American Tyler Scott Joins Estrella Galicia 0,0 Team For European Talent Cup

American Tyler Scott has signed to compete for Monlau Competicion’s Estrella Galicia 0,0 Team in the 2020 European Talent Cup.

 

Prior to 2019, Scott won an AMA Moto3 Road Race Grand Championship, a WERA Formula Three National Challenge Championship, two WERA Sportsman regional Championships, five CCS regional Championships, six AMA Flat Track Grand National Championships, and was named AMA Flat Track Youth Rider of the Year…twice.

 

Then in 2019, Scott was selected to be the sole American in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, replacing the graduating Sean Dylan Kelly.

 

Scott, however, endured a season filled with setbacks, including a high-speed crash when his front brake pads fell out and another crash that nearly cost him a finger.

As 2019 came to a close, the rider from Pennsylvania had only managed to score two top-10 finishes in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup while showing some flashes of potential but little in the way of actual results in the European Talent Cup, which runs at Repsol FIM/CEV events in between MotoGP rounds.

 

This lack of standout results led to Scott not being offered a ride in the 2020 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, and he and his father Mike Scott thought their time racing in Europe was over.

 

“Finishing the year out we weren’t sure we were coming back and we were looking toward coming back to the U.S.,” said Mike Scott. “I had spent a bunch of money to race in the European Talent Cup, and we couldn’t afford to do that again. So we were planning on coming home and doing some dirt track racing and racing in the MotoAmerica Junior Cup. Then, we got approached from a friend of ours who worked on the Estrella Galicia [0,0] team.”

 

Estrella Galicia 0,0 is the beer brand that sponsors some teams fielded by Monlau Competicion. Monlau Competicion runs the Monlau Repsol Technical School for motorsports technicians and in parallel runs the Monlau Competicion Rider Development Program, which has teams in the RFME (Spanish) National series, the Repsol FIM/CEV International Series, and the FIM Moto3 World Championship. And Monlau Competicion and Estrella Galicia are partners in the Marc VDS Racing Moto2 World Championship and MotoE World Cup.

 

Some of the riders who have come through the Monlau Competicion Rider Development Program include: Francesco Bagnaia, Aleix and Pol Espargaro, Jorge Lorenzo, Alex and Marc Marquez, Tito Rabat, and Alex Rins – to name a few.

 

“It’s awesome. I can’t fully realize how good this deal is right now,” Tyler Scott told Roadracingworld.com in a telephone interview. “Last year, I never rode with kids that ride at the level they ride at, and they ride differently. But overall, it was a good learning season. I learned a lot and it made me become a better rider. Now, I’m looking forward to the 2020 season because I know I’ll do better and learn a lot more.”

Featured In January/February: Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing

Featured In the January/February 2020 issue of Roadracing World:

Almost 10 years ago, Roadracing World featured Richard Stanboli, his aftermarket parts manufacturing business Attack Performance, and his then-newly-established Attack Tuning Center in “Shops.”

The story chronicled how Stanboli–a former U.S. Army Infantry officer, former racer, and current engineer–built his company by using innovative engineering to solve problems, go quicker, and succeed in racing. And succeed he has.

At the time of our original article in the October 2011 issue, Stanboli and his riders had won five AMA Pro Championships and the Daytona 200 twice. And at that time, Stanboli had recently switched from running factory-backed and/or manufacturer satellite teams to running his own privateer efforts in David-versus-Goliath campaigns against those same factory-level efforts.

Stanboli continued to succeed…and now he’s running Yamaha’s Superbike program in MotoAmerica!

–SHOPS: Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing

 

Richard Stanboli is the Don Quixote of America motorcycle road racing, charging into competition against bigger, better-financed opponents and succeeding far more often than the odds would suggest. Now’s he’s joined forces with Yamaha to run the company’s  official MotoAmerica Superbike program in 2020.

American Flat Track: HCRR Racing/Ben Evans Racing Announces Its 2020 Riders

HCRR Racing / Ben Evans Racing to Debut Two-Rider AFT SuperTwins Team

Three-time 2019 winner Robinson and No. 12 Maloney to team up on FTR750s

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 14, 2020) – HCRR Racing / Ben Evans Racing, backed by Roof Systems of Dallas, Texas, announced today its premiere in the AFT SuperTwins class with seasoned riders Brandon Robinson and Jay Maloney piloting its FTR750 machinery.

 

“I could not be more excited to join AFT as a team owner in 2020,” said Jim Hudson, Team Owner of HCRR Racing. “We’ve joined forces with Ben Evans Racing and Roof Systems of Dallas, Texas and between all of the talent we’ve got, we are confident we can win at every event. I’ve been a fan of flat track racing my entire life, so this is a dream come true for me.”

 

Known as one of the most consistent riders on the circuit, Robinson started 2019 – his inaugural year on the championship-winning FTR750 – with three wins at the Atlanta Short Track, Texas Half-Mile and So-Cal Half-Mile.

 

“I am pumped about the 2020 season,” said Robinson. “I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity. Riding for HCRR Racing and Ben Evans Racing with help from Roof Systems gives me the resources to be a real challenger for the SuperTwins championship.”

 

Earning his national number in 2014, Maloney has been competing in AFT’s premier class as both a rider and team owner for five years. His addition to the HCRR roster for 2020 will enable him to focus on his performance on the racetrack.

 

“I am extremely excited to be involved with HCRR Racing and Ben Evans Racing in 2020,” said Maloney. “The past few years I have been putting in a lot of work running my own program. I was driving, working on bikes and worrying about setting up programs for the following season. Being a part of a team like HCRR backed by Roof Systems means I can focus on the task-at-hand: strong Main finishes. It is going to be a great year for us in the SuperTwins class.”

 

“We are very excited about all of the SuperTwins riders we are supporting,” said Jerry Stinchfield, CEO and Team Owner of Roof Systems of Dallas, Texas. “Brandon is one of the strongest riders out there – he got three wins last season, and Jay is a seasoned vet. These two, plus Price and Bromley on the Roof Systems team will really give those other guys a run for their money at every track.”

Ducati Leaks New “Project 1708”

The email read:

“Dedicated to all dreamers

“This is a very special moment for Ducati, and for me personally.

“It is the moment in which we invite all our most passionate customers to share something truly unique.

“Every product we craft is a declaration of our lust for perfection. But none is comparable to Project 1708.

“In this project, we model the most advanced carbon fibre into futuristic aerodynamic-driven shapes. Here we realize our dreams as engineers, manufacturers and passionate riders.

“Project 1708 is a true statement, this is where we draw the line between trying and doing. It is our foremost pioneristic creature.

“And I am very proud to present you to this private website, where you will be introduced step by step to every aspect of this bike, from the deepest secrets to the most refined details of this masterpiece of engineering and design.

“Welcome to Project 1708.”

“Claudio Domenicali

“Ducati Motor Holding CEO.”

 

The email also included a link to the private website, which the addressee of the email could use their email address to create an account to gain access.

Roadracing World was not able to gain access to that website, but according to sources with close connections to Ducati in Italy, “Project 1708” is a Panigale V4 Superleggera.

The Panigale V4 Superleggera will a be lighter, more powerful, and much more expensive carbon-fiber-clad version of a Panigale V4.

Unconfirmed reports state a claimed dry weight of 335 pounds (152 kg), claimed engine output of 234 horsepower (with the included racing exhaust installed), and a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) in the U.S. of $100,000.

American Tyler Scott Joins Estrella Galicia 0,0 Team For European Talent Cup

American Tyler Scott has signed to compete for Monlau Competicion’s Estrella Galicia 0,0 Team in the 2020 European Talent Cup.

 

Prior to 2019, Scott won an AMA Moto3 Road Race Grand Championship, a WERA Formula Three National Challenge Championship, two WERA Sportsman regional Championships, five CCS regional Championships, six AMA Flat Track Grand National Championships, and was named AMA Flat Track Youth Rider of the Year…twice.

 

Then in 2019, Scott was selected to be the sole American in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, replacing the graduating Sean Dylan Kelly.

 

Scott, however, endured a season filled with setbacks, including a high-speed crash when his front brake pads fell out and another crash that nearly cost him a finger.

As 2019 came to a close, the rider from Pennsylvania had only managed to score two top-10 finishes in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup while showing some flashes of potential but little in the way of actual results in the European Talent Cup, which runs at Repsol FIM/CEV events in between MotoGP rounds.

 

This lack of standout results led to Scott not being offered a ride in the 2020 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, and he and his father Mike Scott thought their time racing in Europe was over.

 

“Finishing the year out we weren’t sure we were coming back and we were looking toward coming back to the U.S.,” said Mike Scott. “I had spent a bunch of money to race in the European Talent Cup, and we couldn’t afford to do that again. So we were planning on coming home and doing some dirt track racing and racing in the MotoAmerica Junior Cup. Then, we got approached from a friend of ours who worked on the Estrella Galicia [0,0] team.”

 

Estrella Galicia 0,0 is the beer brand that sponsors some teams fielded by Monlau Competicion. Monlau Competicion runs the Monlau Repsol Technical School for motorsports technicians and in parallel runs the Monlau Competicion Rider Development Program, which has teams in the RFME (Spanish) National series, the Repsol FIM/CEV International Series, and the FIM Moto3 World Championship. And Monlau Competicion and Estrella Galicia are partners in the Marc VDS Racing Moto2 World Championship and MotoE World Cup.

 

Some of the riders who have come through the Monlau Competicion Rider Development Program include: Francesco Bagnaia, Aleix and Pol Espargaro, Jorge Lorenzo, Alex and Marc Marquez, Tito Rabat, and Alex Rins – to name a few.

 

“It’s awesome. I can’t fully realize how good this deal is right now,” Tyler Scott told Roadracingworld.com in a telephone interview. “Last year, I never rode with kids that ride at the level they ride at, and they ride differently. But overall, it was a good learning season. I learned a lot and it made me become a better rider. Now, I’m looking forward to the 2020 season because I know I’ll do better and learn a lot more.”

The story chronicled how Stanboli–a former U.S. Army Infantry officer, former racer, and current engineer–built his company by using innovative engineering to solve problems, go quicker, and succeed in racing. And succeed he has.

At the time of our original article in the October 2011 issue, Stanboli and his riders had won five AMA Pro Championships and the Daytona 200 twice. And at that time, Stanboli had recently switched from running factory-backed and/or manufacturer satellite teams to running his own privateer efforts in David-versus-Goliath campaigns against those same factory-level efforts.

Stanboli continued to succeed…and now he’s running Yamaha’s Superbike program in MotoAmerica!

–SHOPS: Monster Energy Attack Performance Yamaha Racing

 

Richard Stanboli is the Don Quixote of America motorcycle road racing, charging into competition against bigger, better-financed opponents and succeeding far more often than the odds would suggest. Now’s he’s joined forces with Yamaha to run the company’s  official MotoAmerica Superbike program in 2020. Read the details of a seismic shift in U.S. road racing in the latest issue of Roadracing World!

Inaugural Northern Talent Cup riders and calendar confirmed

More than ten different nationalities set to contest seven rounds across four countries in the new Northern Talent Cup

Both the list of selected riders and the calendar for the inaugural season of the Northern Talent Cup have now been confirmed, with the NTC set to visit four countries in a seven-round 2020 season. 24 competitors, both male and female, will represent 11 countries in the first year of the new Cup, with more than 15 teams set to make up the grid.

A pre-season test at Oschersleben in Germany is the first track action of the year in early April, before Round 1 takes places two weeks later at the iconic TT Circuit Assen as the NTC race alongside the Dutch round of WorldSBK. In May, Round 2 takes the Cup to Austria as they race the Red Bull Ring with the IDM, and in June there are two rounds, both in Germany: first up it’s Speedweek at Oschersleben from the 4th to 6th of June, before the NTC compete alongside MotoGP™ for the first time as part of the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring.

After summer break, the NTC is back with a bang at Brno as the Cup once again races alongside MotoGP™, this time in Czechia, before Rounds 6 and 7 see the Cup round out the season alongside the IDM back in Germany. The Lausitzring hosts the penultimate round from the 11th to 13th September, before the season finale sees the NTC take on classic Hockenheim from the 25th to 27th September.

Motorcycle Industry Council Members Elect New Directors

IRVINE, Calif. – Motorcycle Industry Council members elected two new directors for the organization’s board, and re-elected secretary/treasurer Jim Woodruff for another two-year term.

“It is time we all dig deep, together, and truly put motorcycling first,” Lopusnak said. “We need to first challenge every OEM and dealer and, as a group, take this exact step and set this as the foundation moving forward.”

Woodruff echoed those sentiments. “Our entire industry needs to work together to help consumers discover the joys of riding, which means recruiting more companies to become MIC members, expanding rider training programs, focusing our data and research efforts, and continuing our outstanding government relations efforts.”

HCRR Racing / Ben Evans Racing to Debut Two-Rider AFT SuperTwins Team

Three-time 2019 winner Robinson and No. 12 Maloney to team up on FTR750s

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 14, 2020) – HCRR Racing / Ben Evans Racing, backed by Roof Systems of Dallas, Texas, announced today its premiere in the AFT SuperTwins class with seasoned riders Brandon Robinson and Jay Maloney piloting its FTR750 machinery.

 

“I could not be more excited to join AFT as a team owner in 2020,” said Jim Hudson, Team Owner of HCRR Racing. “We’ve joined forces with Ben Evans Racing and Roof Systems of Dallas, Texas and between all of the talent we’ve got, we are confident we can win at every event. I’ve been a fan of flat track racing my entire life, so this is a dream come true for me.”

 

Known as one of the most consistent riders on the circuit, Robinson started 2019 – his inaugural year on the championship-winning FTR750 – with three wins at the Atlanta Short Track, Texas Half-Mile and So-Cal Half-Mile.

 

“I am pumped about the 2020 season,” said Robinson. “I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity. Riding for HCRR Racing and Ben Evans Racing with help from Roof Systems gives me the resources to be a real challenger for the SuperTwins championship.”

 

Earning his national number in 2014, Maloney has been competing in AFT’s premier class as both a rider and team owner for five years. His addition to the HCRR roster for 2020 will enable him to focus on his performance on the racetrack.

 

“I am extremely excited to be involved with HCRR Racing and Ben Evans Racing in 2020,” said Maloney. “The past few years I have been putting in a lot of work running my own program. I was driving, working on bikes and worrying about setting up programs for the following season. Being a part of a team like HCRR backed by Roof Systems means I can focus on the task-at-hand: strong Main finishes. It is going to be a great year for us in the SuperTwins class.”

 

“We are very excited about all of the SuperTwins riders we are supporting,” said Jerry Stinchfield, CEO and Team Owner of Roof Systems of Dallas, Texas. “Brandon is one of the strongest riders out there – he got three wins last season, and Jay is a seasoned vet. These two, plus Price and Bromley on the Roof Systems team will really give those other guys a run for their money at every track.”

Recently, Ducati sent emails directly to a select group of customers and enthusiasts inviting them to follow the development of its new “Project 1708” via a special website.

The email read:

“Dedicated to all dreamers

“This is a very special moment for Ducati, and for me personally.

“It is the moment in which we invite all our most passionate customers to share something truly unique.

“Every product we craft is a declaration of our lust for perfection. But none is comparable to Project 1708.

“In this project, we model the most advanced carbon fibre into futuristic aerodynamic-driven shapes. Here we realize our dreams as engineers, manufacturers and passionate riders.

“Project 1708 is a true statement, this is where we draw the line between trying and doing. It is our foremost pioneristic creature.

“And I am very proud to present you to this private website, where you will be introduced step by step to every aspect of this bike, from the deepest secrets to the most refined details of this masterpiece of engineering and design.

“Welcome to Project 1708.”

“Claudio Domenicali

“Ducati Motor Holding CEO.”

 

The email also included a link to the private website, which the addressee of the email could use their email address to create an account to gain access.

Roadracing World was not able to gain access to that website, but according to sources with close connections to Ducati in Italy, “Project 1708” is a Panigale V4 Superleggera.

The Panigale V4 Superleggera will a be lighter, more powerful, and much more expensive carbon-fiber-clad version of a Panigale V4.

Unconfirmed reports state a claimed dry weight of 335 pounds (152 kg), claimed engine output of 234 horsepower (with the included racing exhaust installed), and a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) in the U.S. of $100,000. Production is expected to be very limited with deliveries starting in May 2020.

Stay tuned for more details.
