Dunlop Shod Riders dominate 2009 Australian Superbike Championship

DUNLOP TYRES AND THE AUSTRALIAN SUPERBIKES CELEBRATED THE END OF ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SEASON ON NOVEMBER 29 AFTER THE FINAL ROUND OF THE 2009 WOODSTOCK AUSTRALIAN SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIPS AT PHILLIP ISLAND.

The 2009 Championship saw the top 10 positions of the premier Superbike category filled by Dunlop shod riders and teams, with the overall winner being Team Joe Rocket Suzuki pilot Josh Waters.

Waters had entered the final round two points adrift of defending champion, Team Oleon Oils Motologic Honda rider Glenn Allerton, but claimed the number one plate after victories in both races of the winner-take-all finale.

“Dunlop would like to congratulate Josh and Team Joe Rocket Suzuki on the brilliant victory in the 2009 Woodstock Australian Superbike Championship,” said Dunlop’s Motorcycle & Motorsports Manager Ken Wieden.

“With hotly contested racing, thrilling finishes and a grand stand finale, we at Dunlop are extremely proud of our contribution to Australian Superbike racing and the brilliant season we have just had.”

“In addition to being on all of the top 10 positions in Superbike category, Dunlop shod riders also filled the top 10 stops in the other two open tyre categories, 600 Supersport and 125GP.”

“These results really highlight the performance of the Dunlop products in the motorcycle market.” Dunlop is now looking to the future, having recently been awarded the control tyre tender for the next three years for the Series.
