JD Beach was fastest during MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike Warm-Up at rainy Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. Riding his new Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR, Beach lapped the wet 2.55-mile circuit in 1:42.683 to lead the field of 23 riders.

Three-time and defending Champion Jake Gagne was second with a 1:42.941 on his Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha YZF-R1 in what he described as “gnarly” conditions.

Superbike rookie Sean Dylan Kelly continued to impress by posting the third-best time, a 1:43.087, on his TopPro Racing BMW M 1000 RR.

Battered and bruised from a post-race crash on Saturday, Loris Baz did one lap on his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R during the Warm-Up Sunday morning but did not record a lap time.

Richie Escalante, who made contact with Baz at the end of Race One and also crashed, is not expected to ride Sunday at Road Atlanta. His Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team is expected to issue a statement on the Mexican rider’s condition later today.
