Andrea Bonezzi leads Contender Worlds

Marcus Hamilton 2006 Australian Contender Champion Sebastien Destremau
Multi Contender World Champion, Andrea Bonezzi of Italy, is taking no prisoners as he chases another World crown. After three races at Fremantle, Australia Bonezzi has a clean sheet.

Denied the Australian title earlier in the week, Bonezzi has started just as he did in that series - hopefully with a better conclusion.

Sticking close to him is Aussie champ, Marcus Hamilton, second to each of the Italians wins, and ready to pounce again. Tim Hall (AUS) is third.

The first placed Brit is Simon Mussell in seventh, then Dave Davies at eight.
