Troy Herfoss will line up for the first three of sixteen races in the Australian Superbike Championship at round one in Phillip Island next weekend alongside Broc Pearson aboard a DesmoSport Ducati Panigale V4 R. The ride only becoming certain just a few hours ago thanks to the support of all our partners, but in particular ARC Reo, Supercar Advocates and Inox Lubricants.

Ben Henry: “We made no secret of wanting to have Troy race with us when he can, and we’ve been fortunate enough that our partners have come together to help us get him on the grid for round one before he heads back the US on Monday. I’ve had a great time with Troy and Charlie in our box during testing, and the result has seen Broc continue to gain confidence and speed as we get closer to the season opener. I’m really looking forward to getting to Phillip Island, it’s going to be competitive at the front!”

Troy Herfoss: “I’ve really enjoyed my time in the DesmoSport garage so far this year, and I’m grateful to have an opportunity to keep my eye in on a superbike next weekend. I really feel like Charlie and I have helped the team make some steps forward in having two bikes bringing data from testing and there’s no better way for myself to prepare for racing than to actually go racing. As soon as the weekend is over, I’ll basically head straight to the US to begin preparing for the season opener at Daytona, which I’m really excited for.”

The Australian Superbike Championship is set to fire back into life on February 23 to 25 alongside WorldSBK, with three races over the three-day schedule to open the 2024 season.
