TROY HONOURED
Superbike World Champion Troy Corser was given the honour
of carrying the Queen’s Baton on a high speed ride round
Phillip Island circuit to kick off round two of this year’s
Superbike World Championship.
Aboard his Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra GSX-R1000
Troy lapped the 4.445km island track as dawn was breaking
over Bass Strait, hitting speeds of over 220 kph down the
main straight. He also did a series of wheelies at Siberia
and thrilled the media with several smoky burnouts as he held
the Baton high.
Corser’s leathers sponsor, Alpinestars, dressed the
world champion for the important occasion, making a special
set of white and green leathers that were an exact replica
of the uniform runners have worn throughout the Baton’s
Australian journey.
