We are very sorry to have to announce the death of Anthony Gobert, a rider and man as loved in SBK and 500 as he was in difficulty during his final years. Anthony’s passing follows a period of hospitalisation, with his mother Suzanne confirming his death on social media earlier today, a post that has since been shared by Anthony’s brother Aaron. Our thoughts are with the family at this time.

Anthony Gobert, 1975-2024

His mother’s words are published here below. Those who knew Anthony will all agree on one thing, as Suzanne says: "He always had a kind heart and cared for everyone. I am so proud of him”.

Gobert, 48, was born on 5 March 1975. Throughout his career, a professional path that saw a series of highs and lows, the common consensus was that he was: "A true natural talent, phenomenal in his riding skill and instinct. Riders like him are rarely seen in Australia, or anywhere in the world in fact".
