This Just In from Australia:

Defending Champion and points leader Shawn Giles swept all three races of Round 3 of the 2001 Shell Australian Superbike Championships at Queensland Raceway Sunday, Australia time, on a Suzuki. Craig Coxhell, on a Radar’s Team Yamaha YZF-R1, finished second overall after placing second in each of the three Superbike Championship races

The opening 11-lap Superbike race saw Coxhell take the race lead from Giles on lap two before being re-passed by Giles on lap five. Coxhell continued to battle with Giles all the way to the flag, finishing behind by 0.28-second.

Races two and three saw Coxhell battling with the Bikebiz Yamaha pair of Tony Rees and Damien Cudlin, before getting the better hand of each to pull away and chase after Giles.
