Kev Cog😼hlan has been crowned the 2009 Spanish Supersport champion after wrapping up the title at the penultimate round of the s𒊎eason at Jerez.

The Briton, who raced five events for Holiday Gym Yamaha in the latter half of the 2009 World Supersport season, clinched the championship with a run♒ to fourth position at Jerez, putting him out of reach of his rivals with one round remaining at Valencia.

The title was decided as early as the second lap when Ivan Moreno, the only rider capable of overhauling Cog🅠hlan, was forced to retire.
