HOOK TO COMPETE IN SUPERSPORT CHAMPIONSHIP
Taree road racer Josh Hook has secured a wildcard ride in this weekend’s Supersport World Championship at Phillip Island.
The 20-year-old faces a strong field of riders in the 21-lap race, but his team at Honda are confident he has what it takes to win the title.
Honda have also sent a specialist mechanical team from Japan to help build a new engine for Hook’s bike.
“It’s awesome you know and to have a good team and also Honda Japan over here to help us out. It’s a really good opportunity for sure so I’m pretty stoked.”
Hook will move back to a Superbike following this Sunday’s race, gearing up to compete in the Australian season.
