Honda-mounted Brookes takes supers

Honda-mounted Josh Brookes fulfilled a dream by taking out a double titles at Phillip Island and sealing up the national superbike and supersports championship as part of the deal

It was a close-run thing, though, with Suzuki rider Shawn Giles equalling Brookes on points and only having to relinquish the superbike title after a countback of the year's results.

"I knew I could do it (win the superbike title and the double)," Brookes said.

"I've known since I was a kid that I could do it.

"It was just a matter of the right year.

"It was going to happen last year but didn't (because of the broken pelvis)."
