Glenn Scott has hailed his return to the Yamaha Motor Finance Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) as a success after finishing up 11th overall at Hidden Valley’s fourth stop in Darwin.

The former international, who’s overcome an ongoing leg injury in the past nine months, qualified 12th fastest before lodging a 10-13 scorecard aboard his privateer GSR Kawasaki ZX-10R.

“To start the season with a top 10 finish was a great achievement for me and my team,” Scott declared. “My crew worked very hard all weekend to give me the best bike possible, to help me through the hot 18-lap race. Race two saw me start even stronger then race one, however an unexpected bump from the rear in turn six on lap one forced me wide and tested my dirt bike skills.

“I rejoined the race last with six seconds separating me and the next rider, I knew it was going to be a tough race from then, however, I fought hard and managed to crawl back to finish 13th.”

“I’m absolutely wrapped with my first round back in the ASBK championship. To finish both races in the points is a great achievement for GSR Kawasaki. We learnt our strengths and weaknesses and I look forward to developing and building slowly over the remaining rounds to prepare ourselves for Morgan Park and beyond.”

Scott will return to action on 17-19 August when the ASBK series recommences at Morgan Park in Queensland.
