New European Superstock 600 champion Gino Rea flies to Hong Kong this weekend to compete in the Asia Road Racing Championship in the Supersport 600s, which is the main class in the series.

The FIM Asia Road Racing Championship is Asia's premiere motorcycle road racing championship.

It is the only motorcycle championship to span the Asian continent, moving from Malaysia, to the Philippines, to China, and Indonesia. It is also the only championship to run a premiere 4-stroke category, the SuperSports 600cc class.

Gino, who will fly out with Andrew Stone, said: “We go to Hong Kong on Sunday to race in the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC).

“It is going to be a exciting trip and we are going there to win. Im looking forward to working with Andy again, who I worked with in 2008 when I finished the European Superstock 600c in third position.

“When we get back, Andy has arranged a World Supersport test, so that is another exciting trip to look forward to.”
