@Meligirl13 Big highside on first lap of warmup in rain... LOL. I'm that guy. Err girl. Started race 2 laps down.
@chazdavies Crashed out of the lead on lap 1. Little too aggressive on initial braking and down I went. Disapointed with myself and for the team.
@chazdavies BUT... @michaellaverty stuck her on the box (2nd) in SBK today so that just about makes up for my disapointment. :-)
@BenBostrom Got smoked today. Double M and Michael Laverty thru down! Prepare myself for a good fight 2moro. Met Eugene Laverty at Miller, cool bros.

Mat Mladin threw his podium hat away, and perhaps to cover it up Ben Bostrom threw his into the crowd. Then Michael Laverty got teased for not throwing his at all. Considering he put a newly built bike on the podium on its first time out, second only to Mat Mladin no less, he probably will probably be tossing hats soon enough.As already stated in the Twitter updates, both Neil Hodgson and Geoff May jumped the start with May getting disqualified for failing to serve the ride-through penalty and Josh Hayes DNF'd. Aaron Gobert also crashed.
Welcome back Doug Polen.

Lost count of how many crashes, including the Transformers liveried Aprilia of Ben Thompson. The race featured two pace car periods and ended wth a two-lap sprint to the finish. Chris Peris seems to be having an interesting weekend so far with qualifying 3rd in Superpole, getting disqualified from that position, building a 20+ second lead in the race (on spec fuel this time), having the lead wiped out by the 2nd safety car session, then still winning the race by 7.566 seconds, and capped off with a phonecall from his dad while in the winner's circle. Tomorrow is another day.
