MotoAmerica: Injury Follow-Up Report From Ridge Motorsports Park

Many riders crashed during the MotoAmerica event August 28-30 at Ridge Motorsports Park, in Shelton, Washington, and some suffered injuries.

This is not intended to be a complete list of all of the riders who crashed and/or who were injured during the event, but here is what we know.

M4 ECSTAR Suzuki rider Alex Dumas crashed during the start of Superbike Race One on Saturday and suffered a fracture to his right arm just above the elbow. He is expected to have surgery Tuesday.

Hunter Dunham suffered a nasty, high-speed crash when he clipped a curb early in the Stock 1000 race on Sunday. Dunham was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was found to have a lacerated liver, according to his mother Amy Dunham. Dunham was then transferred to a trauma center in Tacoma, Washington, where he was held under observation for 24 hours and released on Monday.

Alexis Olivera crashed during Junior Cup warm-up on Sunday and suffered fractures to both ankles. According to a post on her Instagram feed, Olivera is scheduled to have bone graft surgery at a Harbor View Medical Center in Seattle on Wednesday.

Brandon Paasch crashed going into the Turn One chicane during Supersport Race Two on Sunday. He told Roadracingworld.com that he suffered a partially dislocated right shoulder and a concussion.

Gus Rodio also crashed during Junior Cup warm-up on Sunday and suffered a broken left femur. According to a post on Rodio’s Facebook page, he was due to have surgery on Monday, but no posts have been made since then. UPDATE: Rodio did have surgery Monday at St. Peters Hospital in Olympia, Washington, and was up and walking with assistance Monday evening, according to friend Frank Angel.

MotoAmerica: Even More From The Races At Ridge Motorsports Park

MotoAmerica: Round 5 Results from The Ridge Motorsports Park for the Altus Motorsports Tucker Hagerty Rangeline Team

(Shelton, WA)  The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington, is a new venue for the MotoAmerica series this year. To allow the racers a chance to familiarize themselves with the technical track, MotoAmerica scheduled an additional practice day for the Thursday preceding the race weekend. The Altus team took advantage of the extra track time. All four riders had a good day and headed into the weekend with confidence.

Honos Superbike & Stock 1000: Having put the brake issues that plagued them in the early part of the season behind them, Cam Petersen and the Altus team are now focused on fine-tuning the setup of the GSX-R 1000. While Petersen dominated all of the Stock 1000 practice sessions, he and the team are now working to narrow the gap in the Superbike class. Cam finished the third Superbike practice session as the fifth fastest – an impressive showing on a Stock 1000-legal motorcycle.

His overall times put him in tenth on the starting grid for the Saturday Superbike Race. He finished the race in ninth and was the top Stock 1000 competitor to cross the line. In Sunday’s race, Petersen brought down his lap times and took the checkered flag in seventh place.

The Stock 1000 class was only scheduled for one race at the Washington round. Petersen started the race from the pole and never looked back. He finished in first with a comfortable 10-second gap on his closest competitor.

“Our early-season issues are behind us and now we are just making the bike better and better,” said Cameron Petersen.

Supersport 600: In his inaugural season, Kevin Olmedo is making a habit of putting his Suzuki GSX-R 600 on the front row of the starting grid for Supersport races. Olmedo was consistently third fastest during practice and, as a result, started both races from the front row. In Race 1, Kevin crossed the line in a lonely fourth place. Unfortunately, a first-lap incident during Race 2 put Olmedo off track and out of the race.

Jaret Nassaney’s weekend started strong. He was tenth fastest in the first practice session and improved to eighth for the qualifying sessions. Nassaney started both races from the middle of the third row. He finished Race 1 in Ninth. Saturday, after the races, the team made some major changes to his GSX-R 600. The bike felt good during Sunday’s warm-up and the team was excited to see how the second race would go. Jaret got an amazing start in Race 2, but he overcooked turn one, got pinched off, and ended up on the ground. Never one to quit, he picked the bike up and finished the race.

“The incident in Race 2 was a bummer. The changes we made felt amazing and I was able to do my fastest lap during the race on Sunday. We are definitely headed in the right direction and I can’t way to get to New Jersey,” said Jaret Nassaney

Liqui Moly Junior Cup: After a great practice day on Thursday, Daniel Kinard’s weekend looked promising. Unfortunately, motor and clutch issues limited his track time and caused a DNF in the Saturday Junior Cup race. Kinard started the Sunday race from 12th and finished 11th with his best lap time of the weekend.

“All-in-all, we had a great weekend. The team is working together extremely well. All the riders help each other. Having Cameron in our pit to work with Kevin and Jaret is indispensable. And our crew chief, Eric Gray did an amazing job this weekend. He brings a lot of experience to the team and we really appreciate it. He and Melissa Paris are working with Cam to dial his bike in and it really shows,” said George Nassaney.

Travis Wyman ends difficult weekend on high note at MotoAmerica Superbikes at the Ridge

BMW rider bounces back from crashes on Friday, Saturday to score top five, top 10 finishes on Sunday

SHELTON, Wash. — While Travis Wyman’s first weekend racing at the Ridge Motorsports Park started with a big crash, the BMW rider rewarded his team’s perseverance with a top-10 finish in Sunday’s MotoAmerica Superbike race and narrowly missed out on scoring his second-consecutive Stock 1000 Class podium.

Wyman ended the Aug. 28-30 event tied for fifth place in the Stock 1000 points standings and was one of several riders who suffered spectacular crashes during MotoAmerica’s first-ever round at the Ridge facility. Wyman’s big crash occurred Friday at the front stretch chicane that was constructed for hosting MotoAmerica competition. The team was experimenting with a softer-compound front tire that lost grip as Wyman was turning into the chicane, and the crash resulted in extensive damage to the team’s 2020 BMW S 1000 RR.

Undeterred by the setback, the team went to work Friday evening repairing the motorcycle and was forced to use most of its spare parts supply in the process. Remarkably, the S 1000 RR was ready to go for Saturday’s Superbike race. However, Wyman was one of the riders who got caught up in a multi-bike crash at the outset of the race. Though the damage to the BMW was not as severe as Friday’s crash, the team wasn’t able to repair the bike in time for the race restart.

The team worked on repairing the bike Saturday night and had it ready for Sunday morning’s Stock 1000 warm-up session. Wyman was running in third place for most of the day’s Stock 1000 race and missed out on a podium finish by 0.384 seconds after a late-race battle with one of his championship rivals. In the Sunday Superbike race, Wyman placed 10th, scoring his fourth top-10 Superbike finish of the 2020 season.

The team has a two-week break before the next MotoAmerica round, which is scheduled for Sept. 11-13 at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, N.J.

Travis Wyman / #10

“My first time racing at Ridge Motorsports Park certainly didn’t go as planned, but it’s great to be leaving Washington with two good results as we continue to develop our 2020 BMW S 1000 RR. My crash at the track’s new chicane on Friday was in part due to using a different front tire, as we are still working to find an ideal set up on our new bike. It was a gnarly crash with the front tucking so early in the corner. My crew of Steve Weir and Alex Torres did a fantastic job getting the bike back together twice in two days, and their hard work allowed me to score the positive results I did on Sunday. This weekend was a tough one for a lot of riders with having to learn a new track that so few of us had experience on. I’m looking forward to getting the team’s 2020 season back on track at New Jersey Motorsports Park, which is a track I have a lot of experience at. I think the great handling of the 2020 BMW S 1000 RR will give us an advantage there.”

This agreement will change all of that and we expect great things as a result.”

MV Agusta Signs Freestyle Stunter Thibaut Nogues

MV AGUSTA FREESTYLE DIVISION’S EXTREME RIDING

French stunt champion Thibaut Nogues thrills European crowds and engages new generation of MV Agusta customers worldwide through live shows and social media

Varese, September 1, 2020 – What can be more thrilling and exciting than riding an MV Agusta? Stunt-riding an MV Agusta. With a series of heart-stopping live shows in motorcycle exhibitions and fairs around Europe, Thibaut Nogues, the French stunt rider from the Côte d’Azur, is transforming a legendary, established brand into a true Love Brand for the new generations of riding enthusiasts. Thibaut, the eclectic frontman of the recently created MV Agusta Freestyle Division, is also very active on social media, with hair-raising, adrenaline-packed videos.

With an impressive reach in over 55 countries worldwide, hundreds of thousands of views for each new video within days and 1.5 million web contacts on a monthly basis, Thibaut Nogues and MV Agusta’s Freestyle Division team elevated the brand to the status of web influencer, appealing to a new audience of millennials and Z generation riders. In 2019, the team participated in over 20 events, ranging from MotoGP and Superbike rounds, to the opening of new showrooms, to Stunt & Drift competitions, to fairs and exhibitions.

With Thibaut in the role of star performer, MV Agusta’s Freestyle Division is led by Virginio Ferrari, a former rider with extensive experience in managing racing teams, seconded by Lorenzo Gandino, Emanuele Grassi and Marco Anfesi, all highly specialised engineers and mechanics with an impressive track record in the racing industry.

For his shows, Thibaut Nogues rides the specially developed Freestyle Division Edition Brutale 800 RR and F3 800 sporting an elegant black, grey and red livery. The bikes’ special components include a steel protective crash cage, nylon crash inserts, a unique “non-slip” stand up wheelie seat, a RAW SC-Project titanium exhaust, machined wheels, a reinforced rear swing arm developed and constructed in CRC, a hand crafted oversize aluminium radiator, different final ratio and chain guards. Additional components include a dedicated ECU map, full Öhlins suspension as well as an STM clutch for drifting performance. The final touches include front fork triple-clamps with a different offset, a rear brake lever on the handlebar, additional rear brake calipers and a special rear brake pedal. Completing the modifications are the CNC machined passenger pegs

Thibaut Nogues commented: “I’ve been a Freestyle rider for 10 years, and I worked hard at developing and expressing an individual,  classy riding style. I think it made a difference. Being a Freestyle rider for MV Agusta gives me the opportunity to fully realise  this aspiration. It’s like a dream. For me, MV bikes are the most beautiful bikes in world. An MV bike is like no other bike, you need to feel it, it’s like a dance partner. I’m so proud to ride MV Agusta bikes and super excited about the future with the Freestyle Division.”

Timur Sardarov, CEO of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., commented “I’d like to congratulate Thibaut for being such an incredibly talented and spectacular stunt rider. His shows and his great communication skills have contributed to raising the awareness of our brand among younger riders worldwide, but this is also a fantastic team effort: I am impressed by the Division’s performance and I am thrilled by its success in winning over a new generation of customers. This goes exactly in the direction of MV Agusta’s new strategy, which also aims at engaging new customers and reaching out to younger audiences. I look forward to discovering the new shows and the new hair-raising stunts Thibaut and the team have in store for us.”

LRRS: Narbonne Wins 97th Loudon Classic

Narbonne conquers the elements in Loudon Classic Victory

The 97th running of the Loudon Classic was chock full of intrigue and story lines.  Defending champion Scott Greenwood is always fast and at the front in the Middleweight GP class, and in adverse weather conditions Scotty is an absolute master.  The conditions of the race were looking to be in question all day long as heavy rains in the morning were forecast to “mostly” stop in the afternoon.  A host of other riders including multi-time winner Shane Narbonne were looking to unseat the reigning champion of the longest running race in the USA.  The 2020 Loudon Classic featured a $5000 cash purse and was sponsored by NHMS, Michelin-Motorace with a special bonus to the top placing Amateur qualifiers by Brian Fernald Construction.

Due to the high likelihood of partial wet/dry conditions, race officials changed the official race distance from 20 to 14 laps.  When the riders rolled out to the grid, one look at the tires selected by the field not only showed how tough the conditions were but also made it impossible to guess the race result.  Going across the front row, Narbonne opted for full slicks while both Scott and Sam Greenwood rolled out on full rain tires.  Filling out the front how as Paul Duval on a set of intermediate tires.  The remainder of the field looked was similarly split with choices, with some riders opting for rain fronts and slick or DOT rears.  The paddock was abuzz with chatter about who made the right choice.

The warmup lap revealed a track that was nearly 90% dry and the sky for the time being looked clear.  The Greenwood clan started to do a rain dance and riders with dry tires were praying for it to hold off!  When the green flag dropped Narbonne shot out of his pole position to take immediate command of the race.  Scott Greenwood followed behind but was unable to match the early pace of Narbonne, especially on acceleration.  Paul Duval and Tyler Wasserbauer dogged Greenwood for several laps before he finally had to relent, and Greenwood set out to salvage points in what was going to be a long race.  Wasserbauer took over the 2nd place spot from Duval and the two looked to be locked in a battle to the end.

Meanwhile, a determined (and current LRRS #1 plate holding) Rick Doucette was recovering from a disastrous start that had him outside the top 10 and putting on a charge for the ages.  As the race passed the halfway point Doucette had worked his way into a distant 4th but he caught two riders off in the distance and put his head down, running the fastest laps of the race in the process.  In the final two laps Doucette went deep on the brakes and made consecutive passes to secure a well-earned second spot.  Wasserbauer held on to third and Duval to fourth.  Kip Peterson rode a lonely race to 5th place, while Elijah Block put in an epic ride to battle ahead of 600cc machines on his KTM 450 motard bike.  Top Amateur Anthony Dicecca fought hard to 12th place overall and secured some well-earned bonus money for his efforts.

The other two premier classes each featured $1000 in purse money and were also run in partially wet conditions.  The Street and Competition Unlimited GP polesitter was Shane Narbonne, making his return to the class on a Suzuki GSX-R1000.  When the green flag dropped, David Dayon  rocketed to the front from his second row starting position, followed by teammate Scott Mullin and Narbonne.  The track had already dried more than 80%, and Narbonne decided to pull out of the race on lap two rather than risk a mistake before the classic.  Soon thereafter Mullin took over the lead and set sail.  Mullin is an exceptionally smooth and experienced rider and rode flawlessly to the end.  Dayon was a solid second place and current championship leader Eric Wood finished 3rd.

In the Seacoast Sport Cycle Lightweight Grand Prix Class the front row was filled out with familiar competitors at the front.  Rick Doucette grabbed pole position just ahead of rival Charles Sandoz.  The front row was filled out by Harlan Hildebrand and Sandoz teammate Brett Guyer.  At the start Sandoz grabbed the holeshot with Doucette in tow.  Eli Block was making a charge through the field and worked his way past Doucette and Sandoz but had his efforts spoiled by a red flag.  On the restart it was again Sandoz and Doucette, but this time Doucette pushed his way into the lead.  However, the young Supermoto-mounted Block was determined to go forward and after passing Sandoz on the penultimate lap he managed to get under Doucette in the tight RH Turn three and hold him off to the finish to secure his first victory in the class.

Round four of the Loudon Road Race Series takes place on September 19-20 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Shelton, WA – After finishing second in Superbike race one at Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington, on Saturday, Westby Racing’s Superbike rider Mathew Scholtz raced his #11 Yamaha YZF-R1 to a fourth-place finish on Sunday.

Starting in fourth position on the inside of the second row of the grid, Mathew got a good jump off the line and held on to fourth tenaciously throughout the 17-lap weekend-concluding race. He got within striking distance of overtaking third-place Bobby Fong a few times during the race, but Mathew couldn’t quite make the move around him. Bobby did a good job defending his position, and it was clear that he wasn’t going to let Mathew surprise him with an overtaking maneuver like he did in Saturday’s race.

As hard as Mathew tried to keep his five-race podium-finishing streak alive, he ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth to record his ninth top-five finish out of ten races thus far in the season.

“All in all, it was a successful weekend for the Westby Racing Team and me, especially at this new track and in a part of the U.S. that I’ve never visited, but I definitely look forward to coming back to,” Mathew said. “We got up to speed very quickly this weekend, and the guys had the bike working perfectly on what is a very technical and challenging race course.

“The track has a lot of grip, and choosing the right compound of front and rear tires is critical because tire wear is definitely an issue. The weather was absolutely perfect the whole time we were here, and it’s a shame that we couldn’t have had spectators because it was a good show from start to finish. I hope all the fans got to see us race on TV or on MotoAmerica Live+.

“Also, I hope that we’ll be back here again next year, and that we’ll have the fans here with us to enjoy the circuit and cheer us on. For now, we’ll travel back to the East Coast, take a little break, and get ready to race again in about a week-and-a-half.”

Next up for Westby Racing is round six of the MotoAmerica Championship, which will take place at the New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey, on September 11 through 13.

Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing’s Cameron Beaubier and Jake Gagne took a dominant 1-2 finish in Sunday’s race two of the fifth MotoAmerica round at The Ridge in Shelton, Washington.

Starting in their Saturday qualifying slots of pole position and second, respectively, Gagne and Beaubier both made good launches off the line. Race one winner Beaubier just took the lead into Turn 1, building a gap immediately and leading Gagne by over three seconds on the seventh lap. In full control of the race, Beaubier was consistently throwing down some fast times and took home another commanding victory, his ninth of 2020, and a career-best record for the most wins in a season.

Behind his teammate, Gagne lapped solidly in second place, maintaining his gap to the chasing pack. In the final laps, the Californian had a rider in hot pursuit, but he held off the challenge to return to the podium, his eighth of the season.

The double podium on Sunday gives the Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha team an excellent lead at the top of the standings, with reigning champion Beaubier and Gagne in commanding first and second positions in the championship. The team will be back in action at the New Jersey Motorsports Park, in Millville, New Jersey, September 11-13.

Richard Stanboli – Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing Team Manager

“We had a great result today. Cameron and Jake in conjunction with our 2020 Yamaha R1s continue to set the standard. Not only did we finish 1-2 but we also made some important improvements that we will take to our next event. We look forward to racing at New Jersey and Barber Motorsports Park the following weekend.”

Cameron Beaubier – Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing

“Everything’s going so good right now. I’m really comfortable on my R1. The whole team’s working really hard and I’ve got a great teammate (Jake Gagne). So it’s great to be able to go 1-2 for the team and show them that the hard work is paying off. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Sunny and 75 degrees and two wins. I really enjoyed this track and look forward to coming back here in the future.”

Jake Gagne – Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing

“We got off to a good start behind Cam and my bike was feeling good today, but he had a great pace out front and we just couldn’t quite hang with him. After a few changes yesterday we were able to improve in some areas but also struggled in some other areas. I’m really happy with the progress that we’ve made over the weekend and the team has been awesome. I can’t wait to get to New Jersey!”

Kyle Wyman struggles at The Ridge as Zanetti makes a strong MotoAmerica impression

Sunnyvale, Calif. – Kyle Wyman (OneCure/KWR Ducati Team) suffered a tough race weekend at round five of the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington, as Yamaha’s Cameron Beaubier took both race wins.

The lead Ducati protagonist in the MotoAmerica Superbike series suffered a high-speed crash during Thursday’s pre-race test session, the rebuilding process ensuring Wyman didn’t get any track time on Friday and missed Superpole.

That meant he was last on the grid for both Superbike races, and a massive turn one pile-up saw not just Wyman but a number of riders hit the deck, the crash wrecking his newly rebuilt Ducati Panigale V4 R.

As a result of the two crashes and the critical shortage of parts, Wyman and the OneCure/KWR Ducati Team decided to pull out of race two and focus on rebuilding ahead of the New Jersey Motorsports Park round in two weeks’ time.

Down pit lane in the Celtic HSBK Racing Ducati team, MotoAmerica debutant Lorenzo Zanetti made a good impression as he took the Panigale V4 R to sixth in Superpole, followed by a seventh in race one. He was running inside the top seven again in race two but was forced to retire with a mechanical issue.

The Italian former WorldSSP racer and current Ducati Corse test rider proved the competitiveness of the Panigale V4 R in largely stock racing trim and is hopeful of a series return before the 2020 season is out.

“I was too far back to see it happening,” Wyman said of the race one crash, “and by the time I realized people were scattering I had my front wheel taken out. I got run over, pushed around, it was a mess down there.

“We decided on Saturday night to pull the pin on racing today,” Wyman continued. “We’ve got to make sure we’re OK for the rest of the year, so we have to put ourselves in a position that we make the most of what’s left. Gridding up in last and maybe fighting for a few points, I don’t think, is worth the risk of being taken out again. We’re going to gather it up, and put together a plan for the rest of the year because the rounds are stacked up on top of each other so we have to be ready.”

“We lost a lot of oil from the bike,” Zanetti said after recording a DNF in race two. “I’m lucky, because from the beginning (of the race) I had a bit of problem with the temperature, maybe a small engine problem. We’re not sure if it was a problem from yesterday in the race. But I continued in race one, where we got seventh, and first of the Stock 1000 guys.

“My first MotoAmerica experience was not too bad,” Zanetti continued. “I like the championship, it has quite a good atmosphere, and this is nice. The championship has good potential. Also, the team wants to make some more improvements, but they know what we need if we are to compete for the win.”

Fifth Top 10 of the season for Bradley Ward who rips it at Ridge Motorsports Park

Bradley Ward was back in the top ten twice as the 2020 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship debuted at the Ridge Motorsports Park in the Pacific North West, albeit behind closed doors (with no fans).

The lack of support track side didn’t slow the British rider down, and despite a small spill in Practice on Friday the #57 FLY Racing ADR Motorsports Kawasaki rider lined up thirteenth and twelfth on the grid for the two races at the technically demanding 2.5 mile circuit.

A red flag on lap one of the opening encounter saw a reduction in laps (17 to 13), with Ward coming home tenth, a couple of seconds from the top eight! Sunday’s second race once again saw Ward in the mix. He eventually crossed the line ninth, securing his fifth top ten finish of his ‘rookie’ Superbike season!

Bradley Ward: “I didn’t make Superpole so started Race 1 from the fifth row. I was a lot more comfortable with the bike after we made some changes in Warm-Up and was able to make a good start – I think I was eighth. There was a big pile up and the race was red flagged. I made another solid start in the restart and was sixth or seventh into the first few corners. On the third or fourth lap I caught my knee at Turn 6, which is a long sweeping left hander. I ripped my knee slider off, so from then on it was pretty difficult as I rely on my slider quite a lot for feeling. I was lapping consistently but I do believe that I would have been able to run a faster pace had it not been for the earlier incident. Sunday I was moved up to twelfth on the grid. I was on the outside but made a good start. I was seventh and then got hit, so I have a nice tyre mark on my leathers – there was definitely a bit of rubbing at Turn 1. Uribe (Jayson) passed me and I didn’t have the pace to run with him. My pace was similar to Saturday, but I was unable to get into the ‘43s. In the end it was another top ten, more points and I kept it upright. There was a lot of carnage, so we have to be happy that we were able to go to a new track, learn it and come away with two good results.”

Crash on Friday, Podium on Sunday – Aguilar rebounds at Ridge Motorsports Park

Jason Aguilar has taken his second career MotoAmerica Supersport podium!

A monster crash in first qualifying at The Ridge Motorsports Park may have put Jason Aguilar on the back foot as the 2020 MotoAmerica series made its first visit to the Pacific North West but the hard charging #96 Riderzlaw Yamaha rider dug deep and after rebuilding the bike including some last minute changes after yet more issues in Saturday morning’s Warm Up session he was able to bring it home in seventh and third places respectively in the weekend’s two to consolidate his fourth in the overall classification.

Saturday’s race was a lonely affair, but Jason knew that points make prizes and rode sensibly to add nine championship points to his tally. Sunday however was a different story. Lapping significantly faster than the previous day, he was able to latch on in the early stages to the leading group after avoiding the mayhem on the opening lap that saw several riders fall. A perfectly executed race from start to finish resulted in a podium finish and this one meant everything with actually able to take his place in winners circle.

Jason Aguilar: “Saturday was a crazy day. I was trying to put down a good time. After Friday’s crash something didn’t feel right. I was able to qualify tenth, but I knew something was wrong. A further check revealed that the forks and the triple clamps were bent so whilst that explained what I was feeling on track meant even more work for us before Race 1. We just made the race, so I want to say a massive thanks to my whole crew. I was so tired and stressed before the race and I was able to bring it home in seventh. It took me a few laps to get used to things again. I did the best I could under the circumstances and considering the day and half we had I was satisfied. I didn’t get the best start on Sunday. I saw all the chaos happen ahead. I thought there would be a red flag but there wasn’t. I was running fourth and the gap between me and Silva (Lucas) was staying pretty constant. I saw Paasch (Brandon) go down and that put me into third. I had a big gap behind me and after the weekend I’d had I decided to cruise it in. It’s great to be on the podium but I’m not happy with how I rode. I want to be on the podium without others crashing. For sure the podium is great, but I want more, and I’ll be giving it everything next time out to beat the guys straight up!”

SUZUKI RIDERS DOMINATE AT RIDGE MOTORSPORTS PARK

Brea, CA (August 31, 2020) – M4 ECSTAR Suzuki, Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.’s official MotoAmerica race program, and Altus Motorsports Suzuki’s Cam Petersen reigned victorious in the series’ first-ever visit to Ridge Motorsports Park.At the conclusion of an eventful weekend, Suzuki teams left Shelton, Washington, with seven additional podium trophies in their possession, highlighted by Sean Dylan Kelly’s dominant win in Sunday’s MotoAmerica Supersport race and Cam Petersen’s thrilling victory in the Stock 1000 class.

‘SDK’ was in spectacular form throughout the weekend, securing the pole aboard his M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R600, trading haymakers up front en route to a Saturday second, and then racing home with an 18-plus-second margin of victory on Sunday.

The Florida native sprinted ahead at the start, which crucially moved him clear of a first-turn incident just behind his rear wheel. He then pressed forward with a punishing pace, which broke the challenge of another rival, opening the path to a walkaway win.

“I’m happy to be in the P1 spot and pick up 25 points,” Kelly said. “I wasn’t too aware of what was going on behind me. I did hear something in the first corner, and it sounded really close so I thought it might be one of the guys right behind me. I just focused on my own race and went as hard as I could. I definitely had a better pace compared to yesterday.”

“I’m really happy to get my second victory on the season, but we know we still have work to do. We have a long way to go to get what we want this season. We’re working really hard, and I want to give a huge thanks to my whole M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team for believing in me.”

Adding to the team’s joy was the fact that Kelly’s ever-improving Supersport stablemate, Lucas Silva, gave M4 ECSTAR Suzuki a magnificent 1-2 in the race.

Silva did well to avoid the early-race drama and then demonstrated a hot race pace more than a half-second stronger than his qualifying best.

The runner-up result marks Silva’s first career MotoAmerica Supersport podium and continues his perfect season streak of top 10s, including a Saturday sixth.

He said, “Honestly, I have no words. With everything that happened in the race, I had to keep my focus. I tried to do my best to hang with the leaders in the first few laps, and once I saw there wasn’t anyone behind me, I just maintained my pace.

“Man, I don’t even know what to say. This is amazing. I did the whole cool down lap smiling and crying. Thank you to everyone.”

Another standout performer mounted on a Suzuki GSX-R was Altus Motorsports’ Cam Petersen, who dominated the weekend in the Stock 1000 class. Petersen won pole and then took charge of the red-flagged race to win by over ten seconds.

“We’ve made some pretty big steps this weekend with the motorcycle and the way it handles,” Petersen said. “It’s made me feel more at home, It feels like it’s my motorcycle now. It’s been nothing but good vibes this weekend.”

Meanwhile, in the premier MotoAmerica Superbike class, Bobby Fong collected a pair of thirds that were as impressive as victories under normal circumstances.

Fong put on a brave face despite still riding in considerable pain after injuring his left hand at the previous round. Despite the added difficulty, the Californian put up a serious fight in both races. He battled for second to the last lap on Saturday, and then did the same on Sunday, registering his fastest lap of the entire weekend on the final lap to close to within a half-second of second place.

Fong said, “What can I say? My M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSXR-1000 made me look good. This double podium definitely feels like a win after going down in Pittsburgh. I’ve got to give it up to the Lord, my crew, my coach, and all the doctors looking after me this weekend.”

Former series champion Toni Elias finished fifth on the track each time out, including a spirited battle in Sunday’s race that saw him make a pass for position on the last lap. Elias was docked one spot, however, when he ran straight through the turn one chicane after the race was over and was classified in sixth.

With all the highs, the team also suffered a low on the weekend. The meteoric rise of Alex Dumas was placed on a temporary pause when he suffered a broken bone in his right arm after getting caught up in a first-corner incident in Saturday’s Superbike contest.

As a result, the French Canadian was unable to take his front-row grid position and seek his maiden Stock 1000 race win in Sunday’s class contest.

Rocco Landers won the 12-lap Twins Cup race at the Ridge, bringing home his Sportbike TrackGear.com Suzuki seven seconds ahead of the competition.

After the race, polesitter Landers said, “My SportbikeTrackGear.com/Roadracing World Suzuki SV650 has been awesome this weekend. The team worked super hard prepping the bike and getting it ready for the race and we made the right tire choice. It’s only due to a few small hiccups that we’re not leading this championship right now, so we’re just going to keep pushing and keep pushing and see what we can do.”

M4 ECSTAR Suzuki, Altus Motorsports, and the rest of the MotoAmerica paddock will now travel across the country for Round 6 of the 2020 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing at New Jersey Motorsports Park on September 11-13.

Thanks to the painstaking care of Aprilia Racing, the most advanced Piaggio Group platform for motorcycle technology development, Tuono V4 X is now a true high-handlebar racing bike, capable of providing an exclusive riding experience and great thrills, reserved for the most advanced and demanding consumer.

Considering the fact that, since its birth in 2011, the Tuono V4 has been deemed the best hypernaked on the track, you can just imagine the credentials of the Tuono V4 X, capable of lapping with a pace of 1’50” at Imola in the able hands of Aprilia rider Lorenzo Savadori, during development entrusted to him: “It is the most fun bike I’ve ever ridden. In my opinion, the mix of comfort and performance is unique. The insane engine is also easy to manage, both for experts and novices, and the aerodynamics package provides incredible stability for a naked. I think that the Tuono V4 X has once again created a new segment.”

With the performance and thrills that Tuono V4 X is capable of providing, Aleix Espargaró also caught the fever, the Aprilia Racing team MotoGP rider who put it through its paces on the Austrian Red Bull Ring circuit: “The Tuono V4 X is out of this world. I had never tested a high-handlebar bike on the track and I was surprised at the feeling of stability. The engine is insane, but the chassis architecture doesn’t struggle – to the contrary: the riding position and the electronics make it extremely fun. You can ride it cleanly, but you can also drift with it if you want to. It is a pure sportbike with a hooligan side!”

The experience that the Racing Department from Noale has in the top championships contributed to the development of the Aprilia Tuono V4 X: for the first time on a bike of this type, the generous front aerodynamic appendage in carbon has been introduced, clearly derived from the one fitted on the Aprilia RS-GP used in MotoGP. This choice contributes to increasing stability at high speeds and in the critical phases of braking and acceleration.

The goal of making this special Tuono a true high-handlebar racing bike exclusively for track use was achieved in full, thanks to a skilled job of general lightening, which reached the exceptional landmark of 166 kg dry weight on the scales, specs that are rather close to those of MotoGP prototypes.

All the fairings are in carbon, enhanced by the dedicated “Bol d’Or” graphic, inspired by the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory which participated in the 2006 edition of the legendary French endurance race. The fuel tank is the same shape as the original, but it is lighter, while the factory electrical system has been simplified. Another obviously sports-derived element is the racing panel via which to adjust the main electronic controls of the Tuono V4 X. There are numerous billet aluminium parts that contribute to lowering the weight, such as the clutch lever, the brake lever guard, the engine crankcase guards, the adjustable footpegs and the fuel cap. The Marchesini wheel rims in forged magnesium, shod with racing slicks, provide the added value of handling that is out of reach even for fairing-covered supersport bikes.

The engine is derived from the unit that successfully equips the RSV4 1100 Factory. The Akrapovic exhaust system features titanium collectors and a carbon outlet, while the air filter is a Sprint Filter element, specifically the air filter that offers the highest permeability of those available on the market (as well as being waterproof), the same unit that Aprilia Racing uses in MotoGP.

Electronic fine-tuning is guaranteed by the ECU which has been revamped in terms of logic and functions, featuring engine control and vehicle dynamics maps developed by Aprilia Racing. The engine maps are all “full power” and optimised for the racing exhaust system. The engine brake, traction control and anti-wheelie levels are specifically designed for use on the track. It comes standard with the electronic gearbox (including downshifting) and the colour TFT instrument cluster reprogrammed with lap time display using the built-in GPS sensor.

The maximum power of the V4 from Noale increases from the 217 HP of the factory unit to the value of 221 HP measured at the crank. Performance that can be fully exploited thanks to the proverbial quality of a frame which is heir to a dynasty that won 18 titles and 143 Grand Prix races in the 250 class and the advanced semi-active Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension system.

The Brembo braking system is also entirely racing, thanks to the use of refined and extremely effective GP4-MS billet aluminium calipers that grip a pair of steel discs with T-Drive technology and are controlled by a 19×16 radial master cylinder, also made in billet aluminium.

Each Aprilia Tuono V4 X unit, available at a price of €34,900, can already be reserved exclusively online by going to the Aprilia website. Buyers will be able to pick up their unit directly from Aprilia Racing, simultaneously with an exclusive tour of the racing department in Noale, and they will receive a dedicated KYT NX-Race helmet with a graphic inspired by the bike’s graphics.

Tuono V4 X is part of the Factory Works program launched by Aprilia Racing: unique in the world, it takes the same technology developed in competitive racing and makes it available to those planning to compete at high level in factory derivative championships or to those who want an RSV4 or a Tuono V4 with performance optimised for track use.

World Superbike: Althea Racing Withdraws From Championship

Althea Racing ends its World Superbike season

Monday 31 August 2020

Althea Racing announces its decision to terminate with immediate effect the partnership with MIE Honda Racing and to end in advance its participation in the 2020 World Superbike Championship.

Althea is sorry to note that the collaboration with MIE Racing, which started under the best auspices in the 2019-2020 sports season, did not produce sporting and image results suitable with the profile and prestige that have always distinguished the Althea Racing commitment, having come to miss the technical and contractual basis.

Althea Racing will continue to operate in the CIV Championship (Campionato Italiano Velocità) and will shortly communicate its international programs.
 

Genesio Bevilacqua, Althea Racing Team Principal “Despite having given the utmost commitment regardless the criticalities of the period, we take note of the irremediable technical and contractual incompatibilities. Althea Racing, in respect of its partners, sponsors and the same staff, cannot ignore the quality standards that have always distinguished its activity, and thanks to which have been achieved sporting and image results that have placed the Team at the top of international motorsport.

“For Althea and myself, always engaged in enhancing the staff and the young riders lined up on the track, it is unthinkable to continue when missing the aforementioned conditions.
For this reason, despite the passion that has always made our sporting heart beat, we must stop a project that we reckon has no future. I wish Midori Moriwaki good luck for the sporting and professional future.”

Collections: The Harley-Davidson Museum, In The August Issue

Featured In the August 2020 issue of Roadracing World: Harley-Davidson Museum

        Harley-Davidson has a 110-plus-year history of producing motorcycles and promoting the two-wheel culture. It is one of the most recognizable brands in the world, but for most of that time, the company had kept its story and extensive archives largely to itself. That all changed in 2008 when The Motor Company opened the Harley-Davidson Museum, a purpose-built 150,000-sq. ft. multi-use facility on a 20-acre campus near downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

 

At the Harley-Davidson Museum near Milwaukee, a photo in the reception hall, sourced from a private collector, shows attendees at the 1919 Harley-Davidson dealer show wearing face masks due to the Spanish Flu pandemic.

Many riders crashed during the MotoAmerica event August 28-30 at Ridge Motorsports Park, in Shelton, Washington, and some suffered injuries.

This is not intended to be a complete list of all of the riders who crashed and/or who were injured during the event, but here is what we know.

M4 ECSTAR Suzuki rider Alex Dumas crashed during the start of Superbike Race One on Saturday and suffered a fracture to his right arm just above the elbow. He is expected to have surgery Tuesday.

Hunter Dunham suffered a nasty, high-speed crash when he clipped a curb early in the Stock 1000 race on Sunday. Dunham was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was found to have a lacerated liver, according to his mother Amy Dunham. Dunham was then transferred to a trauma center in Tacoma, Washington, where he was held under observation for 24 hours and released on Monday.

Alexis Olivera crashed during Junior Cup warm-up on Sunday and suffered fractures to both ankles. According to a post on her Instagram feed, Olivera is scheduled to have bone graft surgery at a Harbor View Medical Center in Seattle on Wednesday.

Brandon Paasch crashed going into the Turn One chicane during Supersport Race Two on Sunday. He told Roadracingworld.com that he suffered a partially dislocated right shoulder and a concussion.

Gus Rodio also crashed during Junior Cup warm-up on Sunday and suffered a broken left femur. According to a post on Rodio’s Facebook page, he was due to have surgery on Monday, but no posts have been made since then. UPDATE: Rodio did have surgery Monday at St. Peters Hospital in Olympia, Washington, and was up and walking with assistance Monday evening, according to friend Frank Angel.

MotoAmerica: Even More From The Races At Ridge Motorsports Park

MotoAmerica: Round 5 Results from The Ridge Motorsports Park for the Altus Motorsports Tucker Hagerty Rangeline Team

(Shelton, WA)  The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington, is a new venue for the MotoAmerica series this year. To allow the racers a chance to familiarize themselves with the technical track, MotoAmerica scheduled an additional practice day for the Thursday preceding the race weekend. The Altus team took advantage of the extra track time. All four riders had a good day and headed into the weekend with confidence.

Honos Superbike & Stock 1000: Having put the brake issues that plagued them in the early part of the season behind them, Cam Petersen and the Altus team are now focused on fine-tuning the setup of the GSX-R 1000. While Petersen dominated all of the Stock 1000 practice sessions, he and the team are now working to narrow the gap in the Superbike class. Cam finished the third Superbike practice session as the fifth fastest – an impressive showing on a Stock 1000-legal motorcycle.

His overall times put him in tenth on the starting grid for the Saturday Superbike Race. He finished the race in ninth and was the top Stock 1000 competitor to cross the line. In Sunday’s race, Petersen brought down his lap times and took the checkered flag in seventh place.

The Stock 1000 class was only scheduled for one race at the Washington round. Petersen started the race from the pole and never looked back. He finished in first with a comfortable 10-second gap on his closest competitor.

“Our early-season issues are behind us and now we are just making the bike better and better,” said Cameron Petersen.

Supersport 600: In his inaugural season, Kevin Olmedo is making a habit of putting his Suzuki GSX-R 600 on the front row of the starting grid for Supersport races. Olmedo was consistently third fastest during practice and, as a result, started both races from the front row. In Race 1, Kevin crossed the line in a lonely fourth place. Unfortunately, a first-lap incident during Race 2 put Olmedo off track and out of the race.

Jaret Nassaney’s weekend started strong. He was tenth fastest in the first practice session and improved to eighth for the qualifying sessions. Nassaney started both races from the middle of the third row. He finished Race 1 in Ninth. Saturday, after the races, the team made some major changes to his GSX-R 600. The bike felt good during Sunday’s warm-up and the team was excited to see how the second race would go. Jaret got an amazing start in Race 2, but he overcooked turn one, got pinched off, and ended up on the ground. Never one to quit, he picked the bike up and finished the race.

“The incident in Race 2 was a bummer. The changes we made felt amazing and I was able to do my fastest lap during the race on Sunday. We are definitely headed in the right direction and I can’t way to get to New Jersey,” said Jaret Nassaney

Liqui Moly Junior Cup: After a great practice day on Thursday, Daniel Kinard’s weekend looked promising. Unfortunately, motor and clutch issues limited his track time and caused a DNF in the Saturday Junior Cup race. Kinard started the Sunday race from 12th and finished 11th with his best lap time of the weekend.

“All-in-all, we had a great weekend. The team is working together extremely well. All the riders help each other. Having Cameron in our pit to work with Kevin and Jaret is indispensable. And our crew chief, Eric Gray did an amazing job this weekend. He brings a lot of experience to the team and we really appreciate it. He and Melissa Paris are working with Cam to dial his bike in and it really shows,” said George Nassaney.

Travis Wyman ends difficult weekend on high note at MotoAmerica Superbikes at the Ridge

BMW rider bounces back from crashes on Friday, Saturday to score top five, top 10 finishes on Sunday

SHELTON, Wash. — While Travis Wyman’s first weekend racing at the Ridge Motorsports Park started with a big crash, the BMW rider rewarded his team’s perseverance with a top-10 finish in Sunday’s MotoAmerica Superbike race and narrowly missed out on scoring his second-consecutive Stock 1000 Class podium.

Wyman ended the Aug. 28-30 event tied for fifth place in the Stock 1000 points standings and was one of several riders who suffered spectacular crashes during MotoAmerica’s first-ever round at the Ridge facility. Wyman’s big crash occurred Friday at the front stretch chicane that was constructed for hosting MotoAmerica competition. The team was experimenting with a softer-compound front tire that lost grip as Wyman was turning into the chicane, and the crash resulted in extensive damage to the team’s 2020 BMW S 1000 RR.

Undeterred by the setback, the team went to work Friday evening repairing the motorcycle and was forced to use most of its spare parts supply in the process. Remarkably, the S 1000 RR was ready to go for Saturday’s Superbike race. However, Wyman was one of the riders who got caught up in a multi-bike crash at the outset of the race. Though the damage to the BMW was not as severe as Friday’s crash, the team wasn’t able to repair the bike in time for the race restart.

The team worked on repairing the bike Saturday night and had it ready for Sunday morning’s Stock 1000 warm-up session. Wyman was running in third place for most of the day’s Stock 1000 race and missed out on a podium finish by 0.384 seconds after a late-race battle with one of his championship rivals. In the Sunday Superbike race, Wyman placed 10th, scoring his fourth top-10 Superbike finish of the 2020 season.

The team has a two-week break before the next MotoAmerica round, which is scheduled for Sept. 11-13 at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, N.J.

Travis Wyman / #10

“My first time racing at Ridge Motorsports Park certainly didn’t go as planned, but it’s great to be leaving Washington with two good results as we continue to develop our 2020 BMW S 1000 RR. My crash at the track’s new chicane on Friday was in part due to using a different front tire, as we are still working to find an ideal set up on our new bike. It was a gnarly crash with the front tucking so early in the corner. My crew of Steve Weir and Alex Torres did a fantastic job getting the bike back together twice in two days, and their hard work allowed me to score the positive results I did on Sunday. This weekend was a tough one for a lot of riders with having to learn a new track that so few of us had experience on. I’m looking forward to getting the team’s 2020 season back on track at New Jersey Motorsports Park, which is a track I have a lot of experience at. I think the great handling of the 2020 BMW S 1000 RR will give us an advantage there.”

MV AGUSTA FREESTYLE DIVISION’S EXTREME RIDING

French stunt champion Thibaut Nogues thrills European crowds and engages new generation of MV Agusta customers worldwide through live shows and social media

Varese, September 1, 2020 – What can be more thrilling and exciting than riding an MV Agusta? Stunt-riding an MV Agusta. With a series of heart-stopping live shows in motorcycle exhibitions and fairs around Europe, Thibaut Nogues, the French stunt rider from the Côte d’Azur, is transforming a legendary, established brand into a true Love Brand for the new generations of riding enthusiasts. Thibaut, the eclectic frontman of the recently created MV Agusta Freestyle Division, is also very active on social media, with hair-raising, adrenaline-packed videos.

With an impressive reach in over 55 countries worldwide, hundreds of thousands of views for each new video within days and 1.5 million web contacts on a monthly basis, Thibaut Nogues and MV Agusta’s Freestyle Division team elevated the brand to the status of web influencer, appealing to a new audience of millennials and Z generation riders. In 2019, the team participated in over 20 events, ranging from MotoGP and Superbike rounds, to the opening of new showrooms, to Stunt & Drift competitions, to fairs and exhibitions.

With Thibaut in the role of star performer, MV Agusta’s Freestyle Division is led by Virginio Ferrari, a former rider with extensive experience in managing racing teams, seconded by Lorenzo Gandino, Emanuele Grassi and Marco Anfesi, all highly specialised engineers and mechanics with an impressive track record in the racing industry.

For his shows, Thibaut Nogues rides the specially developed Freestyle Division Edition Brutale 800 RR and F3 800 sporting an elegant black, grey and red livery. The bikes’ special components include a steel protective crash cage, nylon crash inserts, a unique “non-slip” stand up wheelie seat, a RAW SC-Project titanium exhaust, machined wheels, a reinforced rear swing arm developed and constructed in CRC, a hand crafted oversize aluminium radiator, different final ratio and chain guards. Additional components include a dedicated ECU map, full Öhlins suspension as well as an STM clutch for drifting performance. The final touches include front fork triple-clamps with a different offset, a rear brake lever on the handlebar, additional rear brake calipers and a special rear brake pedal. Completing the modifications are the CNC machined passenger pegs

Thibaut Nogues commented: “I’ve been a Freestyle rider for 10 years, and I worked hard at developing and expressing an individual,  classy riding style. I think it made a difference. Being a Freestyle rider for MV Agusta gives me the opportunity to fully realise  this aspiration. It’s like a dream. For me, MV bikes are the most beautiful bikes in world. An MV bike is like no other bike, you need to feel it, it’s like a dance partner. I’m so proud to ride MV Agusta bikes and super excited about the future with the Freestyle Division.”

Timur Sardarov, CEO of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A., commented “I’d like to congratulate Thibaut for being such an incredibly talented and spectacular stunt rider. His shows and his great communication skills have contributed to raising the awareness of our brand among younger riders worldwide, but this is also a fantastic team effort: I am impressed by the Division’s performance and I am thrilled by its success in winning over a new generation of customers. This goes exactly in the direction of MV Agusta’s new strategy, which also aims at engaging new customers and reaching out to younger audiences. I look forward to discovering the new shows and the new hair-raising stunts Thibaut and the team have in store for us.”

LRRS: Narbonne Wins 97th Loudon Classic

Narbonne conquers the elements in Loudon Classic Victory

The 97th running of the Loudon Classic was chock full of intrigue and story lines.  Defending champion Scott Greenwood is always fast and at the front in the Middleweight GP class, and in adverse weather conditions Scotty is an absolute master.  The conditions of the race were looking to be in question all day long as heavy rains in the morning were forecast to “mostly” stop in the afternoon.  A host of other riders including multi-time winner Shane Narbonne were looking to unseat the reigning champion of the longest running race in the USA.  The 2020 Loudon Classic featured a $5000 cash purse and was sponsored by NHMS, Michelin-Motorace with a special bonus to the top placing Amateur qualifiers by Brian Fernald Construction.

Due to the high likelihood of partial wet/dry conditions, race officials changed the official race distance from 20 to 14 laps.  When the riders rolled out to the grid, one look at the tires selected by the field not only showed how tough the conditions were but also made it impossible to guess the race result.  Going across the front row, Narbonne opted for full slicks while both Scott and Sam Greenwood rolled out on full rain tires.  Filling out the front how as Paul Duval on a set of intermediate tires.  The remainder of the field looked was similarly split with choices, with some riders opting for rain fronts and slick or DOT rears.  The paddock was abuzz with chatter about who made the right choice.

The warmup lap revealed a track that was nearly 90% dry and the sky for the time being looked clear.  The Greenwood clan started to do a rain dance and riders with dry tires were praying for it to hold off!  When the green flag dropped Narbonne shot out of his pole position to take immediate command of the race.  Scott Greenwood followed behind but was unable to match the early pace of Narbonne, especially on acceleration.  Paul Duval and Tyler Wasserbauer dogged Greenwood for several laps before he finally had to relent, and Greenwood set out to salvage points in what was going to be a long race.  Wasserbauer took over the 2nd place spot from Duval and the two looked to be locked in a battle to the end.

Meanwhile, a determined (and current LRRS #1 plate holding) Rick Doucette was recovering from a disastrous start that had him outside the top 10 and putting on a charge for the ages.  As the race passed the halfway point Doucette had worked his way into a distant 4th but he caught two riders off in the distance and put his head down, running the fastest laps of the race in the process.  In the final two laps Doucette went deep on the brakes and made consecutive passes to secure a well-earned second spot.  Wasserbauer held on to third and Duval to fourth.  Kip Peterson rode a lonely race to 5th place, while Elijah Block put in an epic ride to battle ahead of 600cc machines on his KTM 450 motard bike.  Top Amateur Anthony Dicecca fought hard to 12th place overall and secured some well-earned bonus money for his efforts.

The other two premier classes each featured $1000 in purse money and were also run in partially wet conditions.  The Street and Competition Unlimited GP polesitter was Shane Narbonne, making his return to the class on a Suzuki GSX-R1000.  When the green flag dropped, David Dayon  rocketed to the front from his second row starting position, followed by teammate Scott Mullin and Narbonne.  The track had already dried more than 80%, and Narbonne decided to pull out of the race on lap two rather than risk a mistake before the classic.  Soon thereafter Mullin took over the lead and set sail.  Mullin is an exceptionally smooth and experienced rider and rode flawlessly to the end.  Dayon was a solid second place and current championship leader Eric Wood finished 3rd.

In the Seacoast Sport Cycle Lightweight Grand Prix Class the front row was filled out with familiar competitors at the front.  Rick Doucette grabbed pole position just ahead of rival Charles Sandoz.  The front row was filled out by Harlan Hildebrand and Sandoz teammate Brett Guyer.  At the start Sandoz grabbed the holeshot with Doucette in tow.  Eli Block was making a charge through the field and worked his way past Doucette and Sandoz but had his efforts spoiled by a red flag.  On the restart it was again Sandoz and Doucette, but this time Doucette pushed his way into the lead.  However, the young Supermoto-mounted Block was determined to go forward and after passing Sandoz on the penultimate lap he managed to get under Doucette in the tight RH Turn three and hold him off to the finish to secure his first victory in the class.

Round four of the Loudon Road Race Series takes place on September 19-20 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Shelton, WA – After finishing second in Superbike race one at Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington, on Saturday, Westby Racing’s Superbike rider Mathew Scholtz raced his #11 Yamaha YZF-R1 to a fourth-place finish on Sunday.

Starting in fourth position on the inside of the second row of the grid, Mathew got a good jump off the line and held on to fourth tenaciously throughout the 17-lap weekend-concluding race. He got within striking distance of overtaking third-place Bobby Fong a few times during the race, but Mathew couldn’t quite make the move around him. Bobby did a good job defending his position, and it was clear that he wasn’t going to let Mathew surprise him with an overtaking maneuver like he did in Saturday’s race.

As hard as Mathew tried to keep his five-race podium-finishing streak alive, he ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth to record his ninth top-five finish out of ten races thus far in the season.

“All in all, it was a successful weekend for the Westby Racing Team and me, especially at this new track and in a part of the U.S. that I’ve never visited, but I definitely look forward to coming back to,” Mathew said. “We got up to speed very quickly this weekend, and the guys had the bike working perfectly on what is a very technical and challenging race course.

“The track has a lot of grip, and choosing the right compound of front and rear tires is critical because tire wear is definitely an issue. The weather was absolutely perfect the whole time we were here, and it’s a shame that we couldn’t have had spectators because it was a good show from start to finish. I hope all the fans got to see us race on TV or on MotoAmerica Live+.

“Also, I hope that we’ll be back here again next year, and that we’ll have the fans here with us to enjoy the circuit and cheer us on. For now, we’ll travel back to the East Coast, take a little break, and get ready to race again in about a week-and-a-half.”

Next up for Westby Racing is round six of the MotoAmerica Championship, which will take place at the New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey, on September 11 through 13.

Beaubier and Gagne Storm to Double Podium in Race Two at The Ridge

Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing’s Cameron Beaubier and Jake Gagne took a dominant 1-2 finish in Sunday’s race two of the fifth MotoAmerica round at The Ridge in Shelton, Washington.

Starting in their Saturday qualifying slots of pole position and second, respectively, Gagne and Beaubier both made good launches off the line. Race one winner Beaubier just took the lead into Turn 1, building a gap immediately and leading Gagne by over three seconds on the seventh lap. In full control of the race, Beaubier was consistently throwing down some fast times and took home another commanding victory, his ninth of 2020, and a career-best record for the most wins in a season.

Behind his teammate, Gagne lapped solidly in second place, maintaining his gap to the chasing pack. In the final laps, the Californian had a rider in hot pursuit, but he held off the challenge to return to the podium, his eighth of the season.

The double podium on Sunday gives the Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha team an excellent lead at the top of the standings, with reigning champion Beaubier and Gagne in commanding first and second positions in the championship. The team will be back in action at the New Jersey Motorsports Park, in Millville, New Jersey, September 11-13.

Richard Stanboli – Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing Team Manager

“We had a great result today. Cameron and Jake in conjunction with our 2020 Yamaha R1s continue to set the standard. Not only did we finish 1-2 but we also made some important improvements that we will take to our next event. We look forward to racing at New Jersey and Barber Motorsports Park the following weekend.”

Cameron Beaubier – Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing

“Everything’s going so good right now. I’m really comfortable on my R1. The whole team’s working really hard and I’ve got a great teammate (Jake Gagne). So it’s great to be able to go 1-2 for the team and show them that the hard work is paying off. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Sunny and 75 degrees and two wins. I really enjoyed this track and look forward to coming back here in the future.”

Jake Gagne – Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing

“We got off to a good start behind Cam and my bike was feeling good today, but he had a great pace out front and we just couldn’t quite hang with him. After a few changes yesterday we were able to improve in some areas but also struggled in some other areas. I’m really happy with the progress that we’ve made over the weekend and the team has been awesome. I can’t wait to get to New Jersey!”

Kyle Wyman struggles at The Ridge as Zanetti makes a strong MotoAmerica impression

Sunnyvale, Calif. – Kyle Wyman (OneCure/KWR Ducati Team) suffered a tough race weekend at round five of the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington, as Yamaha’s Cameron Beaubier took both race wins.

The lead Ducati protagonist in the MotoAmerica Superbike series suffered a high-speed crash during Thursday’s pre-race test session, the rebuilding process ensuring Wyman didn’t get any track time on Friday and missed Superpole.

That meant he was last on the grid for both Superbike races, and a massive turn one pile-up saw not just Wyman but a number of riders hit the deck, the crash wrecking his newly rebuilt Ducati Panigale V4 R.

As a result of the two crashes and the critical shortage of parts, Wyman and the OneCure/KWR Ducati Team decided to pull out of race two and focus on rebuilding ahead of the New Jersey Motorsports Park round in two weeks’ time.

Down pit lane in the Celtic HSBK Racing Ducati team, MotoAmerica debutant Lorenzo Zanetti made a good impression as he took the Panigale V4 R to sixth in Superpole, followed by a seventh in race one. He was running inside the top seven again in race two but was forced to retire with a mechanical issue.

The Italian former WorldSSP racer and current Ducati Corse test rider proved the competitiveness of the Panigale V4 R in largely stock racing trim and is hopeful of a series return before the 2020 season is out.

“I was too far back to see it happening,” Wyman said of the race one crash, “and by the time I realized people were scattering I had my front wheel taken out. I got run over, pushed around, it was a mess down there.

“We decided on Saturday night to pull the pin on racing today,” Wyman continued. “We’ve got to make sure we’re OK for the rest of the year, so we have to put ourselves in a position that we make the most of what’s left. Gridding up in last and maybe fighting for a few points, I don’t think, is worth the risk of being taken out again. We’re going to gather it up, and put together a plan for the rest of the year because the rounds are stacked up on top of each other so we have to be ready.”

Lorenzo Zanetti (Celtic HSBK Racing Ducati — #87 Ducati)

“We lost a lot of oil from the bike,” Zanetti said after recording a DNF in race two. “I’m lucky, because from the beginning (of the race) I had a bit of problem with the temperature, maybe a small engine problem. We’re not sure if it was a problem from yesterday in the race. But I continued in race one, where we got seventh, and first of the Stock 1000 guys.

“My first MotoAmerica experience was not too bad,” Zanetti continued. “I like the championship, it has quite a good atmosphere, and this is nice. The championship has good potential. Also, the team wants to make some more improvements, but they know what we need if we are to compete for the win.”

Fifth Top 10 of the season for Bradley Ward who rips it at Ridge Motorsports Park

Bradley Ward was back in the top ten twice as the 2020 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship debuted at the Ridge Motorsports Park in the Pacific North West, albeit behind closed doors (with no fans).

The lack of support track side didn’t slow the British rider down, and despite a small spill in Practice on Friday the #57 FLY Racing ADR Motorsports Kawasaki rider lined up thirteenth and twelfth on the grid for the two races at the technically demanding 2.5 mile circuit.

A red flag on lap one of the opening encounter saw a reduction in laps (17 to 13), with Ward coming home tenth, a couple of seconds from the top eight! Sunday’s second race once again saw Ward in the mix. He eventually crossed the line ninth, securing his fifth top ten finish of his ‘rookie’ Superbike season!

Bradley Ward: “I didn’t make Superpole so started Race 1 from the fifth row. I was a lot more comfortable with the bike after we made some changes in Warm-Up and was able to make a good start – I think I was eighth. There was a big pile up and the race was red flagged. I made another solid start in the restart and was sixth or seventh into the first few corners. On the third or fourth lap I caught my knee at Turn 6, which is a long sweeping left hander. I ripped my knee slider off, so from then on it was pretty difficult as I rely on my slider quite a lot for feeling. I was lapping consistently but I do believe that I would have been able to run a faster pace had it not been for the earlier incident. Sunday I was moved up to twelfth on the grid. I was on the outside but made a good start. I was seventh and then got hit, so I have a nice tyre mark on my leathers – there was definitely a bit of rubbing at Turn 1. Uribe (Jayson) passed me and I didn’t have the pace to run with him. My pace was similar to Saturday, but I was unable to get into the ‘43s. In the end it was another top ten, more points and I kept it upright. There was a lot of carnage, so we have to be happy that we were able to go to a new track, learn it and come away with two good results.”

Crash on Friday, Podium on Sunday – Aguilar rebounds at Ridge Motorsports Park

Jason Aguilar has taken his second career MotoAmerica Supersport podium!

A monster crash in first qualifying at The Ridge Motorsports Park may have put Jason Aguilar on the back foot as the 2020 MotoAmerica series made its first visit to the Pacific North West but the hard charging #96 Riderzlaw Yamaha rider dug deep and after rebuilding the bike including some last minute changes after yet more issues in Saturday morning’s Warm Up session he was able to bring it home in seventh and third places respectively in the weekend’s two to consolidate his fourth in the overall classification.

Saturday’s race was a lonely affair, but Jason knew that points make prizes and rode sensibly to add nine championship points to his tally. Sunday however was a different story. Lapping significantly faster than the previous day, he was able to latch on in the early stages to the leading group after avoiding the mayhem on the opening lap that saw several riders fall. A perfectly executed race from start to finish resulted in a podium finish and this one meant everything with actually able to take his place in winners circle.

Jason Aguilar: “Saturday was a crazy day. I was trying to put down a good time. After Friday’s crash something didn’t feel right. I was able to qualify tenth, but I knew something was wrong. A further check revealed that the forks and the triple clamps were bent so whilst that explained what I was feeling on track meant even more work for us before Race 1. We just made the race, so I want to say a massive thanks to my whole crew. I was so tired and stressed before the race and I was able to bring it home in seventh. It took me a few laps to get used to things again. I did the best I could under the circumstances and considering the day and half we had I was satisfied. I didn’t get the best start on Sunday. I saw all the chaos happen ahead. I thought there would be a red flag but there wasn’t. I was running fourth and the gap between me and Silva (Lucas) was staying pretty constant. I saw Paasch (Brandon) go down and that put me into third. I had a big gap behind me and after the weekend I’d had I decided to cruise it in. It’s great to be on the podium but I’m not happy with how I rode. I want to be on the podium without others crashing. For sure the podium is great, but I want more, and I’ll be giving it everything next time out to beat the guys straight up!”

SUZUKI RIDERS DOMINATE AT RIDGE MOTORSPORTS PARK

Brea, CA (August 31, 2020) – M4 ECSTAR Suzuki, Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.’s official MotoAmerica race program, and Altus Motorsports Suzuki’s Cam Petersen reigned victorious in the series’ first-ever visit to Ridge Motorsports Park.At the conclusion of an eventful weekend, Suzuki teams left Shelton, Washington, with seven additional podium trophies in their possession, highlighted by Sean Dylan Kelly’s dominant win in Sunday’s MotoAmerica Supersport race and Cam Petersen’s thrilling victory in the Stock 1000 class.

‘SDK’ was in spectacular form throughout the weekend, securing the pole aboard his M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R600, trading haymakers up front en route to a Saturday second, and then racing home with an 18-plus-second margin of victory on Sunday.

The Florida native sprinted ahead at the start, which crucially moved him clear of a first-turn incident just behind his rear wheel. He then pressed forward with a punishing pace, which broke the challenge of another rival, opening the path to a walkaway win.

“I’m happy to be in the P1 spot and pick up 25 points,” Kelly said. “I wasn’t too aware of what was going on behind me. I did hear something in the first corner, and it sounded really close so I thought it might be one of the guys right behind me. I just focused on my own race and went as hard as I could. I definitely had a better pace compared to yesterday.”

“I’m really happy to get my second victory on the season, but we know we still have work to do. We have a long way to go to get what we want this season. We’re working really hard, and I want to give a huge thanks to my whole M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team for believing in me.”

Adding to the team’s joy was the fact that Kelly’s ever-improving Supersport stablemate, Lucas Silva, gave M4 ECSTAR Suzuki a magnificent 1-2 in the race.

Silva did well to avoid the early-race drama and then demonstrated a hot race pace more than a half-second stronger than his qualifying best.

The runner-up result marks Silva’s first career MotoAmerica Supersport podium and continues his perfect season streak of top 10s, including a Saturday sixth.

He said, “Honestly, I have no words. With everything that happened in the race, I had to keep my focus. I tried to do my best to hang with the leaders in the first few laps, and once I saw there wasn’t anyone behind me, I just maintained my pace.

“Man, I don’t even know what to say. This is amazing. I did the whole cool down lap smiling and crying. Thank you to everyone.”

Another standout performer mounted on a Suzuki GSX-R was Altus Motorsports’ Cam Petersen, who dominated the weekend in the Stock 1000 class. Petersen won pole and then took charge of the red-flagged race to win by over ten seconds.

“We’ve made some pretty big steps this weekend with the motorcycle and the way it handles,” Petersen said. “It’s made me feel more at home, It feels like it’s my motorcycle now. It’s been nothing but good vibes this weekend.”

Meanwhile, in the premier MotoAmerica Superbike class, Bobby Fong collected a pair of thirds that were as impressive as victories under normal circumstances.

Fong put on a brave face despite still riding in considerable pain after injuring his left hand at the previous round. Despite the added difficulty, the Californian put up a serious fight in both races. He battled for second to the last lap on Saturday, and then did the same on Sunday, registering his fastest lap of the entire weekend on the final lap to close to within a half-second of second place.

Fong said, “What can I say? My M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSXR-1000 made me look good. This double podium definitely feels like a win after going down in Pittsburgh. I’ve got to give it up to the Lord, my crew, my coach, and all the doctors looking after me this weekend.”

Former series champion Toni Elias finished fifth on the track each time out, including a spirited battle in Sunday’s race that saw him make a pass for position on the last lap. Elias was docked one spot, however, when he ran straight through the turn one chicane after the race was over and was classified in sixth.

With all the highs, the team also suffered a low on the weekend. The meteoric rise of Alex Dumas was placed on a temporary pause when he suffered a broken bone in his right arm after getting caught up in a first-corner incident in Saturday’s Superbike contest.

As a result, the French Canadian was unable to take his front-row grid position and seek his maiden Stock 1000 race win in Sunday’s class contest.

Rocco Landers won the 12-lap Twins Cup race at the Ridge, bringing home his Sportbike TrackGear.com Suzuki seven seconds ahead of the competition.

After the race, polesitter Landers said, “My SportbikeTrackGear.com/Roadracing World Suzuki SV650 has been awesome this weekend. The team worked super hard prepping the bike and getting it ready for the race and we made the right tire choice. It’s only due to a few small hiccups that we’re not leading this championship right now, so we’re just going to keep pushing and keep pushing and see what we can do.”

M4 ECSTAR Suzuki, Altus Motorsports, and the rest of the MotoAmerica paddock will now travel across the country for Round 6 of the 2020 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing at New Jersey Motorsports Park on September 11-13.

Aprilia Introduces 221-Horsepower Tuono V4 X

APRILIA TUONO V4 X 

A NEW GEM FROM APRILIA RACING

CONCEIVED FOR THE MOST FUN ON THE TRACK, IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND LIGHTEST HYPERNAKED IN THE WORLD: 221 HP AND 166 KG

IT IS THE EXCLUSIVE VERSION OF THE INIMITABLE TUONO V4: BORN OUT OF RACING TECHNOLOGY, IT ADOPTS SOLUTIONS DERIVED FROM MOTOGP AND IS MADE IN A LIMITED SERIES

After the success achieved by Aprilia RSV4 X, the special version of the supersport bike from Noale, one of the most powerful and lightest ever, of which 10 available units were assigned in just a few hours, Aprilia is back to advancing the extraordinary V4 project, presenting a truly unique version of the Tuono V4, the hypernaked par excellence.

Introducing Aprilia Tuono V4 X, the exclusive “super Tuono” produced in a numbered and limited edition, developed and assembled directly by Aprilia Racing, the factory with 54 world titles, seven of which were won in the World SBK championship specifically with the narrow V4 engine.

Thanks to the painstaking care of Aprilia Racing, the most advanced Piaggio Group platform for motorcycle technology development, Tuono V4 X is now a true high-handlebar racing bike, capable of providing an exclusive riding experience and great thrills, reserved for the most advanced and demanding consumer.

Considering the fact that, since its birth in 2011, the Tuono V4 has been deemed the best hypernaked on the track, you can just imagine the credentials of the Tuono V4 X, capable of lapping with a pace of 1’50” at Imola in the able hands of Aprilia rider Lorenzo Savadori, during development entrusted to him: “It is the most fun bike I’ve ever ridden. In my opinion, the mix of comfort and performance is unique. The insane engine is also easy to manage, both for experts and novices, and the aerodynamics package provides incredible stability for a naked. I think that the Tuono V4 X has once again created a new segment.”

With the performance and thrills that Tuono V4 X is capable of providing, Aleix Espargaró also caught the fever, the Aprilia Racing team MotoGP rider who put it through its paces on the Austrian Red Bull Ring circuit: “The Tuono V4 X is out of this world. I had never tested a high-handlebar bike on the track and I was surprised at the feeling of stability. The engine is insane, but the chassis architecture doesn’t struggle – to the contrary: the riding position and the electronics make it extremely fun. You can ride it cleanly, but you can also drift with it if you want to. It is a pure sportbike with a hooligan side!”

The experience that the Racing Department from Noale has in the top championships contributed to the development of the Aprilia Tuono V4 X: for the first time on a bike of this type, the generous front aerodynamic appendage in carbon has been introduced, clearly derived from the one fitted on the Aprilia RS-GP used in MotoGP. This choice contributes to increasing stability at high speeds and in the critical phases of braking and acceleration.

The goal of making this special Tuono a true high-handlebar racing bike exclusively for track use was achieved in full, thanks to a skilled job of general lightening, which reached the exceptional landmark of 166 kg dry weight on the scales, specs that are rather close to those of MotoGP prototypes.

All the fairings are in carbon, enhanced by the dedicated “Bol d’Or” graphic, inspired by the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory which participated in the 2006 edition of the legendary French endurance race. The fuel tank is the same shape as the original, but it is lighter, while the factory electrical system has been simplified. Another obviously sports-derived element is the racing panel via which to adjust the main electronic controls of the Tuono V4 X. There are numerous billet aluminium parts that contribute to lowering the weight, such as the clutch lever, the brake lever guard, the engine crankcase guards, the adjustable footpegs and the fuel cap. The Marchesini wheel rims in forged magnesium, shod with racing slicks, provide the added value of handling that is out of reach even for fairing-covered supersport bikes.

The engine is derived from the unit that successfully equips the RSV4 1100 Factory. The Akrapovic exhaust system features titanium collectors and a carbon outlet, while the air filter is a Sprint Filter element, specifically the air filter that offers the highest permeability of those available on the market (as well as being waterproof), the same unit that Aprilia Racing uses in MotoGP.

Electronic fine-tuning is guaranteed by the ECU which has been revamped in terms of logic and functions, featuring engine control and vehicle dynamics maps developed by Aprilia Racing. The engine maps are all “full power” and optimised for the racing exhaust system. The engine brake, traction control and anti-wheelie levels are specifically designed for use on the track. It comes standard with the electronic gearbox (including downshifting) and the colour TFT instrument cluster reprogrammed with lap time display using the built-in GPS sensor.

The maximum power of the V4 from Noale increases from the 217 HP of the factory unit to the value of 221 HP measured at the crank. Performance that can be fully exploited thanks to the proverbial quality of a frame which is heir to a dynasty that won 18 titles and 143 Grand Prix races in the 250 class and the advanced semi-active Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension system.

The Brembo braking system is also entirely racing, thanks to the use of refined and extremely effective GP4-MS billet aluminium calipers that grip a pair of steel discs with T-Drive technology and are controlled by a 19×16 radial master cylinder, also made in billet aluminium.

Each Aprilia Tuono V4 X unit, available at a price of €34,900, can already be reserved exclusively online by going to the Aprilia website. Buyers will be able to pick up their unit directly from Aprilia Racing, simultaneously with an exclusive tour of the racing department in Noale, and they will receive a dedicated KYT NX-Race helmet with a graphic inspired by the bike’s graphics.

Tuono V4 X is part of the Factory Works program launched by Aprilia Racing: unique in the world, it takes the same technology developed in competitive racing and makes it available to those planning to compete at high level in factory derivative championships or to those who want an RSV4 or a Tuono V4 with performance optimised for track use.

Althea Racing ends its World Superbike season

Monday 31 August 2020

Althea Racing announces its decision to terminate with immediate effect the partnership with MIE Honda Racing and to end in advance its participation in the 2020 World Superbike Championship.

Althea is sorry to note that the collaboration with MIE Racing, which started under the best auspices in the 2019-2020 sports season, did not produce sporting and image results suitable with the profile and prestige that have always distinguished the Althea Racing commitment, having come to miss the technical and contractual basis.

Althea Racing will continue to operate in the CIV Championship (Campionato Italiano Velocità) and will shortly communicate its international programs.
 

Genesio Bevilacqua, Althea Racing Team Principal “Despite having given the utmost commitment regardless the criticalities of the period, we take note of the irremediable technical and contractual incompatibilities. Althea Racing, in respect of its partners, sponsors and the same staff, cannot ignore the quality standards that have always distinguished its activity, and thanks to which have been achieved sporting and image results that have placed the Team at the top of international motorsport.

“For Althea and myself, always engaged in enhancing the staff and the young riders lined up on the track, it is unthinkable to continue when missing the aforementioned conditions.
For this reason, despite the passion that has always made our sporting heart beat, we must stop a project that we reckon has no future. I wish Midori Moriwaki good luck for the sporting and professional future.”

Featured In the August 2020 issue of Roadracing World: Harley-Davidson Museum

        Harley-Davidson has a 110-plus-year history of producing motorcycles and promoting the two-wheel culture. It is one of the most recognizable brands in the world, but for most of that time, the company had kept its story and extensive archives largely to itself. That all changed in 2008 when The Motor Company opened the Harley-Davidson Museum, a purpose-built 150,000-sq. ft. multi-use facility on a 20-acre campus near downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

 

At the Harley-Davidson Museum near Milwaukee, a photo in the reception hall, sourced from a private collector, shows attendees at the 1919 Harley-Davidson dealer show wearing face masks due to the Spanish Flu pandemic.
