Earlier today, AMA Pro Racing (a.k.a. Daytona Motorsports Group, or DMG) announced the latest and likely final version of its 2009 professional road racing class structure.

The announcement included a quote from AMA Pro Racing President Roger Edmondson that read, in part, “We were fortunate to have the assistance of many stakeholders in the creation of the program, including the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC).”

Asked to comment, MIC President Tim Buche told Roadracingworld.com, “I don’t have a comment at this time and will let what AMA has announced settle. I think a number of companies will respond to that, and those responses would determine any next steps MIC would make.

“Obviously the manufacturers have something they can now consider, and once they’ve made their determinations that would set any course of action for us going forward.”
