Copyright 2004, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. Reigning Formula USA Sportbike Champion Scott Greenwood is riding in place of Christian Pistoni on the Corona Extra Suzuki team in this weekend’s AMA event at Road America. “I heard Tim (Saunders) was looking for a rider,” Greenwood told Roadracingworld.com. “I called him up Tuesday (June 1), on the way home from (the F-USA races at) Summit Point. He called me back Wednesday at work. We worked out a few sponsor conflicts. All the people I talked to said it wouldn’t be a problem. Tim said if I showed up I would have a bike to ride, and here I am.” Familiar with the Road America track but unfamiliar with 1000cc motorcycles, Greenwood got right up to speed and was 12th in the first Superstock practice at Road America, which pleased Corona Extra Suzuki team management. “I don’t think Christian was as high up as Scott was this morning the entire time he was here,” said Corona Extra Suzuki team principal Tim Saunders. “We’re having some contract problems with Christian’s management. They haven’t met some obligations with their part of the agreement. If he had been running up front it might not have been an issue, but that wasn’t the case. He may or may not come back.”
