'The Go Show' was more talented than Schwantz and Spencer and a "genuinely nice kid" but he was unable to defeat his addictions
Former Superbike and 500cc grand prix rider Anthony Gobert passed away today, following illnesses brought on by his addiction to alcohol and other drugs.
During his racing career Gobert shone brightly, brighter than just about any other rider of the last few decades, Valentino Rossi excepted. Like Rossi he had a rock-star persona and knew how to entertain beyond his racetrack performances. He was a hell of a lot of fun and he liked to get people excited. Fans adored him for that – hence his nickname 'The Go Show'...
