The nine times Champion Brooke Tatnell return with the Kirrke Team and will be looking for that 10th Championship .After solid 5th last week end at Warnambool Tatnell the US based Australian will carry the memory of team Principal Shane Krikke with him as he suits up for each round of the Championship .The W2 is looking sharp and fast.
