If you were a fan of GP and SBK in mid 90’s you may or may not be surprised to hear of Anthony Goberts passing today.
A really tragic story for someone with so much talent. The drugs surely don’t discriminate.
Having watched him during his glory days of racing this saddens me.
Remember when he showed up at Daytona with the Ducati team one year and couldn't really fit all that well into his leathers. The story I heard was that he wanted to see how fat he could be and still beat everyone. He was a talented rider for sure.
Getting to that time of life where the people I grew up with as well as people I watched while growing up are starting to pass away for many different reasons. Gives a person a different perspective on things for sure.

Some people say it was a waist of talent. It was who he was, he lived a life in the fast lane and was the Go Show. I don't think he would have been as fast if he lived any other way. Glad to have seen him race.

Sad for sure. I have pictures somewhere from the pits of Daytona of him on the Yamaha R7, and I’m pretty sure some with him and Tommy Hayden at one of the last races at Loudon, NH I think in the 00-01 seasons
