| 19-03-2012 at 09:00: Pickering Throws a Leg Over | |
|
Josh is in training for the 2012 Asia Dream Cup where he will ride alongside fellow Aussie and ASBK Supersport competitor Josh Hook on Honda’s CBR250R. Excited that his debut into road racing was so successful, Josh said “I was a little nervous at the beginning hoping that I would pick it up quickly, but right from the start I really enjoyed it. The fast speeds and the slow corners were particularly exciting and I can’t wait for the next training session.” After qualifying at 1min 29sec, the young Aussie said he concentrated his efforts on handling the CBR250R to pick up speed and shaved his time down to 1min 27sec which has become the production 250cc lap record at the South Australian circuit. With previous experience in off-road racing in Australia, Josh has claimed many podiums including the Australian Junior Dirt Track Championship title in 2009 (U13) and 2010 (U16). The Asia Dream Cup will be held as part of PETRONAS Asian Road Racing Championship and will see all riders competing on Honda’s popular CBR250R. Official testing for the Asia Dream Cup will kick off in Sepang in early April followed by round one of the 2012 series shortly after on May 13. |
Young up and coming Honda rider, Josh Pickering, has thrown his leg over a Honda CBR250R for the very first time. The 15 year old said it took a few laps to feel comfortable on the production 250cc allowing him to work on his lap time at Mac Park in South Australia last weekend.^ Back to top ^
