Tyler O’Hara earned pole position during MotoAmerica Mission King Of The Baggers Qualifying Two (Q2) Friday afternoon at Circuit of The Americas (COTA), in Austin, Texas.

On board his S&S Indian Challenger, O’Hara turned a lap time of 2:15.029 around the 3.4-mile (5.5 km) road course. That time was not only good enough to top the field of 12 riders and earn pole position, it also broke Kyle Wyman’s 2023 All-Time Lap Record of 2:15.461.

Wyman was the best of the rest with a 2:15.085 on his Harley-Davidson Factory Racing Road Glide.

O’Hara’s new teammate Troy Herfoss claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a best lap of 2:15.576.
