PS Squared Racing Welcomes Kaleb De Keyrel for MotoAmerica Stock 1000 at Circuit of The Americas
PS Squared Racing is set to take on the MotoAmerica Stock 1000 round at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) with championship-winning rider Kaleb De Keyrel aboard the Aprilia RSV4 1100. While Cory Ventura continues his recovery from injuries sustained in mid-season testing, the team remains focused on progress and building momentum for the final round of the season.
De Keyrel, the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Champion in the Aprilia RS660’s inaugural season, reunites with familiar faces in the paddock as he takes over riding duties for the RSV4 1100. The team enters the COTA weekend encouraged by major setup and performance strides made at the Mid-Ohio round with the help of Taylor Knapp, laying a strong foundation for De Keyrel to make an immediate impact.
Cory Ventura shared his feelings: “It’s tough to sit on the sidelines while the team is working so hard and the bike is showing so much potential. I’m bummed I can’t finish out the season but I’m genuinely excited to see the progress that’s been made with the RSV4. The guys have done an amazing job, and I’ll be cheering on Kaleb and the team at COTA.”
Taylor Knapp, who contributed to the bike’s development at Mid-Ohio, added: “I wish I could line up with the team this weekend, but prior commitments keep me away from racing at COTA. That said, the improvements we made at Mid-Ohio showed just how much potential this Aprilia and this program have. Kaleb and the team are both proven and I’m excited to see what they can achieve together.”
Gene Burcham, PS Squared Racing Team Manager: “It’s great to be working with Kaleb again. He brings speed, experience, and the right attitude to help us keep pushing the RSV4 forward. Brandon [Cole, Crew Chief] and I are both excited to see what we can accomplish together this weekend at COTA.”
With momentum building and a rider eager to prove himself on Aprilia’s premier platform, PS Squared Racing looks forward to competing at one of the most iconic racetracks in North America.
