Leading Australian Superbike Championship privateer Glenn Scott has put himself through what he describes as his toughest training schedule to date to ensure he is at his competitive best at Hidden Valley this weekend.

The 21-year-old heads to the ASBK’s penultimate round with a 30-point lead in the privateer rankings, and sits a solid sixth outright.

The Team InsureMyRide racer has worked with his trainer to adapt his fitness routine to specifically combat the extreme heat and sapping humidity riders have come to expect in the Northern Territory.

“This period between Sydney Motorsport Park and Darwin has been my toughest training schedule to date,” said Scott. “I have been working extremely hard on my fitness to help battle the heat and humidity at Hidden Valley Raceway.

“My training schedule put together by Stephen Mion consisted of cycle time trials, core strength and leg work.

“My fitness has never been better and I’m feeling confident in myself and the whole team moving in to round six after our podium at round five and the hard work in preparation we have put into me, the bikes and the team.”

Scott said the small outfit had been boosted by his sensational race podium at Sydney Motorsport Park and each member of the team had been working their hardest to keep the run of results going.

“Team IMR have been really busy in this month between races,” he said. “With an engine rebuild taking place on one of the bike and large amounts of organising to get everything to Darwin the whole team is so excited to get track side.

“I have been to Darwin the last two years on the 600 andI can’t wait to get there on there on my Fireblade.

“It will take some time to learn the track again but I’m sure we will find our feet fast. Every team only gets there once a year so it’s a nice level playing field for everyone.”
