Kawerau’s Tony Rees partnered by Auckland’s Paul Gee and Australian Graeme Morris, finished second overall and first in the Pro-Superbike Class in yesterday’s Australian 6 Hour at Eastern Creek, outside Sydney.

The team had qualified the Bikebiz Pro-Superbike Yamaha R1 fastest on Saturday, with a 1m 35.18 sec lap.

The race was won by Warwick Nowland and Mark Willis on a Suzuki GSXR 750 by two laps (211 laps). Third was Martin Atlee with Michael Dowson and Geoff Hill on another Yamaha R1, two laps (207laps) further behind.

“Everything went well, especially the pit stops, unfortunately we were just not fast enough,” said Rees
