Gobert Motorsports rider Aaron Gobert claimed his first overall victory since returning to Australia in 2010 after a decorated career in the United States, winning the Supersport category at Eastern Creek’s third round of the Australian Formula Xtreme Championship on 2-4 July.

The 29-year-old former AMA Superstock 1000 Champion took a clean sweep of race victories in the Supersport class on Sunday in the Australian championship round, also claiming the FX Nationals win overall on Saturday.

It was a weekend of improvements for Gobert onboard his Yamaha Motor Australia-supported YZF-R6, the track time proving vital in the lead-up to the fourth round of the Australian Superbike Championship in Queensland next month.

“I’m happy to get this victory and continue our improvements as the season progresses,” Gobert commented. “It’s been a lot of work to form our own team with the support of Yamaha in 2010, so it’s great that all the hard work is starting to be rewarded.

“The development of the team’s R6s is coming along and we had Marty Ashmore, one of my former AMA guys from when I was on the factory Aprilia team last year, over for the weekend to assist with that. We saw a lot of improvements so now I look forward to moving on to the ASBK round at Queensland and continuing with the momentum that we have.”

The ASBK Supersport series will continue at Queensland Raceway on 19-22 August.
