Larsen used the blue groove onthe inside while Hamill went to cushion on the outside. Larsen exited turn two with a slightadvantage but Hamill found ample traction and had plenty of momentum as theyentered turn three. Both riders stuck totheir racing lines but Larsen drifted a little wide coming out of turn four totry to slow Hamill who was relentless and still tried to around the leader asthey went into turn one the second time. Larsen found a little more grip the second time down the back straightbut Hamill tried to sweep around the outside through turns three and fouragain. Larsen still led after two lapsso Hamill switched his assault to the inside, but couldn’t get past in turnsone and two. Larsen’s lead increasedthroughout lap three so Hamill tried the outside once more in turns one and twobut couldn’t gain any ground.
