Honda’s New Concept RC213V

Featured in the June 2019 Issue of Roadracing World:

       Honda may be enjoying great results in MotoGP, but
the Honda Racing Corp. (HRC) engineers are still looking for ways to go faster…HRC test rider Stefan Bradl raced a modified RC213V
at Jerez, which was surely an important factor in his impressive ride to 10th
place, in his first race since last year’s Valencia GP. Marc Márquez then tested the bike the day after the
race.

     Bradl’s racebike, which he evaluated back to back
with a conventional 2019 RC213V throughout the Jerez weekend, featured a frame
covered with a carbon-fiber skin. The frame itself was also different, with
recesses in the main beam sections, presumably to retain longitudinal stiffness
while increasing lateral flex …

MotoGP Analysis by Mat Oxley, in the June 2019 Issue of Roadracing World

Marc
Marquez and the Honda RC213V have been the dominant force in MotoGP racing in
2019, but that does not mean HRC is resting on its laurels. The company is
experimenting with composites and frame dynamics to make its V4 beast more
forgiving, easier to ride–and faster. Grand Prix Editor Mat Oxley details
exactly how HRC hopes to use carbon-fiber technology in its pursuit of
ever-greater speed. It’s all inside the June 2019 issue of Roadracing World!

AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days: Scott Summers To Be Co-Grand Marshal With Bubba Shobert July 5-7 At Mid-Ohio

AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Scott Summers to be co-grand marshal at 2019 Honda AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Avon Tyres

Joins Hall of Famer Bubba Shobert for July 5-7 event

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — The American Motorcyclist Association welcomes AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Scott Summers as co-grand marshal of the 2019 Honda AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Avon Tyres on July 5-7 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.

Summers shares the grand marshal honors with AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Bubba Shobert. Both are longtime Honda riders and among the winningest motorcycle racers of all time.

“Having Scott Summers and Bubba Shobert on hand to help celebrate American Honda Motor Co.’s 60th anniversary will be an amazing experience,” said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. “Their achievements are closely associated with the Honda brand, and their accomplishments are legendary.”

Summers raced Honda XR600Rs to nine AMA national off-road racing championships. He won the 1990, 1991 and 1992 Grand National Cross Country championships. He reclaimed the AMA GNCC national No. 1 plate in 1996 and successfully defended that title the following year.

Summers also won four AMA Hare Scrambles National Championships (1990, 1991, 1993 and 1995) and took three gold medals as part of the U.S. team at the International Six Days Enduro. He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2014.

“It’s hard to think of a more deserving rider than Scott Summers to serve as AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days’ co-grand marshal,” said Chris Cox, American Honda’s Manager of Experiential Marketing/Public Relations. “Anyone who followed ’90s-era GNCC and hare scrambles racing remembers his ability to go fast in the woods on a big XR600R, and I’m sure fans at Mid-Ohio will enjoy catching up with an off-road legend.”

Honda AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Avon Tyres will not only celebrate the 50th anniversary of Honda’s legendary 1969 CB750, but also the 40th anniversary of the six-cylinder CBX and the 60th anniversary of American Honda Motor Co. Inc.

“I was flattered to have Honda invite me to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days,” Summers said. “We have some great history together. And I look forward to spending time with everyone involved. Honda puts a lot of thought into every decision, especially when it comes to performance and durability.”

Honda AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Avon Tyres, welcomes riders and racers of all brands to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. All activity at the event financially supports the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises money for the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

The event will include vintage competition in road racing, motocross, hare scrambles and trials at Mid-Ohio and flat track racing at the nearby Ashland County Fairgrounds. Riders in these disciplines are racing for national championships or national championship series points. In addition, the Biltwell Pit Bike Races, the Biltwell Holeshot Challenge and the Biltwell Off-Road Poker Run will also be held.

Vendors from all areas of motorcycling will be at the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days Swap Meet, presented by Federal Motorcycle Transport, selling gear, parts, accessories and tools.

Honda and Harley-Davidson will be offering demo rides.

Motorcycling experts will speak on numerous topics, including motorcycle restoration and travel. Speakers this year include three AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers — Scot Harden, Mary McGee and Peter Starr. And AMA staff members will conduct a panel discussion on important legislation affecting riders.

Tickets are available for purchase online at www.midohio.com/tickets/1/vintage-motorcycle-days… or at the gate during the event. A weekend pass is $60, a single-day admission for Friday or Saturday is $40 and a single-day admission for Sunday is $35. Kids 12 and younger get in free.

NIKEN

Use photo from top of page 19. Caption:

The Niken has two front wheels and a single rear drive
wheel powered by an 847cc engine. Maximum lean angle is 45 degrees before the
outside front wheel starts to lift. Ridden within its limits with deliberate,
smooth rider input, the Niken is stable at speed, as Chris Ulrich demonstrates
at Chuckwalla. Photo by David Swarts.

Featured in the June 2019 Issue of Roadracing World:

“Why does it have a sidestand?” I asked.

“Because it will fall over,” came the answer.

“If that is the first question you ask about a new
motorcycle, you know you are dealing with something out of the ordinary. The
Yamaha Niken definitely fits the definition of ‘out of the ordinary.’

“The remarkable thing about this cutting-edge
three-wheeler is how much like riding an ordinary two-wheeler it actually is,
and how much better it is than a traditional two-wheeler when you encounter the
conditions in which it is designed to excel.

“The Niken is a sport-touring machine that offers
one of the best-feeling, most confidence-inspiring front ends in all of
motorcycling. Not a big surprise, perhaps, because the two wheels are at the
front, and between the wide stance and the large contact patches, the bike
offers stability like nothing else.

“Riding it around the streets of Southern
California, up a snowy mountain road and on the track revealed that Yamaha had,
indeed, hit its goal of offering performance and stability in a package
guaranteed to attract attention …

It’s the
anti-trike, Yamaha’s bold foray into three-wheel motorcycling. And the Niken’s
main claim to fame is that it is much more like a stonking’ sport-tourer than
any trike yet built. Read how an engineering exercise turned into a street
package that defies definition, but runs the fun factor straight to redline.

“VP Racing Fuels is one of the most recognizable
brands in motorsports. Now, it is becoming a major player in mainstream
automotive consumer products with VP-branded retail gasoline

stations and convenience stores popping up across North
America.

“And it all started with a young man using a
chemistry set to formulate his own racing fuel in his parents’ one-car garage

“’That’s bulls—!’ Steve Burns, the founder of VP Racing
Fuels told Roadracing World. “That’s the story the marketing guys feed people.
There’s lies, there’s stories, and there’s the

truth. Here’s the truth …”

It’s a
story of hard work, intense study, and a desire to learn. And that desire to
feed the race program grew into one of the most popular racing fuel firms in
the world. It’s the story of a performance-driven company, headed by a racer
who knows what performance means. It’s all in the June 2019 issue of Roadracing

World Superbike/MotoAmerica: GEICO Motorcycle To Sponsor Event At WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca For Sixth Straight Year

GEICO Motorcycle announced as event main sponsor of the WorldSBK U.S. Round

American insurer set to name the U.S. Round for the sixth time in a row

GEICO Motorcycle and Dorna WSBK Organization are pleased to announce that the partnership with the American insurer continues as the company has been named Event Main Sponsor of the WorldSBK U.S. Round, that will take place from 12th-14th July at the unique WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

Based in Chevy Chase, Maryland, GEICO was founded in 1936, and since then it has become one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. GEICO Motorcycle is highly involved in the motorcycle area, and their passion and commitment well mirror what WorldSBK is.

MotoGP: Andrea Dovizioso Says “There’s No Time To Linger On The Points Lost At Barcelona”
The Ducati Team ready to take it to the track at the historic Assen TT Circuit for the eighth round of the MotoGP World Championship
Less than two weeks after the Grand Prix of Catalunya – where Danilo Petrucci took third position on the finish line while Andrea Dovizioso was involved in a crash that forced him to retire – the Ducati Team is ready to resume action at Assen (Netherlands) for the eighth round of the 2019 MotoGP World Championship. On the track also known as “The Cathedral”, which has been hosting the World Championship ever since its first season in 1949, the factory riders conquered a podium apiece with Ducati: Dovizioso finished second in 2014, Petrucci in 2017.

Going into round eight, Dovizioso is second in the Riders standings, 37 points shy of the lead, while Petrucci is fourth, just five points behind his teammate. Both Dovizioso and Petrucci are keen to make the most of the technical upgrades tested after the race at Montmeló to score as many points as possible and cut the gap in the rankings. Ducati is second among Manufacturers with 131 points, while the Ducati Team leads the Team standings with 201 points.

Andrea Dovizioso (#04 Ducati Team) – 2nd (103 points)
“There’s no time to linger on the points lost at Barcelona, we need to tackle each race working as hard as we’ve done until now. I believe we are showing great competitiveness and, even though there are always areas to improve, we have proven our speed. Assen isn’t the most favorable track for our bike and weather conditions always play a fundamental role there, but at any rate we’ve shown we’re capable of progressively improving during the course of a weekend even on tricky circuits. We need to stay calm and focused, taking it one race at a time. The Championship has still a long way to go.”

Danilo Petrucci (#9 Ducati Team) – 4th (98 points)
“I’ve always had good sensations at Assen, it’s one of my favourite circuits despite the fact that on paper it’s not the easiest for us. We’ve been on a positive streak in the last few races, so first of all I want to be competitive and fight for the podium once again. Also, last year I had a quite difficult weekend at Assen, so I’ll have an extra motivation going into this round. Weather will be a question mark, and even though my riding style and the characteristics of the Desmosedici GP could represent an advantage in wet conditions, I hope we’ll have a dry race. We have another chance to score a good result.”

The Ducati Team will resume action Friday, June 28th, at 09:55 (CET) for the first free-practice session while the race is scheduled for Sunday at 14:00.

OMRRA: Jeremy Coffey Wins Formula Ultra Races In Portland

OMRRA

Portland International Raceway, Portland, OR

June 22 – 23

Blue skies and mid 70’s in the afternoons created perfect track conditions for the fourth round of OMRRA. Andy DiBrino flew in from his victory in the Superhooligan races to go head to head with Jeremy Coffey and Kevin Pinkstaff in all the races for the APEX Overall Championship. Jeremy proved to be unbeatable this weekend on his BMW S1000RR and is firmly in the championship lead.

The chicane configuration was used for all Lightweight and Middleweight bikes which made for close racing and exciting viewing in all those classes. All the 600 classes had the biggest grids of the club for the weekend with competitive racing at the front in every race between MacKenzie Ancien and Oliver Jervis.

OMRRA celebrated OMRRA racer #105 Pearce Lutz on Saturday with Laps of Honor. Pearce unfortunately passed away from complications from a crash he had at the Ridge in early June while racing with our sister club WMRRA. OMRRA will deeply miss him.

CCS: Drew Jankord Takes Unlimited Grand Prix Victory At Blackhawk Farms Raceway

CCS: Drew Jankord Wins Unlimited GP at Blackhawk Farms Raceway

Drew Jankord won the Unlimited GP race during round four of the Championship Cup Series’ (CCS) Midwest region this past Sunday, June 21, on the 1.95 mile, seven turn course of Blackhawk Farms Raceway, in South Beloit, Illinois.

The Unlimited classes were closely contested at the front between Jankord, Zac Schumacher and Tom Girard. Schumacher showed excellent race craft and took victories in the first three races aboard his Dunlop backed Yamaha YZF-R1. Not to be denied in the final race, however, Jankord was first into turn one and extended the lead, finishing with a margin of over 5 seconds on his Pirelli sponsored Kawasaki ZX-10R. Jankord made the most of the changing track conditions throughout the day, ultimately bringing home eight podiums including wins in Unlimited GP, 500 Supersport, 500 Superbike, and GT 500.In the amateur Unlimited ranks, Kyle Berwald was the one to beat, winning all three of his Unlimited races on his ZX-10R, and setting the fastest amateur lap time of the weekend a 1:15.267.

Current number 1 plate holder, Jody Barry, won all three of the middleweight races he entered. Exhibiting outright speed, Barry turned the fastest lap of the weekend, a 1:10.429 riding his Pirelli supported Kawasaki ZX-6R. Dave Collins led the middleweight GP race flag to flag winning by over two seconds. Straight off of his perfect weekend the previous round, young gun Nate Minster won both the Heavyweight races on his Yamaha YZF-R6. Amateurs Kyle Haltinner, Tim Lenahan, and August Nord each stood on the top step of the podium throughout the day.

The lightweight division was split between experts Shawn Hill on his Dunlop equipped FZ07, Shannon Anderson, and Zach Mixon riding SV650s. Ike Ozurumba led the amateurs in the Lightweight category on his Bridgestone mounted SV650 and extended his lead the amateur overall championship.

Bruce Barry won in 300 Superbike and Moto3, while Ryan Music took home the checkered flag in 300 Supersport, both riding Pirelli mounted Kawasaki Machines.

MRA: Ryan Burke, Shannon Moham Win Multiple Races At Pueblo Motorsports Park

Ryan Burke and Shannon Moham shine at Pueblo Motorsports Park

Pueblo, CO – The Motorcycle Roadracing Association continued its 2019 championship series with round 3 being held at Pueblo Motorsports Park over the weekend of June 22-23. As is all to frequent in Pueblo, the weather played a significant factor. The MRA has decided not to run wet races at PMP due to the highly unpredictable traction in the section of track used by the drag strip as the burnout and launch area. PMP management puts a decent amount of effort into cleaning that area after the Friday night drag races and their effort resulted in good traction through there in the dry, but if that area gets wet, the grip goes right out the door.

Unfortunately, there was quite a set of rainstorms that came into the area late Saturday afternoon. The MRA officials decided to cancel the remainder of the races that day, which included Lightweight / Ultralightweight, Heavyweight and Open Endurance races, the PB Minimoto race and the Superstreet instruction & race program.

Sunday morning was cool yet clear and the track dried out quite quickly. Race of the Rockies qualifying resulted in Ryan Burke taking a commanding pole position with a 1:30.836 – over 2 seconds ahead of the rest of the field.

The start of Race of the Rockies saw Mike Applehans take the lead. Applehans led Dave Lambert & Burke until Burke got by in lap 5. Then an extremely unusual event happened in lap 6. After working his way past Lambert into third, Dan “Otis” Turner lost the back end in the 180 degree right hand turn 4 and low sided, sending his NoCo BMW S1000RR down the track with him following. This brought out the red flag at just past the half way point.

The race was restarted for the 6 remaining laps with Burke taking the hole shot and subsequently the win. Applehans was holding down second until he decided to sample the runoff areas of Pueblo Motorsports Park, later saying that he went “prairie dog hunting”. Applehans then remembered he should be using asphalt instead of dirt and rejoined the race after handing Lambert second place.

In the GTU class, Shannon Moham started from the second row for both the start and the restart. As has become customary, Moham dominated the Race of the Rockies GTU class in addition to scoring another 7 race wins and 3 class track records for the weekend. Jared Dear also started well, settling into second place with James Hinton in third until the race was red flagged. On the restart, Dear got a horrible start as Ken Yee shot forward and took over second place until doing some prairie dog hunting of his own. Nick Kaplan also got a stellar restart and took over second from Yee until Dear was able to recover from his start and motor past to reclaim second at the finish. Kaplan continued to crank off some of the best lap times of his weekend and claimed his first podium appearance in Race of the Rockies GTU. Congratulations to Nick!

Quite a few new lap records were set over the weekend. In Cam Lee claimed records in 350 Production Cup Qualifying (1:48.367) and the 350 Production Cup race (1:48.520), Chris Brown bested the Amateur GTO record with a 1:33.902, Jon Glaefke beat the Formula Colorado record with a 1:40.200, Tyler Valentine set the bar for Supertwins GTU at 1:39.537, Jason Madama bested the Lightweight GP record with a 1:37.334, Ryan Burke took Formula 40 GTO to 1:30.823, and Shannon Moham took the records in Formula 40 GTU (1:33.657), Heavyweight Superbike (1:33.521), and Middleweight Endurance (1:33.854)

Ryan Burke is supported by Dan Burke and the entire Burke family, Dunlop Motorcycle Tires/Race Tire Services, Ben Fox & Fox Performance Engines, Vickery Motorsports, Yamaha Champions Rider School, Superbike Unlimited, Love Tapped by Jenny, Brighton Radiator & Muffler.

Shannon Moham is sponsored by Nordic Nursing, Dunlop tires, Race Tech suspension, Woodcraft CFM, Vortex racing, Vickery Motorsports, Motors by REX, Renegade race fuels, Imperial Sportbikes, Denver n Dakota, Segren’s Nectar, MOM, CP Carrillo, Ninjatech, Bell Helmets, and Rocky Mountain Photo – Jim Browning.

Round 4 of the MRA series goes back to High Plains Raceway on July 13-14. This round uses the full course and features the annual 4-hour endurance race on Saturday. There will be no Superstreet program that weekend.

Honda’s New Concept RC213V

Featured in the June 2019 Issue of Roadracing World:

       Honda may be enjoying great results in MotoGP, but
the Honda Racing Corp. (HRC) engineers are still looking for ways to go faster…HRC test rider Stefan Bradl raced a modified RC213V
at Jerez, which was surely an important factor in his impressive ride to 10th
place, in his first race since last year’s Valencia GP. Marc Márquez then tested the bike the day after the
race.

     Bradl’s racebike, which he evaluated back to back
with a conventional 2019 RC213V throughout the Jerez weekend, featured a frame
covered with a carbon-fiber skin. The frame itself was also different, with
recesses in the main beam sections, presumably to retain longitudinal stiffness
while increasing lateral flex …

MotoGP Analysis by Mat Oxley, in the June 2019 Issue of Roadracing World

Marc
Marquez and the Honda RC213V have been the dominant force in MotoGP racing in
2019, but that does not mean HRC is resting on its laurels. The company is
experimenting with composites and frame dynamics to make its V4 beast more
forgiving, easier to ride–and faster. Grand Prix Editor Mat Oxley details
exactly how HRC hopes to use carbon-fiber technology in its pursuit of
ever-greater speed. It’s all inside the June 2019 issue of Roadracing World!

AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days: Scott Summers To Be Co-Grand Marshal With Bubba Shobert July 5-7 At Mid-Ohio

AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Scott Summers to be co-grand marshal at 2019 Honda AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Avon Tyres

Joins Hall of Famer Bubba Shobert for July 5-7 event

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — The American Motorcyclist Association welcomes AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Scott Summers as co-grand marshal of the 2019 Honda AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Avon Tyres on July 5-7 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.

Summers shares the grand marshal honors with AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Bubba Shobert. Both are longtime Honda riders and among the winningest motorcycle racers of all time.

“Having Scott Summers and Bubba Shobert on hand to help celebrate American Honda Motor Co.’s 60th anniversary will be an amazing experience,” said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. “Their achievements are closely associated with the Honda brand, and their accomplishments are legendary.”

Summers raced Honda XR600Rs to nine AMA national off-road racing championships. He won the 1990, 1991 and 1992 Grand National Cross Country championships. He reclaimed the AMA GNCC national No. 1 plate in 1996 and successfully defended that title the following year.

Summers also won four AMA Hare Scrambles National Championships (1990, 1991, 1993 and 1995) and took three gold medals as part of the U.S. team at the International Six Days Enduro. He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2014.

“It’s hard to think of a more deserving rider than Scott Summers to serve as AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days’ co-grand marshal,” said Chris Cox, American Honda’s Manager of Experiential Marketing/Public Relations. “Anyone who followed ’90s-era GNCC and hare scrambles racing remembers his ability to go fast in the woods on a big XR600R, and I’m sure fans at Mid-Ohio will enjoy catching up with an off-road legend.”

Honda AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Avon Tyres will not only celebrate the 50th anniversary of Honda’s legendary 1969 CB750, but also the 40th anniversary of the six-cylinder CBX and the 60th anniversary of American Honda Motor Co. Inc.

“I was flattered to have Honda invite me to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days,” Summers said. “We have some great history together. And I look forward to spending time with everyone involved. Honda puts a lot of thought into every decision, especially when it comes to performance and durability.”

Honda AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Avon Tyres, welcomes riders and racers of all brands to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. All activity at the event financially supports the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises money for the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

The event will include vintage competition in road racing, motocross, hare scrambles and trials at Mid-Ohio and flat track racing at the nearby Ashland County Fairgrounds. Riders in these disciplines are racing for national championships or national championship series points. In addition, the Biltwell Pit Bike Races, the Biltwell Holeshot Challenge and the Biltwell Off-Road Poker Run will also be held.

Vendors from all areas of motorcycling will be at the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days Swap Meet, presented by Federal Motorcycle Transport, selling gear, parts, accessories and tools.

Honda and Harley-Davidson will be offering demo rides.

Motorcycling experts will speak on numerous topics, including motorcycle restoration and travel. Speakers this year include three AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers — Scot Harden, Mary McGee and Peter Starr. And AMA staff members will conduct a panel discussion on important legislation affecting riders.

Tickets are available for purchase online at www.midohio.com/tickets/1/vintage-motorcycle-days… or at the gate during the event. A weekend pass is $60, a single-day admission for Friday or Saturday is $40 and a single-day admission for Sunday is $35. Kids 12 and younger get in free.

Keep up to date on event announcements by liking and following AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days on Facebook (www.facebook.com/AMAVintageMotorcycleDays) and using #AMAVMD on Instagram and Twitter.

Those attending Honda AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Avon Tyres can also sign up for special text alerts during the event weekend.

NIKEN

Use photo from top of page 19. Caption:

The Niken has two front wheels and a single rear drive
wheel powered by an 847cc engine. Maximum lean angle is 45 degrees before the
outside front wheel starts to lift. Ridden within its limits with deliberate,
smooth rider input, the Niken is stable at speed, as Chris Ulrich demonstrates
at Chuckwalla. Photo by David Swarts.

Featured in the June 2019 Issue of Roadracing World:

“Why does it have a sidestand?” I asked.

“Because it will fall over,” came the answer.

“If that is the first question you ask about a new
motorcycle, you know you are dealing with something out of the ordinary. The
Yamaha Niken definitely fits the definition of ‘out of the ordinary.’

“The remarkable thing about this cutting-edge
three-wheeler is how much like riding an ordinary two-wheeler it actually is,
and how much better it is than a traditional two-wheeler when you encounter the
conditions in which it is designed to excel.

“The Niken is a sport-touring machine that offers
one of the best-feeling, most confidence-inspiring front ends in all of
motorcycling. Not a big surprise, perhaps, because the two wheels are at the
front, and between the wide stance and the large contact patches, the bike
offers stability like nothing else.

“Riding it around the streets of Southern
California, up a snowy mountain road and on the track revealed that Yamaha had,
indeed, hit its goal of offering performance and stability in a package
guaranteed to attract attention …

It’s the
anti-trike, Yamaha’s bold foray into three-wheel motorcycling. And the Niken’s
main claim to fame is that it is much more like a stonking’ sport-tourer than
any trike yet built. Read how an engineering exercise turned into a street
package that defies definition, but runs the fun factor straight to redline.

“VP Racing Fuels is one of the most recognizable

Fuels told Roadracing World. “That’s the story the marketing guys feed people.
There’s lies, there’s stories, and there’s the

truth. Here’s the truth …”

It’s a
story of hard work, intense study, and a desire to learn. And that desire to
feed the race program grew into one of the most popular racing fuel firms in
the world. It’s the story of a performance-driven company, headed by a racer
who knows what performance means. It’s all in the June 2019 issue of Roadracing

World Superbike/MotoAmerica: GEICO Motorcycle To Sponsor Event At WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca For Sixth Straight Year

GEICO Motorcycle announced as event main sponsor of the WorldSBK U.S. Round

American insurer set to name the U.S. Round for the sixth time in a row

GEICO Motorcycle and Dorna WSBK Organization are pleased to announce that the partnership with the American insurer continues as the company has been named Event Main Sponsor of the WorldSBK U.S. Round, that will take place from 12th-14th July at the unique WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

Based in Chevy Chase, Maryland, GEICO was founded in 1936, and since then it has become one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. GEICO Motorcycle is highly involved in the motorcycle area, and their passion and commitment well mirror what WorldSBK is. The Insurance company has been naming the U.S. Round for six consecutive years, and it is a valuable partner for the championship stateside. Thanks to their support, the Geico U.S. Round promises to be another exciting event.

Heading into the ninth round of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship, Laguna Seca will once again host an incredible racing weekend, the last one before the series will begin their Summer break, and this time all eyes will be focused on WorldSBK as it will be the only class racing around the demanding American layout. Home of the famous “corkscrew corner,” the Geico U.S. Round will deliver another weekend full of drama and pure adrenaline to all the U.S. fans.

MotoGP: Andrea Dovizioso Says “There’s No Time To Linger On The Points Lost At Barcelona”

The Ducati Team ready to take it to the track at the historic Assen TT Circuit for the eighth round of the MotoGP World Championship
Less than two weeks after the Grand Prix of Catalunya – where Danilo Petrucci took third position on the finish line while Andrea Dovizioso was involved in a crash that forced him to retire – the Ducati Team is ready to resume action at Assen (Netherlands) for the eighth round of the 2019 MotoGP World Championship. On the track also known as “The Cathedral”, which has been hosting the World Championship ever since its first season in 1949, the factory riders conquered a podium apiece with Ducati: Dovizioso finished second in 2014, Petrucci in 2017.

Going into round eight, Dovizioso is second in the Riders standings, 37 points shy of the lead, while Petrucci is fourth, just five points behind his teammate. Both Dovizioso and Petrucci are keen to make the most of the technical upgrades tested after the race at Montmeló to score as many points as possible and cut the gap in the rankings. Ducati is second among Manufacturers with 131 points, while the Ducati Team leads the Team standings with 201 points.

Andrea Dovizioso (#04 Ducati Team) – 2nd (103 points)
“There’s no time to linger on the points lost at Barcelona, we need to tackle each race working as hard as we’ve done until now. I believe we are showing great competitiveness and, even though there are always areas to improve, we have proven our speed. Assen isn’t the most favorable track for our bike and weather conditions always play a fundamental role there, but at any rate we’ve shown we’re capable of progressively improving during the course of a weekend even on tricky circuits. We need to stay calm and focused, taking it one race at a time. The Championship has still a long way to go.”

Danilo Petrucci (#9 Ducati Team) – 4th (98 points)
“I’ve always had good sensations at Assen, it’s one of my favourite circuits despite the fact that on paper it’s not the easiest for us. We’ve been on a positive streak in the last few races, so first of all I want to be competitive and fight for the podium once again. Also, last year I had a quite difficult weekend at Assen, so I’ll have an extra motivation going into this round. Weather will be a question mark, and even though my riding style and the characteristics of the Desmosedici GP could represent an advantage in wet conditions, I hope we’ll have a dry race. We have another chance to score a good result.”

The Ducati Team will resume action Friday, June 28th, at 09:55 (CET) for the first free-practice session while the race is scheduled for Sunday at 14:00. 

OMRRA: Jeremy Coffey Wins Formula Ultra Races In Portland

OMRRA

Portland International Raceway, Portland, OR

June 22 – 23

Blue skies and mid 70’s in the afternoons created perfect track conditions for the fourth round of OMRRA. Andy DiBrino flew in from his victory in the Superhooligan races to go head to head with Jeremy Coffey and Kevin Pinkstaff in all the races for the APEX Overall Championship. Jeremy proved to be unbeatable this weekend on his BMW S1000RR and is firmly in the championship lead.

The chicane configuration was used for all Lightweight and Middleweight bikes which made for close racing and exciting viewing in all those classes. All the 600 classes had the biggest grids of the club for the weekend with competitive racing at the front in every race between MacKenzie Ancien and Oliver Jervis.

OMRRA celebrated OMRRA racer #105 Pearce Lutz on Saturday with Laps of Honor. Pearce unfortunately passed away from complications from a crash he had at the Ridge in early June while racing with our sister club WMRRA. OMRRA will deeply miss him.

CCS: Drew Jankord Takes Unlimited Grand Prix Victory At Blackhawk Farms Raceway

CCS: Drew Jankord Wins Unlimited GP at Blackhawk Farms Raceway

Drew Jankord won the Unlimited GP race during round four of the Championship Cup Series’ (CCS) Midwest region this past Sunday, June 21, on the 1.95 mile, seven turn course of Blackhawk Farms Raceway, in South Beloit, Illinois.

The Unlimited classes were closely contested at the front between Jankord, Zac Schumacher and Tom Girard. Schumacher showed excellent race craft and took victories in the first three races aboard his Dunlop backed Yamaha YZF-R1. Not to be denied in the final race, however, Jankord was first into turn one and extended the lead, finishing with a margin of over 5 seconds on his Pirelli sponsored Kawasaki ZX-10R. Jankord made the most of the changing track conditions throughout the day, ultimately bringing home eight podiums including wins in Unlimited GP, 500 Supersport, 500 Superbike, and GT 500.In the amateur Unlimited ranks, Kyle Berwald was the one to beat, winning all three of his Unlimited races on his ZX-10R, and setting the fastest amateur lap time of the weekend a 1:15.267.

Current number 1 plate holder, Jody Barry, won all three of the middleweight races he entered. Exhibiting outright speed, Barry turned the fastest lap of the weekend, a 1:10.429 riding his Pirelli supported Kawasaki ZX-6R. Dave Collins led the middleweight GP race flag to flag winning by over two seconds. Straight off of his perfect weekend the previous round, young gun Nate Minster won both the Heavyweight races on his Yamaha YZF-R6. Amateurs Kyle Haltinner, Tim Lenahan, and August Nord each stood on the top step of the podium throughout the day.

The lightweight division was split between experts Shawn Hill on his Dunlop equipped FZ07, Shannon Anderson, and Zach Mixon riding SV650s. Ike Ozurumba led the amateurs in the Lightweight category on his Bridgestone mounted SV650 and extended his lead the amateur overall championship.

Bruce Barry won in 300 Superbike and Moto3, while Ryan Music took home the checkered flag in 300 Supersport, both riding Pirelli mounted Kawasaki Machines.

The next round of the CCS Midwest region will be held at Blackhawk Farms Raceway July 20-21 This will be a twin sprints event with a two full days of racing Saturday and Sunday. Additionally this weekend will host the 2nd Annual Trike Endurance Race. To sponsor a trike is only $100 with a total of eight trikes available.

MRA: Ryan Burke, Shannon Moham Win Multiple Races At Pueblo Motorsports Park

Ryan Burke and Shannon Moham shine at Pueblo Motorsports Park

Pueblo, CO – The Motorcycle Roadracing Association continued its 2019 championship series with round 3 being held at Pueblo Motorsports Park over the weekend of June 22-23. As is all to frequent in Pueblo, the weather played a significant factor. The MRA has decided not to run wet races at PMP due to the highly unpredictable traction in the section of track used by the drag strip as the burnout and launch area. PMP management puts a decent amount of effort into cleaning that area after the Friday night drag races and their effort resulted in good traction through there in the dry, but if that area gets wet, the grip goes right out the door.

Unfortunately, there was quite a set of rainstorms that came into the area late Saturday afternoon. The MRA officials decided to cancel the remainder of the races that day, which included Lightweight / Ultralightweight, Heavyweight and Open Endurance races, the PB Minimoto race and the Superstreet instruction & race program.

Sunday morning was cool yet clear and the track dried out quite quickly. Race of the Rockies qualifying resulted in Ryan Burke taking a commanding pole position with a 1:30.836 – over 2 seconds ahead of the rest of the field.

The start of Race of the Rockies saw Mike Applehans take the lead. Applehans led Dave Lambert & Burke until Burke got by in lap 5. Then an extremely unusual event happened in lap 6. After working his way past Lambert into third, Dan “Otis” Turner lost the back end in the 180 degree right hand turn 4 and low sided, sending his NoCo BMW S1000RR down the track with him following. This brought out the red flag at just past the half way point.

The race was restarted for the 6 remaining laps with Burke taking the hole shot and subsequently the win. Applehans was holding down second until he decided to sample the runoff areas of Pueblo Motorsports Park, later saying that he went “prairie dog hunting”. Applehans then remembered he should be using asphalt instead of dirt and rejoined the race after handing Lambert second place.

In the GTU class, Shannon Moham started from the second row for both the start and the restart. As has become customary, Moham dominated the Race of the Rockies GTU class in addition to scoring another 7 race wins and 3 class track records for the weekend. Jared Dear also started well, settling into second place with James Hinton in third until the race was red flagged. On the restart, Dear got a horrible start as Ken Yee shot forward and took over second place until doing some prairie dog hunting of his own. Nick Kaplan also got a stellar restart and took over second from Yee until Dear was able to recover from his start and motor past to reclaim second at the finish. Kaplan continued to crank off some of the best lap times of his weekend and claimed his first podium appearance in Race of the Rockies GTU. Congratulations to Nick!

Quite a few new lap records were set over the weekend. In Cam Lee claimed records in 350 Production Cup Qualifying (1:48.367) and the 350 Production Cup race (1:48.520), Chris Brown bested the Amateur GTO record with a 1:33.902, Jon Glaefke beat the Formula Colorado record with a 1:40.200, Tyler Valentine set the bar for Supertwins GTU at 1:39.537, Jason Madama bested the Lightweight GP record with a 1:37.334, Ryan Burke took Formula 40 GTO to 1:30.823, and Shannon Moham took the records in Formula 40 GTU (1:33.657), Heavyweight Superbike (1:33.521), and Middleweight Endurance (1:33.854)

Ryan Burke is supported by Dan Burke and the entire Burke family, Dunlop Motorcycle Tires/Race Tire Services, Ben Fox & Fox Performance Engines, Vickery Motorsports, Yamaha Champions Rider School, Superbike Unlimited, Love Tapped by Jenny, Brighton Radiator & Muffler.

Shannon Moham is sponsored by Nordic Nursing, Dunlop tires, Race Tech suspension, Woodcraft CFM, Vortex racing, Vickery Motorsports, Motors by REX, Renegade race fuels, Imperial Sportbikes, Denver n Dakota, Segren’s Nectar, MOM, CP Carrillo, Ninjatech, Bell Helmets, and Rocky Mountain Photo – Jim Browning.

Round 4 of the MRA series goes back to High Plains Raceway on July 13-14. This round uses the full course and features the annual 4-hour endurance race on Saturday. There will be no Superstreet program that weekend.
