Next Gen Motorsports BMW’s Glenn Allerton in action at Phillip Island.

Next Gen Motorsports rider Glenn Allerton collected points in both races as a wildcard entry in round one of the World Superbike Championship last weekend.

Allerton acquitted himself well over the weekend, only missing Saturday’s Superpole by one place and finishing a credible 14th in race one.

In race two he manoeuvred himself into an authoritative position in the race following an earlier incident at MG Corner. Allerton finished in 12th position, in front of many regular WSBK riders.

Allerton was both excited and delighted by the performance on the weekend.

“This weekend has been an awesome experience, every rider’s dream is to compete against the best in the world,” he said. “So much preparation has gone into this weekend and I’m enormously proud of our team’s achievements.

“To earn world championship points was fantastic.”

General manager, BMW Motorrad Australia, Tony Sesto, was also delighted with the result.

“Glenn and the Dynotech Maxima BMW Team are to be congratulated on the weekend,” Sesto said. “It was a fantastic achievement to race against the best and gain world championship points.

“The HP4 is a fantastic motorcycle and I am looking forward to the Australian Superbike season where Glenn’s immense riding talent will showcase the bike’s potential.”
