Dan Reardon has been crowned the 2007 Australian Motocross
Champion after the penultimate round of the series at The Lakes
track in Newcastle, New South Wales on the weekend.
Reardon piloted his KX450F to the championship by extending his
points lead out to 59 points in the Pro Open class and, with one
final round to go, has made KRT unbeatable in the title
race.
A second and third place finish on the weekend was enough to
seal the championship for Reardon, who finished runner-up in the
title last year and has gone one better this season.
With the final round at Coolum in Queensland next weekend,
Reardon is preparing to finish his last Australian round in peak
form before he makes his way to the US at the end of the
month to begin his dream of competing in the AMA.
“It is a fantastic result for Kawasaki and the great team of people
around me to wrap up the 2007 championship with one round still
to go,” said Reardon. “I can’t thank my family, personal sponsors
and support crew enough for putting so much effort into making
my dream of winning both the 2007 Australian Supercross and
Motocross titles a reality.”
“My goal for 2007 was to win both titles before going overseas to
race and we have achieved it. I can’t thank the guys at KRT and
the team sponsors enough for their support over the years and
for always giving me a fast, reliable bike to ride. Not once this
year has my bike missed a beat in racing which is evidence that
the product and team just work great.”
“Wrapping the championship up with one round still to go is an
awesome effort by everyone involved in the team and we will be
out there to continue our domination, whilst having a bit of fun,
next weekend at Coolum. I really enjoy racing on that track and I
intend on going out there and riding the fi nal round event with as
much conviction as I have shown all season.”
