19-09-2012: Aussie’s Dream Victory

Aussie young gun Josh Hook has taken victory in race two at round four of the Asia Dream Cup earlier this month at Autopolis Circuit in Japan.

The ASBK Supersport rider started the weekend well, ranking first and then second in the two free practice sessions respectively. Qualifying in fourth, it wasn’t until race two when Hook was able to really shine, racing an almost perfect race to take the victory.

“The race was really tough with a lot of slipstreaming and jostling”, said Hook from Japan.

“I tried to stay out of the heavy battling up in front and I just concentrated trying to stay in the lead. Victory had eluded me all season long so far, with a bit of bad luck here and there, so I am really excited about this win today.”

Fellow Australian Josh Pickering rode consistently over the weekend taking an 8th and a 12th place finish in race one and two respectively. For Pickering the Asia Dream Cup is his first foray into road racing.

The Asia Dream Cup is held in conjunction with the PETRONAS Asia Road Racing Championships and sees all riders competing on Honda’s CBR250R. Round five will take place at Penbay International Circuit, Taiwan in mid-October.
