While Gob💦ert’s off-track demons came to domin🥃ate the headlines, the Go Show’s raw two-wheeled talent was undisputed.

1994:
Gobert made his WorldSBK debut as a teenager, on♉ a Honda, at Sugo in 1994, finishing eighth and sixth. The 19-year-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.

2000:
Gobert planned a full-time World Superbike re꧟turn in 2000, with Bimota, celebrating what would be his final WorldSBK victory in changeable conditions during round🍰 two at Phillip Island.
