At the start of the Sup erbike ma in, it was Wilke who pushed his Team Calama ri Yama ha to the front , hotly pursued by Bob Vizcarra, Joe Abeyta , Mike Wiggins and Curtis Robe rts . As the first lap was completed , the order su ddenly changed; Abeyta lost the front end exiting tum three and crashed. This gave the leading du o of Wilke a nd Vizcarra a bout a two-second lead over Roberts a nd Jerry Johnson, who had taken advan tage of Abe yta 's fall to take over the fifth spot. With the lead ers ma king a brea kaway at the front, the batt le for third really hea ted up as Wiggens and Rober ts passed and repassed each other at every opportunity aroun d the 13-tum course. Further back, Abe yta wa s clawing h is way back from his crash, and had closed in on Johnson by lap seven. As th ey s ta rte d th e las t lap, th e leaders began to encounter backmarke rs at the tum one carousel, wi th Wilke, Vizcarra and Wiggens getting thr ough clea nly, bu t Robert s got trapped behind a slo we r rid er entering turns tw o and th ree, an d he lost nea rly five b ike leng th s to Wiggens heading up the hill to tum five. As the lea d e rs roun d ed tum 12 a nd head ed fo r the sta rt/ fin ish, it wa s a surpris ed Wiggens who suddenly had a cha r gi ng Roberts brea th in g do wn his back . Roberts, w ho had literall y plummeted d own the corkscrew, had closed the ga p on Wiggens and was selling up for a draft pa ss d own the long front straigh t. But it was not to be - h e came up just a few inches sho rt at the line. At the finish it was Wilke notchin g his first win o f the y ea r, followed by Vizc a rra, Wiggens, Roberts and Abeyta, who got aro un d Johnson on the last lap to take fifth.
