MotoAmerica: Lee Switches From Kawasaki To Suzuki Superbike At Barber

Two-time MotoAmerica Stock 1000 Champion Andrew Lee was due to make his MotoAmerica HONOS Superbike debut this weekend at Barber Motorsports Park on a Superbike Unlimited Franklin Armory Racing Kawasaki ZX-10R.

Lee rode the bike during Friday’s two Superbike qualifying sessions and did well, recording the eighth-fastest lap time, 1:25.866, and earning his way into Superpole.

Saturday morning, however, word quickly spread through the paddock that Lee would no longer ride the Superbike Unlimited Franklin Armory Kawasaki ZX-10R but would continue on an ADR Motorsports Suzuki GSX-R1000R.

Asked about the situation, Lee told Roadracingworld.com, “Some things on the [Kawasaki] weren’t to [MotoAmerica Superbike] regulations. Luckily, David Anthony [ADR Motorsports owner] had a bike available. So now I’m going to go out and learn a new bike and qualify for the race in just one session because I lost my times from Friday and I’m out of Superpole.”

Superbike Unlimited owner Freddy Carswell declined to comment to Roadracingworld.com, saying he planned to issue a statement some time on Saturday.

In the days immediately prior to the race weekend Superbike Unlimited’s Instagram account included photos labeled as being from the bike showing a Motec M170 ECU and a close-ratio transmission, neither of which conform with MotoAmerica regulations.

Prior to that, Carswell told at least two people that his Motec electronics and the gearbox in his bike were not within current MotoAmerica Superbike regulations.

MotoAmerica Technical Director James Morse told Roadracingworld.com that there is currently no Motec software homologated for use in a Kawasaki in MotoAmerica Superbike.

More, from a press release issued by Dorna:

Torres takes first E-Pole at Misano

The impressive rookie starts Saturday’s Race 1 from pole position – his first in the Grand Prix paddock

Saturday, 19 September 2020

Jordi Torres (Pons Racing 40) took his first ever E-Pole – and first pole position in the Grand Prix paddock – on Saturday, coming out on top in another classic shootout to beat Matteo Ferrari (Trentino Gresini MotoE) by just 0.011. Points leader Dominique Aegerter (Dynavolt Intact GP) completes the front row for Race 1 of the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup at the Emilia Romagna GP.

There were no track limit infractions and no crashes in the session, but there was a splash of drama for Mattia Casadei (Ongetta SIC58 Squadra Corse) as he suffered an issue with his transponder. Given another E-Pole slot later in the session, the Italian got a second chance at it but it led to some last minutes nerves for the men on for a provisional front row start. Casadei’s lap, right at the end, wouldn’t show on timing screens – it would just appear once he crossed the line…

Ultimately though, Torres, Ferrari and Aegerter held on to much relief and a slight drum roll, with Casadei taking P7 and a third row start. In between the top three and the Italian, Row 2 is Eric Granado (Avintia Esponsorama Racing), Xavier Simeon (LCR E-Team) and Lukas Tulovic (Tech 3 E-Racing), the latter off the front row for the first time in 2020. Granado’s lap also merits a postscript, as the Brazilian was visibly cautious after falling foul of track limits in E-Pole last weekend.

Tune in soon as the lights going out for the first FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup race of the weekend at 16:20 (GMT +2) on Saturday and remember: the Race 1 results now decide the grid for Race 2!
