Very Nice Detailed Story of Kings of Wanneroo 2009 in Australia

The Kings of Waneroo has seen a great deal of press in the U.K. and it is not wonder. Some of the best racers from there, Ireland and Australia all got together for a one weekend racing series for the second time. It went very well as many spectators attended just to see some of the greats which don't get Down Under all that often. As we now know Jonathan Rea won the overall event for 2009. The real question asked here, though, is if there will be another one in 2010.

Well, I have yet to find a decent article on the results of the Kings of Wanneroo event in Australia this weekend, so I am posting a link to a forum where there are some photos and the announcement that Jonathan Rea has put Shannon Johnson in his place by taking the event's overall win. If I get more, I will post it!

Shannon Johnson Tops Kings of Wanneroo Practice in Australia

Aussie and KTM rider Johnson took the top spot in practice with his RC8R by lapping a full half-second ahead of the rest of the field. In second is British rider Jonathan Rea, with Australian Cameron Keevers leading U.K. rider Jeremy McWilliams in fourth. Rea was a bit worried as his race bike only arrived at the Perth track just before the practice started. This is only the first outing for the amazing assortment of some of the world's best riders, so we only have a bit of a clue as to what will happen during the rest of the weekend.

A huge list of U.K. racers are heading off to Australia for the Kings of Wanneroo race. Alastair Seeley, Ian Lougher, Conor Cummins, Keith Amor, Ryan Farquhar have already left and are flying there now. Jonathan Rea, Jeremy McWilliams, Andrew Pitt, Guy Martin, and Simon Andrews will all be at the Barbagallo Circuit shortly after the other group. It will be an all-star event for the Perth crowd. I certainly hope someone televises it since I cannot travel there...
