2005 Canadian 600cc Sport Bike Champion Steve Crevier will ride a Buell Firebolt XB-RR for Trev Deeley Motorcycles in the Daytona 200 AMA Formula Xtreme race next month, replacing Pascal Picotte, according to a knowledgeable source. Two-time Canadian Superbike Champion Picotte had tentatively agreed to ride the controversial new Buell racebike in this year’s Daytona 200, pending the outcome of a test of the machine scheduled for this week at Texas World Speedway. However, Yamaha Canada, Picotte’s main sponsor over the last two years, did not like the idea of Picotte racing another brand, according to our source. Crevier is expected to test the new Buell this week in Texas. Last year, Crevier raced Hondas for Diablo Performance, a private team in Canada.
