Anthony Gobert heads the list of talented Australian riders competing at Sydney’s Eastern Creek Raceway Sunday August 27th in round 4 of the national Shell Advance Australian Superbike Championships.

Gobert returns to Australia with the folding of the Bimota Team to finish the season riding for Nick Meskos and the Advantage Honda Team aboard a Honda CBR 929 and will be competing in the Superbike class against current Championship leader, Ansett Airfreight Suzuki’s Shawn Giles and a field of over 40 of Australia’s best. Teenager Craig Coxhell riding for Radar’s Team Yamaha sits in 2nd position with Honda rider’s Adam Fergusson and Shannon Johnson holding down the minor placings.

Gobert became the youngest World Superbike race winner at 19 on his international debut at the end of 1994 on a Kawasaki ZXR750R and his stunning win in cold and wet conditions at this year’s Phillip Island World Superbike Championship round will still be fresh in everyone’s minds. He is sure to bring pressure to Giles’ domination in the Superbike events on Sunday.

Mobil Honda Team rider, Adam Fergusson holds a narrow lead of only 4 points over Yamaha’s Robbie Baird in the 600cc Supersport class with Newcastles Kevin Curtain (Yamaha) and Chad Turnbull (Kawasaki) in 3rd and 4th positions.

The 200 plus entry list for this round will see Australian Championship events for not only the Superbikes but also the 125 and 250GP’s, 250 Production, Supersports, Sidecars and Harley Sportsters.

An added feature of the event will be the return of the Legends, Robbie Phillis, Malcolm Campbell, Andrew Johnson and Dennis Neill head the list of 80’s Superbike stars of Australian road racing. They will take part in a guest appearance trackside during the lunch break. Spectators are welcome into the pit paddock area to meet their heros for autographs and view the latest range of motorcycles available in the trade area.

The weekends racing gets underway on Friday 25th with practice from 9am – 4.30pm, Saturday 26th qualifying for all classes 9am – 4.30pm with Sunday’s entertainment getting underway at 9am for warm-ups with the first race starting at 10.45am.

Troy Bayliss will attempt to duplicate his wining form this weekend at the Misano, Italy round of the Superbike World Championship. Troy was able to make up for his bad luck at the Sugo round by winning race one of the Hockenheim round. Bayliss will be joined by fellow Australians, Troy Corser and Peter Goddard in the Superbike class at Misano. Anthony Gobert will not be riding, or at least he won't be on a Bimota. MCNews.com.au reports that the Bimota team will sit out the next few races.

Paul Free is scheduled to test a Kawasaki British Superbike today in England. Paul had a prang in Hockenheim and had to sit out the Supersport race with a bad foot. The Italian Suzuki backed team replaced Paul with an Italian rider and the Italian will continue to ride for the team. This makes Suzuki in Italy happy. Since the message we received was by text on the mobile, we do not have all the details, but with Peter Goddard going to the Kawasaki World Superbike Team we are guessing that Paul may be testing for the seat left open by Goddard.
