Racedays Kawasaki rider Josh Elliott stormed qualifying in the STK 600 class of the Brno World Superbike round, posting the fastest times in all three sessions. A great start in the race saw him break away with championship leaders Jereme Guarnoni and Florian Marino with Josh leading for several laps. Unfortunately a loss of grip in the later stages of the race dropped him to 3rd place. With two laps to go Josh pushed hard, setting the second fastest lap of the race to close onto Marino's Honda, but a small mistake in the uphill chicane saw the young Northern Irishman thrown from his Kawasaki ZX6R with one lap to go. Although disappointed not to finish after such a strong showing, the team and Josh are very happy with his performance and are confident that Josh will be at the front for his home round at Silverstone in two weeks time.
