two
06:54Cooper
06:54You can just see him now
06:55Just squeezing that front brake
06:57On the rear tyre
06:57Just moving around a little bit
06:59Flicking to the left-hand side
07:01Straightening the bike up again
07:02And Marshall Neal
07:03Is right back on number 51
07:05Here we go again
07:07Terrific ding-dong
07:07These two are happy
07:08Is he going to find the opportunity
07:09To have a look somewhere?
07:11Yeah, we've got him
07:12Just going into this part
07:13Last lap
07:13He's done it again
07:14Exactly the same
07:15Oh, he's coming back in
07:16These two have a right battle here
07:1851 at 9
07:19Just get the power down
07:20On the last lap
07:21Down the main straight
07:22To take the position back
07:23See whether or not
07:24That happens again this time
07:25Or can Brown
07:25Find a more defensive line?
07:27Yeah, well
07:28We'll have to wait
07:28And see on that one
07:29Here we go
07:29So number 9
07:30He's going to
07:31So look
07:32He's about three or four
07:33Bite lengths
07:34This time
07:34Yeah
07:34Yeah, that's not going to matter
07:36Boom
07:37Straight away
07:37There you go
07:38Have a bit of that
07:38You must be like
07:39Oh, I tell you what
07:40He holds a really wide
07:41Oh, somebody down
07:43Not sure who that is
07:44We've got a rider down there
07:45At the moment
07:45So we'll find out
07:46Who that is in a minute
07:47He seems to be okay
07:48Just got a rider just down
07:49It's not one
07:50Oh, we had a red flag
07:51On this one
07:52Oh, that's a shame
07:53Hope the rider looks okay
07:54Jack Caldwell
07:55I think on the Kawasaki
07:57Yeah, he is all right
07:58On 2-8-2
07:59So Johnny Campbell
08:00Wins from Richard Cooper
08:01Then it's Lucas Brown
