Anthony Gobert’s WorldSBK and 500GP career in pictures

While Gobert’s off-t𝔍rack demons came to dominaﷺte the headlines, the Go Show’s raw two-wheeled talent was undisputed.
The Australian claimed 8 victories and 16 podiums from 57 WorldSBK starts between 1994-2000, as well as making 500GP ap✨pearances for Lucky Strike Suzuki, MuZ and Team Roberts and competing at the front of AMA Superbike.
Sadly, Gobert's family announced on Wednesday that the 48-year-old has 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:passed awayꦰ, after receiving palliative care in Australia.
1994:
Gobert made his WorldSBK debut as a teenager, on a Honda, at Sugo in♌ 1994, finishing eighth and sixth. The 19-yearඣ-old then returned for his home Phillip Island finale with Kawasaki, where he took pole, a podium in race one and then a dream victory in race two. It made Gobert the youngest WorldSBK race winner.

1995:
1995 was to be the Go Shꩲow’s only 'full' WorldSBK campaign. He finished fourth overall for Muzzy Kawasaki - behind only Carl Fogarty, Troy Corser and Aaron Slight - with six podiums, including two victories, in a championship top ten dominated by Ducati and Honda riders.

2000:
Gobert planned a full-time World Superbike return in 2000, with Bimota, celebrating what would be his final WorldSBK victory in changeable conditions during round two at Phillip Island. But the team collapsed mid-season due to financial iss𝄹ues with rumoured Levi money (hence the #501) having never materialised.
Gobert later made several BSB appearances for Yamaha plus a final 500GP♌ ride with Team Roberts at Donington Park, finishing 15th 🍰on the Modenas machine.

2006:
After returning to the AMA and later Australian Superbike series, Gobert’s final world chamꦡpionship appearances came as a w𒆙ild-card in World Supersport at the start of 2006. A Valencia WorldSBK outing was abandoned after he aggravated an old injury in practice.
