Taree road racer Josh Hook has finished 18th fastest in the first qualifying session for the Supersport World Championship, despite uncertainty whether he would race at all.
The 20-year-old high-sided during practice this morning, all-but-destroying his bike.
“I’m a bit beaten up. I’ve got a sore elbow and hip and a bit beaten I suppose and the bike’s pretty much ruined.”
A team at Honda were able to build a spare bike in just two hours for the race.
Hook will compete in the superpole tomorrow, ahead of the main race on Sunday.
