Josh Elliott has enjoyed a succesful test at Brno prior to the WSB STK 600 race. This was the first opportunity the young Northern Irish rider has had to experiment with the settings on his new Kawasaki ZX6R race bike and he was able to reach an optimal setup fairly quickly, assisted by his friend Gino Rea and technical ace Andy Stone. With transponder timing available Josh was pleased to be able to record times consistently in the low 2,07 seconds on worn tyres. Comfortably under last years fastest STK 600 times. The team and Josh are hopeful that this positive test will lead to success on race weekend.
Josh Elliott, acclaimed by the biking media as one of the most promising racing talents in the UK, will be competing in the 2010 World Superbike Championship's Superstock 600 series. Elliott, who has been racing since he was nine, astonished race followers after a series of stunning rides in the IDM Supersport championship last year. Josh scored points in the tough German series at only 14 years old and went on to became the youngest ever podium finisher in a national Supersport championship.
Riding again for the Racedays Honda team he is currently the only British rider entered into the WSBK Superstock classes.
