UtahSBA: Duncan Biles Wins King Of The Mountain Race At UMC

Round 5 of the Utah Sport Bike Association Law Tigers Masters of the Mountains Road Racing series was held on September 14-15 at Utah Motorsports Campus’ 3.048-mile Perimeter configuration in Grantsville, Utah. Expert racer Duncan Biles of Biles Performance Racing was able to realize a personal goal as he secured his first career victory in the premier class this past weekend.

Duncan had this to say about his race victory: “It was a relief to finally be the first one to the checkered flag in the Moto Station King of the Mountain race. I’ve been in the mix all season, but there are so many great riders in the KOM race it’s really hard to win. We made some changes before qualifying that helped put us on the front row. I had a great start, and I wanted to build a gap before I picked up the brake-fade we struggled with the whole weekend on this insanely fast perimeter track. When I realized I was the first through turn one, I just put my head down and pushed hard to the finish.”

With a heavy heart expert racer Kellen Birch continued his successful campaign with three wins and a second place. “Friday night during registration I got the sad news that my Aunt Vicki had passed away. That weighed heavily on me all day Saturday and Sunday and had a hard time getting into a rhythm in the practice sessions. I tried to use that as fuel for my races and I ended up with a great weekend. I have to give a big thank you to my sponsors Trackstar Racing and Dunlop Tires. Thanks to Kory Cowan and Shane Turpin for helping me with a couple of things that were slowing me down, and to my teammate James Powelson for always pushing me.”

Round 6 will be held September 28-29, 2019 at Utah Motorsports Campus’ West Configuration. Registration is open now for this event. Register before September 20, 2019, to receive the early-bird discount rate for race Round 6. Visit www.motorsportsreg.com to register today.

MotoAmerica: Westby Racing Previews The Season Finale At Barber Motorsports Park

“Finish Strong” Is The Mantra For Mathew Scholtz And Westby Racing This Weekend At MotoAmerica’s Season-Ender

Tulsa, OK – September 18, 2019 – The 10th and final round of the 2019 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship begins on Friday at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, and Mathew Scholtz and the Westby Racing team are determined to finish out the season with two podium results on Barber’s 2.38-mile, 17-turn road course.

It’s a track on which Mathew has had a lot of success, highlighted by his historic 2017 Superbike race victory aboard his #11 Westby Racing Yamaha YZF-R1 when the bike was in Superstock 1000 trim.

Currently ranked sixth in the 2019 Superbike standings, Mathew and the team have a good chance to move up to fifth and possibly even fourth in the rankings, depending on how things go in the two Superbike races at Barber.

“It’s been a bit of a tough season for us coming to grips with the new Superbike electronics,” admitted Mathew. “But, we’ve made progress all season long. Our results at the last couple of rounds have been more where we expect to be, especially finishing on the podium in race two at New Jersey. We’d like to get a couple more podiums this weekend and hopefully move up a position or two in the final Championship standings. The track at Barber has been repaved, so that could be a bit of an equalizer. The advantage goes to the teams that can adapt the quickest and best to the new surface, make the right tire choices, and manage tire life. I’ve got full confidence in the Westby team and myself that we can face these unknowns and use them to our advantage.”

Superbike race one will go green on Saturday at 3 PM Central Time, and Superbike race two is on Sunday also at 3 PM Central Time. Both races will be broadcast on FOX Sports 2 (FS2) and streamed on MotoAmerica Live+.

Meet Mathew, Get An Autographed Poster, And More

On Saturday from 12 to 12:45 PM, Mathew will be available for autographs at the Westby Racing transporter in the Barber Motorsports Park paddock during the Dunlop Paddock Autograph Session. The Dunlop Hot Pit Walk & Autograph Session, which takes place on pit lane at Barber on Sunday from 11 to 11:45 AM, is another great opportunity to meet Mathew. He’ll be handing out free, autographed posters and other team items, and you can also get your picture taken with him, as well as with Lacy Contreras, the Westby Racing brand ambassador.

Check Out The Westby Racing Sponsor Showcase

Beta Tools, Livengood Motor Sports, SBS Brakes, Superbike Unlimited LLC, Vigilante Associates, and Yoshimura R&D of America, Inc. will be the featured team sponsors on display in the Westby Racing paddock area, so be sure to stop by, say hello, and find out more about some of the companies that support the team.

The 2019 Westby Racing Golden Ticket Winner Will Be At Barber

Natasha Nelson is the 2019 Westby Racing Golden Ticket Winner, and she and her husband Graeme Pawson will be at Barber Motorsports Park all weekend long as she collects her prizes, hangs out with Mathew and the Westby Racing team, and enjoys the experience of a lifetime.

Zero Motorcycles Announces 2020 Lineup Highlighted By DSR Black Forest Edition Adventure Model

ZERO
MOTORCYCLES CONTINUES PUSH FOR UNCHARTED ADVENTURES WITH NEW 2020 LINE OF
MOTORCYCLES

The company
redefining the electric motorcycle market is pushing for new adventures by
launching the Black Forest DSR global model as part of the revamped 2020 base-model
line.

SANTA CRUZ,
Calif., (Sept 18, 2019) – Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in electric
motorcycles and powertrains, is adding more depth to its lineup following the
release of the transformational 2020 SR/F earlier this year. Adding to the
fast-growing dual sport category, the company is reintroducing the popular EU
Black Forest DSR Adventure Bike as an all-new Global model for 2020. The 2020
Black Forest DSR joins the remaining 2020 model lineup, which all enjoy
refreshed colors, graphics and the power and precision of the Cypher II and
Cypher III operating systems.

Complementing the powerful Cypher operating
systems, every 2020 Zero Motorcycle will possess an updated Next Gen App that
provides effortless connection to a motorcycle’s custom ride modes, charging
status, updates and diagnostics.

“With the year-over-year growth of fast
charge stations around the United States, riding has become more accessible
than ever,” said Sam Paschel, CEO. “The 2020 line ensures riders can experience
their adventures and push for new places with the effortless experience of
taking their motorcycle wherever they would like to go.”

EFFORTLESS ADVENTURE

Deriving from the undisputed champion of this
category, the DSR 14.4 kWh, the DSR Black Forest Edition enters the U.S. market
as the pinnacle dual sport motorcycle in the Zero 2020 lineup. Arriving with a
history of riding success overseas, Zero now brings this EU favorite to the U.S.
equipped with three lockable cases for ample storage, accessory bars, hand guards
and a protective headlamp cover for added protection for the rider and bike.
The DSR Black Forest Edition retails for $18,995 and is available with various
Zero Motorcycles accessories and upgrades for riders to continue to push the
boundaries of the dual sport category.

Additionally, the advance of Zero Motorcycles
technology at the top of the spectrum allows for the 2020 DS model to now be
available with the 7.2 kWh battery for $10,995. The 2020 DS will sport new
colors and graphics in the Mojave colorway and will carry more adventure
essentials with its increased on-board storage, making it the ideal option for
riders looking to begin their electric dual sport riding.

The 2020 DSR will be available in new colors
and graphics styling in black and gold along with an exclusive 14.4 kWh power
pack for a price at $15,495.

For narrow paths and quicker maneuvers, the
light and nimble 2020 Zero FX is also updated with new graphics in the Dune
colorway and starts at $8,995. Zero’s focus on technology and affordability
makes the 2020 Zero Motorcycles model line the most accessible and capable way
to enjoy adventure riding.

EFFORTLESS POWER

The effortlessly powerful street line
receives a similar boost in value with the SR being equipped with a 14.4 kWh
Power Pack for $15,495. The 2020 SR is compatible with either a Charge Tank or
Power Tank and, when equipped with the Power Tank, the SR is the longest-range
motorcycle available in the 2020 line. Ideal for the first time rider looking
for an entry-level street motorcycle, the S comes exclusively with a 7.2kWh battery
for only $10,995. Not to be overlooked, the FXS also has a new look in Slate colorway
and will be available starting at $8,995.

All 2020 Zero Motorcycles models are
available at any one of the hundreds of dealerships across North America and
Europe and are shipping right now from the company’s California factory
offices.

MotoGP: Maverick Vinales Is “Extra Optimistic” Heading Into Race Weekend At Motorland Aragon

MONSTER ENERGY YAMAHA MOTOGP ANTICIPATE ACTION-PACKED ARAGON GP

The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team travelled straight from the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli to MotorLand Aragón for Round 14 of the 2019 MotoGP World Championship.

Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP riders Maverick Viñales and Valentino Rossi will be back in the saddle of their YZR-M1s this weekend for the Gran Premio Michelin de Aragón. A round that the team always thoroughly enjoys because of its great atmosphere and the loud cheers of the fans.

Viñales is in high spirits after his second-consecutive third place at the San Marino GP, making him all the more intent on gunning for another top position this weekend. The Aragon GP is a very special venue to him: it’s one of his ’home Grands Prix‘ and he has fond memories of previous editions.

The Spaniard greeted his fans from the Aragon podium three times before. He secured a third place in 2011 in the 125cc class, a Moto3 second place finish in 2013, and a Moto2 victory in 2014. He would love nothing better than adding a MotoGP podium to the set this time round.

Rossi is looking to make another step at the upcoming showdown. Following his home Grand Prix last weekend, where he took his third-consecutive fourth place, the Doctor has his heart set on a place on the podium this weekend.

The Italian acknowledges that the Aragon circuit is a difficult track for him, but he has had his fair share of success there. The Aragon round was added to the MotoGP calendar in 2010, and since then the nine-time World Champion already stood on the podium three times, securing third places in the premier class in 2013, 2015, and 2016.

The MotorLand Aragón circuit is situated near the town of Alcañiz, a few hours’ drive from Barcelona. The fast 5.1km long track has ten left and seven right corners, and a 968m longest straight. It was given the IRTA Best Grand Prix of the Year award after MotoGP‘s first visit, reflecting the riders’ and the fans’ appreciation of the venue. The event draws thousands of visitors, also because it’s the last European race before the overseas GPs in Asia and Oceania, making it a round motorsport enthusiasts don’t want to miss.

For those who want to get to know the circuit better, check out Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP eSport Rider Lorenzo Daretti’s eLap around the MotorLand Aragón. The Italian will also be present at the track this weekend to take part in the second round of the MotoGP eSport Global Series, for which two races are held on Friday, 20th September. The event will be broadcasted live from 19:00 – 20:15 (local track time: GMT+2) on the MotoGP eSport channels.

MASSIMO MEREGALLI

TEAM DIRECTOR

“We have travelled straight from the team‘s and Vale‘s home GP to Maverick’s home race. This is another significant round for all of us, as it‘s the last GP before the overseas leg. We won‘t see our European fans until the final round in Valencia, and we want to say ’Goodbye‘ to them with a good result. Maverick has built up some good momentum, having scored two third places in a row, and he really likes the Aragon track. His fans can rest assured that he will be 100% committed to get another top result this weekend. Vale is not the biggest fan of this circuit, but he too has visited the podium three times, in his case in the premier class, and he‘s very motivated to get back onto the rostrum. We expect that this weekend will require hard work and we are very interested to see if the steps forward that we took in Misano will also work very well here.”

MAVERICK VIÑALES

“After the Misano podium I‘m feeling extra optimistic about coming here in Aragon. Like every Spanish round, this GP is very special to me because the fans and atmosphere are great, and I really like this track. We have been doing good work in the previous rounds, so I expect to be fast here too. We will try to stay focused on our goal, we want to keep improving during every race weekend. We‘ve seen our potential get better and better since starting the second half of the season, so I think that we can do a good job.”

VALENTINO ROSSI

“After the race in Misano we have travelled to Aragon for a back-to-back race. We‘ve seen at the San Marino GP what we need to work on, so that‘s what we will be focusing on during this weekend – though Aragon is a difficult track for us, historically. We always struggled here, but this time we arrive after some good races. For sure we will have to work hard this GP, but we hope to be more competitive than we have been in the past.”

MotoAmerica: Season To Conclude This Coming Weekend At Recently Repaved Barber Motorsports Park

It’s Title Time For MotoAmerica

EBC Brakes Superbike And Supersport Titles To Be Decided In Finale

COSTA MESA, CA (September 18, 2019) – It all comes down to this. With just two races left in the 2019 MotoAmerica EBC Brakes Superbike Championship, Yoshimura Suzuki’s Toni Elias leads Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing’s Cameron Beaubier by 16 points as the series heads to the season finale this weekend – the Championship of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park.

By virtue of his eight wins and 14 total podiums in 18 races, Elias is at the top of the standings and trying to wrap up his second MotoAmerica Superbike title. Beaubier, meanwhile, finished second and first in the two races two weeks ago in New Jersey for his fourth win and 15thpodium of his season. While Elias can take the title with two second-place finishes if Beaubier wins both, Beaubier will need a little help from his friends to take the title.

More scenarios? If Beaubier wins both races, and Elias finishes second in one and third in the other, Elias takes the title by two points. If Beaubier wins both races and Elias is third in both, Beaubier would earn his fourth AMA Superbike title by two points. Lots of ifs ands and buts, but this championship is far from over as Elias is coming off a weekend where he finished off the podium in both races at NJMP.

The battle for third in the title chase will go to Beaubier’s teammate Garrett Gerloff as he leads his old Supersport sparring partner JD Beach by 61 points with just 50 points up for grabs. Gerloff has put together a solid sophomore season in the class, matching Beaubier with four wins on the season – with those four coming in the last seven races. Gerloff won Saturday’s race at NJMP two weeks ago, but crashed in the morning warm-up session on Sunday, banged his head and was ruled out of the afternoon race.

Beach and his Attack Performance Estenson Racing Yamaha, meanwhile, has 24 points on Yoshimura Suzuki’s Josh Herrin in the battle for fourth in the title chase going into Barber, and Westby Racing’s Mathew Scholtz is just three points behind Herrin. That spot will no doubt go to the wire.

M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Jake Lewis has a hold on seventh, 39 points clear of Scheibe Racing BMW’s Jake Gagne. Gagne, in turn, has 11 points on Omega Racing’s Cameron Petersen. FLY Racing ADR Motorsports’ David Anthony is 10th, six points behind Petersen.

If you think the Superbike title chase is close, the Supersport battle is even closer. Just 10 points separate series leader Bobby Fong from second-placed PJ Jacobsen which basically translates into winner take all. Well, except for the other factors that come into play – like several men capable of getting into the mix and messing up the math.

One of those is Rickdiculous Racing’s Hayden Gillim, the Kentuckian sitting third in the title chase and 35 points out of the lead. Gillim would like nothing else but to end his season on a high and play the spoiler role in the final two races. Ditto for Fong’s M4 ECSTAR Suzuki teammate Sean Dylan Kelly, who is 34 points behind Gillim and fresh off the “water bottle” gate controversy from the New Jersey round.

Hudson Motorcycles Richie Escalante and Tuned Racing’s Bryce Prince could also play a role in the outcome of the championship as both have showed the ability to run up front this year.

The third championship still up for grabs is the Twins Cup, but Roadracing World Young Guns’ Alex Dumas has one hand on the number-one plate as he leads the title chase over The Draik 77’s Draik Beauchamp by 21 points with just the lone 12-lap race on Sunday afternoon left on the schedule. Quarterley Racing’s Michael Barnes will likely finish third as he’s 12 points behind Beauchamp and 36 clear of Curtis Murray.

The other two class championships – Stock 1000 and Liqui Moly Junior Cup – were signed, sealed and delivered in New Jersey with Andrew Lee taking the Stock 1000 title for a second straight year while 14-year-old sensation Rocco Landers completely dominated the Junior Cup title chase.

Landers has raced his Ninja400R.com/Norton Motorsports/Dr Farr-backed Kawasaki to 12 wins so far in 2019 – out of 15 starts. His points lead going into the season’s final two races is a staggering 111 points. Altus Motorsports’ Kevin Olmedo is a lock for second in the championship as he’s now 14 points clear of Dallas Daniels, who won’t be racing in the series finale at Barber Motorsports Park.

Lee and his Franklin Armory/Graves Kawasaki-backed ZX-10R has an insurmountable 57-point lead over Mesa 37’s Stefano Mesa going into Barber after winning six of the nine rounds, including five in a row. The only battle left in the Stock 1000 class is for third as Norris Racing’s Michael Gilbert leads Weir Everywhere Racing BMW’s Travis Wyman by eight points and Ameris Bank’s Geoff May by 17 points.

Barber Fast Facts…

Last year, Yoshimura Suzuki’s Toni Elias showed up at Barber Motorsports Park having lost his EBC Brakes Superbike title at the previous round in New Jersey to Cameron Beaubier. But Elias, despite qualifying seventh, went out and won both races in Alabama, topping Josh Herrin by 7.3 seconds in race one and his rival Beaubier by just .333 of a second in race two. Beaubier, meanwhile, with the title already his, crashed out of race one.

Beaubier was the fastest of the fast in Superpole last year, the Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing rider lapping at 1:23.514 to best Herrin by .392 of a second. Westby Racing’s Mathew Scholtz completed the front row.

The MotoAmerica riders will spin wheels for the first time on newly repaved Barber Motorsports Park in Friday practice and with that comes the unknown. Dunlop, however, is fully prepared for the new surface with their test rider Taylor Knapp testing the new surface in the week leading up to the season finale.

The rider with the most Superbike pole positions thus far in 2019 is Garrett Gerloff. The Texan has qualified fastest on four occasions in his sophomore season in the class, one more than his teammate Cameron Beaubier (3). Toni Elias has two pole positions heading into the final round of the season.

Five riders have won EBC Brakes Superbike races in 2019: Toni Elias (7), Cameron Beaubier (4), Garrett Gerloff (4), Josh Herrin (2) and JD Beach (1).

Cameron Beaubier’s race-two win at NJMP two weeks ago was the 36thAMA Superbike win of his career, a mark that has him third on the all-time win list behind Mat Mladin (82) and Josh Hayes (61). Toni Elias, meanwhile, has 32 wins, which places him in a tie for fourth with Miguel Duhamel on the all-time list. Josh Herrin is tied for 24thwith Wes Cooley with their eight career Superbike victories and Garrett Gerloff’s four wins this year puts him in a tie for 27thwith Jamie James and fellow Texan Bubba Shobert. The other active riders with AMA Superbike wins are Mathew Scholtz (2) and JD Beach (1). In total, 58 riders have won at least one AMA Superbike race.

The first Superbike races held at Barber Motorsports Park were won by Aaron Yates and Kurtis Roberts in September of 2003. Yates won race one and Roberts took race two. Yates’ son Ashton currently races in the Stock 1000 class in the MotoAmerica Series.

The Supersport race one a year ago was won by Hayden Gillim over JD Beach by just .098 of a second with Valentin Debise a close third, .960 of a second behind. In race two, Gillim again bested Beach – by just .029 of a second. Debise was a more distant third in race two.

Last year’s Liqui Moly Junior Cup races were both won by Alex Dumas, who was crowned as the series champion. A year later and Dumas is on the verge of being crowned again – this time as the Twins Cup Champion.

Andrew Lee won the lone Stock 1000 race last year at Barber and earned the championship. Lee beat Chad Lewin and Shane Richardson in the season finale. The lone Twins Cup race was won by Robert McLendon III with Chris Parrish finishing eighth to wrap up the title.

MotoGP: Andrea Dovizioso Says Motorland Aragon Is “One Of The Most Unusual Tracks”
No break for the MotoGP World Championship as the Ducati Team arrive in Spain for the Aragón Grand Prix
Just three days after last Sunday’s race at the Misano World Circuit, the MotoGP teams and riders have already arrived in Spain for another event, the fourteenth of the season and the third in the country this year: The Aragón Grand Prix, which as always takes place at the Motorland circuit close to Alcañiz.

Andrea Dovizioso has already been on the podium at the Spanish track twice before – in 2012 he was third and last year he scored an excellent second place. The rider from Forlì comes to Aragón with the aim of once again fighting for the podium and trying to make up some points on the championship leader, Márquez.

Danilo Petrucci, who moved back into third overall in the championship at Misano, wants to get back to competitive form and fight for some good results again. At Aragón Danilo is confident he can gain advantage from the good performance that the Desmosedici GP showed on this track last year.

In the Riders’ standings Dovizioso is 93 points down on Márquez, while Petrucci has a gap of 2 on fourth-placed Álex Rins. In the Teams’ standings, the Ducati Team holds on to its lead with 333 points, while Ducati is second in the Constructors’ classification.

Andrea Dovizioso (#04 Ducati Team) – 2nd (182 points)
“Motorland is one of the most unusual tracks in the calendar. In the past I had never really scored any good results, but last year we were very competitive and we finished second, so we arrive at the race weekend with this memory and this mentality. Obviously, as we could see at Misano, each race is a world unto itself and everything can change from one year to another, but we will try and be fast to get in amongst the leading positions throughout the weekend.”

Danilo Petrucci (#9 Ducati Team) – 3rd (151 points)
“I really like the Alcañiz circuit, even though for a variety of reasons I have never scored any good results here. I hope the time has come to change all that and overturn the trend of the last few races. At Silverstone and Misano I was quicker in the race than during practice, so from now on I have to constantly improve during the weekend to start up at the front on the Sunday. The team is doing a great job, but we must make a further step forward to tackle the final part of the season in a positive way and defend third place in the standings, which at this moment is my main target.”

The first MotoGP free practice session for the Ducati Team riders will be on Friday 20th September at 09.55 (CET), while the race is now scheduled for Sunday 22nd September at 13.00 (CET), one hour earlier than usual.

UtahSBA: Duncan Biles Wins King Of The Mountain Race At UMC

Round 5 of the Utah Sport Bike Association Law Tigers Masters of the Mountains Road Racing series was held on September 14-15 at Utah Motorsports Campus’ 3.048-mile Perimeter configuration in Grantsville, Utah. Expert racer Duncan Biles of Biles Performance Racing was able to realize a personal goal as he secured his first career victory in the premier class this past weekend.

Duncan had this to say about his race victory: “It was a relief to finally be the first one to the checkered flag in the Moto Station King of the Mountain race. I’ve been in the mix all season, but there are so many great riders in the KOM race it’s really hard to win. We made some changes before qualifying that helped put us on the front row. I had a great start, and I wanted to build a gap before I picked up the brake-fade we struggled with the whole weekend on this insanely fast perimeter track. When I realized I was the first through turn one, I just put my head down and pushed hard to the finish.”

With a heavy heart expert racer Kellen Birch continued his successful campaign with three wins and a second place. “Friday night during registration I got the sad news that my Aunt Vicki had passed away. That weighed heavily on me all day Saturday and Sunday and had a hard time getting into a rhythm in the practice sessions. I tried to use that as fuel for my races and I ended up with a great weekend. I have to give a big thank you to my sponsors Trackstar Racing and Dunlop Tires. Thanks to Kory Cowan and Shane Turpin for helping me with a couple of things that were slowing me down, and to my teammate James Powelson for always pushing me.”

Round 6 will be held September 28-29, 2019 at Utah Motorsports Campus’ West Configuration. Registration is open now for this event. Register before September 20, 2019, to receive the early-bird discount rate for race Round 6. Visit www.motorsportsreg.com to register today.

MotoAmerica: Westby Racing Previews The Season Finale At Barber Motorsports Park

“Finish Strong” Is The Mantra For Mathew Scholtz And Westby Racing This Weekend At MotoAmerica’s Season-Ender

Tulsa, OK – September 18, 2019 – The 10th and final round of the 2019 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship begins on Friday at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, and Mathew Scholtz and the Westby Racing team are determined to finish out the season with two podium results on Barber’s 2.38-mile, 17-turn road course.

It’s a track on which Mathew has had a lot of success, highlighted by his historic 2017 Superbike race victory aboard his #11 Westby Racing Yamaha YZF-R1 when the bike was in Superstock 1000 trim.

Currently ranked sixth in the 2019 Superbike standings, Mathew and the team have a good chance to move up to fifth and possibly even fourth in the rankings, depending on how things go in the two Superbike races at Barber.

“It’s been a bit of a tough season for us coming to grips with the new Superbike electronics,” admitted Mathew. “But, we’ve made progress all season long. Our results at the last couple of rounds have been more where we expect to be, especially finishing on the podium in race two at New Jersey. We’d like to get a couple more podiums this weekend and hopefully move up a position or two in the final Championship standings. The track at Barber has been repaved, so that could be a bit of an equalizer. The advantage goes to the teams that can adapt the quickest and best to the new surface, make the right tire choices, and manage tire life. I’ve got full confidence in the Westby team and myself that we can face these unknowns and use them to our advantage.”

Superbike race one will go green on Saturday at 3 PM Central Time, and Superbike race two is on Sunday also at 3 PM Central Time. Both races will be broadcast on FOX Sports 2 (FS2) and streamed on MotoAmerica Live+.

Meet Mathew, Get An Autographed Poster, And More

On Saturday from 12 to 12:45 PM, Mathew will be available for autographs at the Westby Racing transporter in the Barber Motorsports Park paddock during the Dunlop Paddock Autograph Session. The Dunlop Hot Pit Walk & Autograph Session, which takes place on pit lane at Barber on Sunday from 11 to 11:45 AM, is another great opportunity to meet Mathew. He’ll be handing out free, autographed posters and other team items, and you can also get your picture taken with him, as well as with Lacy Contreras, the Westby Racing brand ambassador.

Check Out The Westby Racing Sponsor Showcase

Beta Tools, Livengood Motor Sports, SBS Brakes, Superbike Unlimited LLC, Vigilante Associates, and Yoshimura R&D of America, Inc. will be the featured team sponsors on display in the Westby Racing paddock area, so be sure to stop by, say hello, and find out more about some of the companies that support the team.

The 2019 Westby Racing Golden Ticket Winner Will Be At Barber

Natasha Nelson is the 2019 Westby Racing Golden Ticket Winner, and she and her husband Graeme Pawson will be at Barber Motorsports Park all weekend long as she collects her prizes, hangs out with Mathew and the Westby Racing team, and enjoys the experience of a lifetime.

Zero Motorcycles Announces 2020 Lineup Highlighted By DSR Black Forest Edition Adventure Model

ZERO
MOTORCYCLES CONTINUES PUSH FOR UNCHARTED ADVENTURES WITH NEW 2020 LINE OF
MOTORCYCLES

The company
redefining the electric motorcycle market is pushing for new adventures by
launching the Black Forest DSR global model as part of the revamped 2020 base-model
line.

SANTA CRUZ,
Calif., (Sept 18, 2019) – Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in electric
motorcycles and powertrains, is adding more depth to its lineup following the
release of the transformational 2020 SR/F earlier this year. Adding to the
fast-growing dual sport category, the company is reintroducing the popular EU
Black Forest DSR Adventure Bike as an all-new Global model for 2020. The 2020
Black Forest DSR joins the remaining 2020 model lineup, which all enjoy
refreshed colors, graphics and the power and precision of the Cypher II and
Cypher III operating systems.

Complementing the powerful Cypher operating
systems, every 2020 Zero Motorcycle will possess an updated Next Gen App that
provides effortless connection to a motorcycle’s custom ride modes, charging
status, updates and diagnostics.

“With the year-over-year growth of fast
charge stations around the United States, riding has become more accessible
than ever,” said Sam Paschel, CEO. “The 2020 line ensures riders can experience
their adventures and push for new places with the effortless experience of
taking their motorcycle wherever they would like to go.”

EFFORTLESS ADVENTURE

Deriving from the undisputed champion of this
category, the DSR 14.4 kWh, the DSR Black Forest Edition enters the U.S. market
as the pinnacle dual sport motorcycle in the Zero 2020 lineup. Arriving with a
history of riding success overseas, Zero now brings this EU favorite to the U.S.
equipped with three lockable cases for ample storage, accessory bars, hand guards
and a protective headlamp cover for added protection for the rider and bike.
The DSR Black Forest Edition retails for $18,995 and is available with various
Zero Motorcycles accessories and upgrades for riders to continue to push the
boundaries of the dual sport category.

Additionally, the advance of Zero Motorcycles
technology at the top of the spectrum allows for the 2020 DS model to now be
available with the 7.2 kWh battery for $10,995. The 2020 DS will sport new
colors and graphics in the Mojave colorway and will carry more adventure
essentials with its increased on-board storage, making it the ideal option for
riders looking to begin their electric dual sport riding.

The 2020 DSR will be available in new colors
and graphics styling in black and gold along with an exclusive 14.4 kWh power
pack for a price at $15,495.

For narrow paths and quicker maneuvers, the
light and nimble 2020 Zero FX is also updated with new graphics in the Dune
colorway and starts at $8,995. Zero’s focus on technology and affordability
makes the 2020 Zero Motorcycles model line the most accessible and capable way
to enjoy adventure riding.

EFFORTLESS POWER

The effortlessly powerful street line
receives a similar boost in value with the SR being equipped with a 14.4 kWh
Power Pack for $15,495. The 2020 SR is compatible with either a Charge Tank or
Power Tank and, when equipped with the Power Tank, the SR is the longest-range
motorcycle available in the 2020 line. Ideal for the first time rider looking
for an entry-level street motorcycle, the S comes exclusively with a 7.2kWh battery
for only $10,995. Not to be overlooked, the FXS also has a new look in Slate colorway
and will be available starting at $8,995.

All 2020 Zero Motorcycles models are
available at any one of the hundreds of dealerships across North America and
Europe and are shipping right now from the company’s California factory
offices.

MotoGP: Maverick Vinales Is “Extra Optimistic” Heading Into Race Weekend At Motorland Aragon

MONSTER ENERGY YAMAHA MOTOGP ANTICIPATE ACTION-PACKED ARAGON GP

The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team travelled straight from the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli to MotorLand Aragón for Round 14 of the 2019 MotoGP World Championship.

Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP riders Maverick Viñales and Valentino Rossi will be back in the saddle of their YZR-M1s this weekend for the Gran Premio Michelin de Aragón. A round that the team always thoroughly enjoys because of its great atmosphere and the loud cheers of the fans.

Viñales is in high spirits after his second-consecutive third place at the San Marino GP, making him all the more intent on gunning for another top position this weekend. The Aragon GP is a very special venue to him: it’s one of his ’home Grands Prix‘ and he has fond memories of previous editions.

The Spaniard greeted his fans from the Aragon podium three times before. He secured a third place in 2011 in the 125cc class, a Moto3 second place finish in 2013, and a Moto2 victory in 2014. He would love nothing better than adding a MotoGP podium to the set this time round.

Rossi is looking to make another step at the upcoming showdown. Following his home Grand Prix last weekend, where he took his third-consecutive fourth place, the Doctor has his heart set on a place on the podium this weekend.

The Italian acknowledges that the Aragon circuit is a difficult track for him, but he has had his fair share of success there. The Aragon round was added to the MotoGP calendar in 2010, and since then the nine-time World Champion already stood on the podium three times, securing third places in the premier class in 2013, 2015, and 2016.

The MotorLand Aragón circuit is situated near the town of Alcañiz, a few hours’ drive from Barcelona. The fast 5.1km long track has ten left and seven right corners, and a 968m longest straight. It was given the IRTA Best Grand Prix of the Year award after MotoGP‘s first visit, reflecting the riders’ and the fans’ appreciation of the venue. The event draws thousands of visitors, also because it’s the last European race before the overseas GPs in Asia and Oceania, making it a round motorsport enthusiasts don’t want to miss.

For those who want to get to know the circuit better, check out Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP eSport Rider Lorenzo Daretti’s eLap around the MotorLand Aragón. The Italian will also be present at the track this weekend to take part in the second round of the MotoGP eSport Global Series, for which two races are held on Friday, 20th September. The event will be broadcasted live from 19:00 – 20:15 (local track time: GMT+2) on the MotoGP eSport channels.

MASSIMO MEREGALLI

TEAM DIRECTOR

“We have travelled straight from the team‘s and Vale‘s home GP to Maverick’s home race. This is another significant round for all of us, as it‘s the last GP before the overseas leg. We won‘t see our European fans until the final round in Valencia, and we want to say ’Goodbye‘ to them with a good result. Maverick has built up some good momentum, having scored two third places in a row, and he really likes the Aragon track. His fans can rest assured that he will be 100% committed to get another top result this weekend. Vale is not the biggest fan of this circuit, but he too has visited the podium three times, in his case in the premier class, and he‘s very motivated to get back onto the rostrum. We expect that this weekend will require hard work and we are very interested to see if the steps forward that we took in Misano will also work very well here.”

MAVERICK VIÑALES

“After the Misano podium I‘m feeling extra optimistic about coming here in Aragon. Like every Spanish round, this GP is very special to me because the fans and atmosphere are great, and I really like this track. We have been doing good work in the previous rounds, so I expect to be fast here too. We will try to stay focused on our goal, we want to keep improving during every race weekend. We‘ve seen our potential get better and better since starting the second half of the season, so I think that we can do a good job.”

VALENTINO ROSSI

“After the race in Misano we have travelled to Aragon for a back-to-back race. We‘ve seen at the San Marino GP what we need to work on, so that‘s what we will be focusing on during this weekend – though Aragon is a difficult track for us, historically. We always struggled here, but this time we arrive after some good races. For sure we will have to work hard this GP, but we hope to be more competitive than we have been in the past.”

MotoAmerica: Season To Conclude This Coming Weekend At Recently Repaved Barber Motorsports Park

It’s Title Time For MotoAmerica

EBC Brakes Superbike And Supersport Titles To Be Decided In Finale

COSTA MESA, CA (September 18, 2019) – It all comes down to this. With just two races left in the 2019 MotoAmerica EBC Brakes Superbike Championship, Yoshimura Suzuki’s Toni Elias leads Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing’s Cameron Beaubier by 16 points as the series heads to the season finale this weekend – the Championship of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park.

By virtue of his eight wins and 14 total podiums in 18 races, Elias is at the top of the standings and trying to wrap up his second MotoAmerica Superbike title. Beaubier, meanwhile, finished second and first in the two races two weeks ago in New Jersey for his fourth win and 15thpodium of his season. While Elias can take the title with two second-place finishes if Beaubier wins both, Beaubier will need a little help from his friends to take the title.

More scenarios? If Beaubier wins both races, and Elias finishes second in one and third in the other, Elias takes the title by two points. If Beaubier wins both races and Elias is third in both, Beaubier would earn his fourth AMA Superbike title by two points. Lots of ifs ands and buts, but this championship is far from over as Elias is coming off a weekend where he finished off the podium in both races at NJMP.

The battle for third in the title chase will go to Beaubier’s teammate Garrett Gerloff as he leads his old Supersport sparring partner JD Beach by 61 points with just 50 points up for grabs. Gerloff has put together a solid sophomore season in the class, matching Beaubier with four wins on the season – with those four coming in the last seven races. Gerloff won Saturday’s race at NJMP two weeks ago, but crashed in the morning warm-up session on Sunday, banged his head and was ruled out of the afternoon race.

Beach and his Attack Performance Estenson Racing Yamaha, meanwhile, has 24 points on Yoshimura Suzuki’s Josh Herrin in the battle for fourth in the title chase going into Barber, and Westby Racing’s Mathew Scholtz is just three points behind Herrin. That spot will no doubt go to the wire.

M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Jake Lewis has a hold on seventh, 39 points clear of Scheibe Racing BMW’s Jake Gagne. Gagne, in turn, has 11 points on Omega Racing’s Cameron Petersen. FLY Racing ADR Motorsports’ David Anthony is 10th, six points behind Petersen.

If you think the Superbike title chase is close, the Supersport battle is even closer. Just 10 points separate series leader Bobby Fong from second-placed PJ Jacobsen which basically translates into winner take all. Well, except for the other factors that come into play – like several men capable of getting into the mix and messing up the math.

One of those is Rickdiculous Racing’s Hayden Gillim, the Kentuckian sitting third in the title chase and 35 points out of the lead. Gillim would like nothing else but to end his season on a high and play the spoiler role in the final two races. Ditto for Fong’s M4 ECSTAR Suzuki teammate Sean Dylan Kelly, who is 34 points behind Gillim and fresh off the “water bottle” gate controversy from the New Jersey round.

Hudson Motorcycles Richie Escalante and Tuned Racing’s Bryce Prince could also play a role in the outcome of the championship as both have showed the ability to run up front this year.

The third championship still up for grabs is the Twins Cup, but Roadracing World Young Guns’ Alex Dumas has one hand on the number-one plate as he leads the title chase over The Draik 77’s Draik Beauchamp by 21 points with just the lone 12-lap race on Sunday afternoon left on the schedule. Quarterley Racing’s Michael Barnes will likely finish third as he’s 12 points behind Beauchamp and 36 clear of Curtis Murray.

The other two class championships – Stock 1000 and Liqui Moly Junior Cup – were signed, sealed and delivered in New Jersey with Andrew Lee taking the Stock 1000 title for a second straight year while 14-year-old sensation Rocco Landers completely dominated the Junior Cup title chase.

Landers has raced his Ninja400R.com/Norton Motorsports/Dr Farr-backed Kawasaki to 12 wins so far in 2019 – out of 15 starts. His points lead going into the season’s final two races is a staggering 111 points. Altus Motorsports’ Kevin Olmedo is a lock for second in the championship as he’s now 14 points clear of Dallas Daniels, who won’t be racing in the series finale at Barber Motorsports Park.

Lee and his Franklin Armory/Graves Kawasaki-backed ZX-10R has an insurmountable 57-point lead over Mesa 37’s Stefano Mesa going into Barber after winning six of the nine rounds, including five in a row. The only battle left in the Stock 1000 class is for third as Norris Racing’s Michael Gilbert leads Weir Everywhere Racing BMW’s Travis Wyman by eight points and Ameris Bank’s Geoff May by 17 points.

Barber Fast Facts…

Last year, Yoshimura Suzuki’s Toni Elias showed up at Barber Motorsports Park having lost his EBC Brakes Superbike title at the previous round in New Jersey to Cameron Beaubier. But Elias, despite qualifying seventh, went out and won both races in Alabama, topping Josh Herrin by 7.3 seconds in race one and his rival Beaubier by just .333 of a second in race two. Beaubier, meanwhile, with the title already his, crashed out of race one.

Beaubier was the fastest of the fast in Superpole last year, the Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing rider lapping at 1:23.514 to best Herrin by .392 of a second. Westby Racing’s Mathew Scholtz completed the front row.

The MotoAmerica riders will spin wheels for the first time on newly repaved Barber Motorsports Park in Friday practice and with that comes the unknown. Dunlop, however, is fully prepared for the new surface with their test rider Taylor Knapp testing the new surface in the week leading up to the season finale.

The rider with the most Superbike pole positions thus far in 2019 is Garrett Gerloff. The Texan has qualified fastest on four occasions in his sophomore season in the class, one more than his teammate Cameron Beaubier (3). Toni Elias has two pole positions heading into the final round of the season.

Five riders have won EBC Brakes Superbike races in 2019: Toni Elias (7), Cameron Beaubier (4), Garrett Gerloff (4), Josh Herrin (2) and JD Beach (1).

Cameron Beaubier’s race-two win at NJMP two weeks ago was the 36thAMA Superbike win of his career, a mark that has him third on the all-time win list behind Mat Mladin (82) and Josh Hayes (61). Toni Elias, meanwhile, has 32 wins, which places him in a tie for fourth with Miguel Duhamel on the all-time list. Josh Herrin is tied for 24thwith Wes Cooley with their eight career Superbike victories and Garrett Gerloff’s four wins this year puts him in a tie for 27thwith Jamie James and fellow Texan Bubba Shobert. The other active riders with AMA Superbike wins are Mathew Scholtz (2) and JD Beach (1). In total, 58 riders have won at least one AMA Superbike race.

The first Superbike races held at Barber Motorsports Park were won by Aaron Yates and Kurtis Roberts in September of 2003. Yates won race one and Roberts took race two. Yates’ son Ashton currently races in the Stock 1000 class in the MotoAmerica Series.

The Supersport race one a year ago was won by Hayden Gillim over JD Beach by just .098 of a second with Valentin Debise a close third, .960 of a second behind. In race two, Gillim again bested Beach – by just .029 of a second. Debise was a more distant third in race two.

Last year’s Liqui Moly Junior Cup races were both won by Alex Dumas, who was crowned as the series champion. A year later and Dumas is on the verge of being crowned again – this time as the Twins Cup Champion.

Andrew Lee won the lone Stock 1000 race last year at Barber and earned the championship. Lee beat Chad Lewin and Shane Richardson in the season finale. The lone Twins Cup race was won by Robert McLendon III with Chris Parrish finishing eighth to wrap up the title.

MotoGP: Andrea Dovizioso Says Motorland Aragon Is “One Of The Most Unusual Tracks”

No break for the MotoGP World Championship as the Ducati Team arrive in Spain for the Aragón Grand Prix
Just three days after last Sunday’s race at the Misano World Circuit, the MotoGP teams and riders have already arrived in Spain for another event, the fourteenth of the season and the third in the country this year: The Aragón Grand Prix, which as always takes place at the Motorland circuit close to Alcañiz.

Andrea Dovizioso has already been on the podium at the Spanish track twice before – in 2012 he was third and last year he scored an excellent second place. The rider from Forlì comes to Aragón with the aim of once again fighting for the podium and trying to make up some points on the championship leader, Márquez.

Danilo Petrucci, who moved back into third overall in the championship at Misano, wants to get back to competitive form and fight for some good results again. At Aragón Danilo is confident he can gain advantage from the good performance that the Desmosedici GP showed on this track last year.

In the Riders’ standings Dovizioso is 93 points down on Márquez, while Petrucci has a gap of 2 on fourth-placed Álex Rins. In the Teams’ standings, the Ducati Team holds on to its lead with 333 points, while Ducati is second in the Constructors’ classification.

Andrea Dovizioso (#04 Ducati Team) – 2nd (182 points)
“Motorland is one of the most unusual tracks in the calendar. In the past I had never really scored any good results, but last year we were very competitive and we finished second, so we arrive at the race weekend with this memory and this mentality. Obviously, as we could see at Misano, each race is a world unto itself and everything can change from one year to another, but we will try and be fast to get in amongst the leading positions throughout the weekend.”

Danilo Petrucci (#9 Ducati Team) – 3rd (151 points)
“I really like the Alcañiz circuit, even though for a variety of reasons I have never scored any good results here. I hope the time has come to change all that and overturn the trend of the last few races. At Silverstone and Misano I was quicker in the race than during practice, so from now on I have to constantly improve during the weekend to start up at the front on the Sunday. The team is doing a great job, but we must make a further step forward to tackle the final part of the season in a positive way and defend third place in the standings, which at this moment is my main target.”

The first MotoGP free practice session for the Ducati Team riders will be on Friday 20th September at 09.55 (CET), while the race is now scheduled for Sunday 22nd September at 13.00 (CET), one hour earlier than usual.
