Gobert to race Valencia SBK, Spanish championship.

Wednesday, 1st March 2006

Former 500GP and WSBK star Anthony Gobert is planning to break into the World Supersport top five at his home Phillip Island round this weekend - before stepping onto a Suzuki World Superbike machine for the following Valencia round and then heading for the Spanish championship.

"Anyway, I'd had enough of it and had a year away, but then I decided I love bikes so I got back into it and did the Australian championship last year - and was going to do it again this year - and then all of a suddenly I got a ring from the Spanish Suzuki team about a month ago, was really excited about that, and then got the phone call (from Yamaha GMT 94) to come to Qatar (in place of the injured David Checa).

"It's just sort of all happened for me in the last month and so yeah, I'm really happy," smiled 'The Go Show', a winner of eight WSBK races between 1994 and 2000.

The full interview with Gobert can be found on the Crash.net Radio archive...
