Kazakhstan GP cancelled, Misano to host Emilia-Romagna GP
Monday, 15 July 2024
The FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports announce the cancellation of the Grand Prix of Kazakhstan. Operational and logistical issues arising from the earlier flooding across the region have rendered the event impossible to hold in 2024.
Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli will instead host the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix from the 20th to the 22nd of September.
MotoGP™ is excited to stage a second event at the iconic Adriatic venue, giving the passionate Italian fanbase a further opportunity to see the world’s most exciting sport in action. The Italian GP earlier this season became the second best attended Grand Prix ever at that venue, and tickets for the San Marino GP, MotoGP™’s first visit to Misano this season, are already forecast to sell out soon.

Young takes commanding race two victory at Atlantic Motorsport Park
Shubenacadie, NS – The grueling heat couldn’t slow down Ben Young on Sunday, as the Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship leader cruised to a dominant victory in race two at Atlantic Motorsport Park, presented by Pro Cycle and Canadian Kawasaki.
The three-time champion turned in one of the most impressive rides of his career with temperatures approaching 35 degrees Celsius (95º F), taking the lead from Sam Guerin on lap two and never looking back en route to an over eleven-second win.
Young’s 20th career Superbike victory was a crucial one for the championship, as he entered the day with just one win in his last five races. While he had maintained his title lead with podiums on every occasion, it was a welcome return to the top of the box following Guerin’s victory on Saturday.
The Van Dolder’s Home Team BMW rider found himself behind Guerin for a second day in a row but this time waited only one lap to make his move in the dry conditions, where he looked much faster than the rest of the GP Bikes Pro Superbike field all weekend.
“I was happy to get a dry race so we could really show what we could do, but Sam got an unbelievable start, it kind of surprised me a little from the second row,” Young said. “But he made a bit of a mistake in turn six and once I got by him, I was just able to manage the gap and try not to push too much.”
Not only was the victory important for his title hopes, it was also a bit of a litmus test ahead of his World Endurance debut in next weekend’s Suzuka 8 Hours, where he will head to straight from Shubenacadie.
“We have a busy week ahead, so I just tried to put in some great laps early and hold the pace as much as I could. The Bridgestone tires held up really well, so hopefully we can carry this with us into Japan,” he said.
While Young was a clear step ahead of the field on Sunday, setting the fastest laps on-track right up until lap 20 of 22, the late pace of Alex Dumas was enough to trim the gap slightly and move the Economy Lube Ducati rider into second for a third race in a row.

He enjoyed a brilliant scrap with Jordan Szoke after both ran with Guerin early on, but the race one winner couldn’t manage his tires quite as effectively with track temperatures exceeding 50º Celsius, allowing Dumas and Szoke to sort out the final podium spots.
“I just didn’t have Ben’s pace early on unfortunately, so I tried to manage the tire and bring it home in second,” Dumas said. “I really want to win, obviously, so hopefully we’ll be a bit closer at CTMP. But we’re getting there, and I can’t thank Economy Lube enough for the opportunity.”
Completing the podium was Szoke, who at one point had carved his way to second and began to reel in Young slightly before Dumas shunted him back down to third just before they hit lapped traffic.
The CKM Kawasaki rider believed the outcome could have been different if not for Guerin’s incredible launch off the second row, but still turned in perhaps his best performance of the year as he trends towards a return to the top step of his own.
“Sam had a great start but after that mistake, he just didn’t have the pace and I feel like Alex and I could have given Ben a bit of a closer run if he didn’t get away,” Szoke said. “But it was a fun battle with Alex, and the Bridgestone tire got us to the end in third which was awesome. These fans on the east coast love racing, so it was nice to put on a bit of a show for them.”
After Guerin’s spectacular win in changing conditions on Saturday, the EFC Group BMW rider couldn’t repeat the feat on a dry track in race two, fading to fourth by the midway point.
While he will be frustrated with the fourth-place finish, conceding 12 points to Young with four races remaining, he did rebound nicely in the second half of the race to limit the damage and salvage a solid result.
Rounding out the top five was 17-year-old rookie Andrew Van Winkle, who turned in an incredible performance aboard his lesser-displacement FD Racing Suzuki.

It was the second day in a row that a Sport Bike teenager cracked the top five in Superbike, after 16-year-old Philip DeGama-Blanchet’s sensational efforts in race one, with Van Winkle fending off the Vass Performance Kawaski of DeGama-Blanchet in the middle stint of the race.
Brooklin Cycle Racing Pro Rookie of the Year leader Connor Campbell extended his advantage in the award race with a solid seventh-place finish, making a spectacular move on Paul Macdonell in the final corner to match his season-best finish and move into fifth in the overall championship for B&T MacFarlane/Kubota Kawasaki.
Macdonell would exit the east coast in eighth after a brake issue forced him to retire in race one, pushing the PMR/Vass Performance BMW rider up to seventh in the standings with two rounds remaining.
Local rider Cory Canfield was an excellent ninth aboard his Pro Cycle Suzuki, with Brian Worsdall completing the top ten for Mots Machining Honda ahead of Ernest Bernhard on the W.D. Jeans Yamaha.
Notably missing from the results was David MacKay, who was running in a strong fifth for ODH Snow City Cycle Honda when he crashed out in turn four around the midway point of the race.
Young’s victory will also help extend BMW’s lead atop the Constructors Championship to an even 100 points with four races remaining, as they try to clinch their third title in a row at round five in Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.

Maria Herrera (Klint Forward Factory Team) and Sunday’s Race 1 victor Ana Carrasco (Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team) proved to be in a league of their own in Race 2 at Donington Park, with Herrera securing her third win in four races, just two tenths of a second ahead of a very combative Carrasco
From second on the grid, Herrera made a lightning start to take an early lead ahead of Carrasco. Soon breaking away from their closest rivals, the pair crossed the finish line almost twelve seconds ahead of the rest of the field
Fellow Spaniards Sara Sanchez (511 Terra&Vita Racing Team) and Beatriz Neila (Ampito / Pata Prometeon Yamaha) were embroiled in an exciting battle of their own for third, a duel that was ultimately won by Sara, with Beatriz closing just a fraction behind in fourth
Israeli rider Ran Yochay (511 Terra&Vita Racing Team) and Australian Tayla Relph (Tayco Motorsport) both brought home solid points after crossing the line P5 and P6 respectively
Chun Mei Liu (WT Racing Team Taiwan) sustained a back injury after a lap two crash and has been transported to Queen’s Medical Centre for further assessment. Mallory Dobbs (Sekhmet Motorcycle Racing Team) also failed to finish after crashing on lap five, while Yamaha Motoxracing WCR team-mates Roberta Ponziani and Ornella Ongaro both went down at turn 11 on lap seven

P1 | Maria Herrera | Klint Forward Factory Team
“I felt confident that we could do well today. I was fast in warm-up and knew that I had to push right from the start of the race to build a gap. Ana followed me but I knew I was going to be able to battle until the end as I felt comfortable and strong on the brakes. I was pretty angry about the Race 1 result, to be honest, as I knew I had the potential to finish at least P2 but lost ground when I had to brake to avoid Beatriz when she made a mistake. So honestly I set out to make up for that result today, aware that I needed to break away from the pack early on to avoid any risky situations.”
P2 | Ana Carrasco | Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team
“I’m really happy with my weekend and it was difficult to ask for more. I wanted the win in Race 2 and did my best but lost a little time on the first lap with Beatriz, which meant I then had to push to reach Maria, who was really fast in the beginning. I eventually caught her and got in front but in the end, she got the better of me when I ran wide. But we’ve had a good weekend, scoring pole, a race win and the fastest lap in Race 2 so this is a positive result. I felt really good and now it will be important to continue in this way, as I know Maria and I will battle like this all season long. We’re really close in the championship right now and so we need to continue working to be ready for the next round at Portimao.”
P3 | Sara Sanchez | 511 Terra&Vita Racing Team
“Ana and Maria had more than us today; I did my best to stick with them through the early stages, but it was not possible, their pace was simply stronger. I lost ground when Neila passed me, and it was hard to close that gap once it opened up in front of us. I was also struggling a little with corner entry in some places. But the important thing is to be on the podium, and we were able to secure third again today, so we’re pleased with that.”

Smashing time for Sekhmet Racing at Donington Park
Three DNFs, one DNS and one fractured scaphoid. You couldn’t make it up.
Donington Park UK, 14 July 2024
The second round of the World WCR Championship proved to be a trying weekend for Sekhmet Motorcycle Racing Team. Despite promising performances, no points were secured.
Mallory Dobbs showed potential with two near top-10 finishes. Unfortunately, her first race saw her tenth position lost due after interference from another competitor on the last corner of the last lap. In the second race, Dobbs was in P9 when she suffered a crash with seven laps remaining, ending her race prematurely.
Lissy Whitmore also faced difficulties. She sustained a fractured scaphoid following a crash at Craner Curves in Race 1, rendering her unfit to compete in the rest of the weekend’s events.
The team remains determined to make strides in the following rounds with plans to follow for Portimao, August 9-11.
Maddi Patterson, Team Principal
First of all to our Lissy, I hope she recovers and recuperates. She has made strides and I won’t be told otherwise. It was an unfortunate crash that left her with a broken scaphoid – it happens.
Unfortunately for Mallory, it felt like she had her points taken from her yesterday. The lack of cohesion of rulings across classes is quite obvious as well. Today, however, I’m not sure what to say really. What will be, will be.
My observation of the box this weekend was quite simple – there is a fixation on the things we don’t have rather than improving the things we do. I can’t sit here and make excuses for the performance; it’s a single make championship. Motorcycle riding on the world stage is all encompassing, and I’m afraid it is all part of the job.
Donington is one to forget.
Mallory Dobbs, #14
Race 1 DNF, Race 2 DNF
It was shit. Our goal today was to get a good start and to hang on to that front group. We did that. We slotted into eighth off the line, so gained four spots off the grid. We stuck up with one other person that was up there, and really just hanging onto it for the most of the race. I dropped a whole second from yesterday, went faster than we did yesterday. We had a pace – kept clicking off 1 minute 41s so really only one or two seconds off the fast girls. We tucked the front in a place that a lot of people tuck the front. And I don’t have long legs like Toprak to save me. That’s basically what happened.
It’s hard to think about the positives, as it’s probably the shittiest race weekend I’ve had in my career. There’s that. But there are things – we did do some development. We did work our way through the pack. We have the pace and we showed it – even if the results don’t.
Reset. Do some training at home. Ride the bike. Learn some more about the front end, just really try to figure out how we can ride around this front end. Everyone is dealing with the same thing, so we got to figure out how to ride it. Regardless of if it sucks or not, we’re all dealing with the same things. That’s the nice thing about the same bike championship. So yeah, just go home, learn more about it, ride some more, regroup and try to mentally forget a lot of this negative stuff and start planning for Portimao.

This contract renewal underscores Ducati North America’s commitment to supporting Warhorse HSBK Racing and the MotoAmerica Superbike championship series. The partnership will remain in effect through the 2029 racing season.
PJ Jacobsen won MotoAmerica Supersport Race Two Sunday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, in Monterey, California. Riding his Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL Panigale V2 on Dunlop control tires, Jacobsen used an aggressive last-lap pass on title rival Mathew Scholtz to claim the victory – his fifth of the season.
Scholtz led most of the race on his Strack Racing Yamaha YZF-R6, but the South African fell victim to Jacobsen on the final lap and had to settle for finishing second and continuing in the Championship point lead.
Blake Davis backed up his podium performance in Race One with another third-place finish in Race Two on his N2 Racing/BobbleHeadMoto Yamaha.
Rahal Ducati Moto w/Roller Die + Forming’s Corey Alexander finished fourth.

Riding his Jones Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP on Dunlop control tires, Yates took the lead early in the 14-lap race, withstood pressure all the way to the end, and held on to collect his career-first win in the class.
Jayson Uribe led early, dropped backwards, caught back up to Yates with the fastest lap of the race, but had to settle for the runner-up spot on his OrangeCat Racing BMW M 1000 RR.
Defending Champion Hayden Gillim also had a complicated race that saw him slip all the way back to sixth, but he fought forward in the second half of the race to score third on his Real Steel Motorsports Honda.
Andrew Lee got fourth on his Motorsport Exotica BMW, and Danilo Lewis rounded out the top five on his Team Brazil BMW.
Adrian Huertas won FIM Supersport World Championship Race Two Sunday at Donington Park, in England.

P1 | Maria Herrera | Klint Forward Factory Team
“I felt confident that we could do well today. I was fast in warm-up and knew that I had to push right from the start of the race to build a gap. Ana followed me but I knew I was going to be able to battle until the end as I felt comfortable and strong on the brakes. I was pretty angry about the Race 1 result, to be honest, as I knew I had the potential to finish at least P2 but lost ground when I had to brake to avoid Beatriz when she made a mistake. So honestly I set out to make up for that result today, aware that I needed to break away from the pack early on to avoid any risky situations.”
P2 | Ana Carrasco | Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team
“I’m really happy with my weekend and it was difficult to ask for more. I wanted the win in Race 2 and did my best but lost a little time on the first lap with Beatriz, which meant I then had to push to reach Maria, who was really fast in the beginning. I eventually caught her and got in front but in the end, she got the better of me when I ran wide. But we’ve had a good weekend, scoring pole, a race win and the fastest lap in Race 2 so this is a positive result. I felt really good and now it will be important to continue in this way, as I know Maria and I will battle like this all season long. We’re really close in the championship right now and so we need to continue working to be ready for the next round at Portimao.”
P3 | Sara Sanchez | 511 Terra&Vita Racing Team
“Ana and Maria had more than us today; I did my best to stick with them through the early stages, but it was not possible, their pace was simply stronger. I lost ground when Neila passed me, and it was hard to close that gap once it opened up in front of us. I was also struggling a little with corner entry in some places. But the important thing is to be on the podium, and we were able to secure third again today, so we’re pleased with that.”

Smashing time for Sekhmet Racing at Donington Park
Three DNFs, one DNS and one fractured scaphoid. You couldn’t make it up.
Donington Park UK, 14 July 2024
The second round of the World WCR Championship proved to be a trying weekend for Sekhmet Motorcycle Racing Team. Despite promising performances, no points were secured.
Mallory Dobbs showed potential with two near top-10 finishes. Unfortunately, her first race saw her tenth position lost due after interference from another competitor on the last corner of the last lap. In the second race, Dobbs was in P9 when she suffered a crash with seven laps remaining, ending her race prematurely.
Lissy Whitmore also faced difficulties. She sustained a fractured scaphoid following a crash at Craner Curves in Race 1, rendering her unfit to compete in the rest of the weekend’s events.
The team remains determined to make strides in the following rounds with plans to follow for Portimao, August 9-11.
Maddi Patterson, Team Principal
First of all to our Lissy, I hope she recovers and recuperates. She has made strides and I won’t be told otherwise. It was an unfortunate crash that left her with a broken scaphoid – it happens.
Unfortunately for Mallory, it felt like she had her points taken from her yesterday. The lack of cohesion of rulings across classes is quite obvious as well. Today, however, I’m not sure what to say really. What will be, will be.
My observation of the box this weekend was quite simple – there is a fixation on the things we don’t have rather than improving the things we do. I can’t sit here and make excuses for the performance; it’s a single make championship. Motorcycle riding on the world stage is all encompassing, and I’m afraid it is all part of the job.
Donington is one to forget.
Mallory Dobbs, #14
Race 1 DNF, Race 2 DNF
It was shit. Our goal today was to get a good start and to hang on to that front group. We did that. We slotted into eighth off the line, so gained four spots off the grid. We stuck up with one other person that was up there, and really just hanging onto it for the most of the race. I dropped a whole second from yesterday, went faster than we did yesterday. We had a pace – kept clicking off 1 minute 41s so really only one or two seconds off the fast girls. We tucked the front in a place that a lot of people tuck the front. And I don’t have long legs like Toprak to save me. That’s basically what happened.
It’s hard to think about the positives, as it’s probably the shittiest race weekend I’ve had in my career. There’s that. But there are things – we did do some development. We did work our way through the pack. We have the pace and we showed it – even if the results don’t.
Reset. Do some training at home. Ride the bike. Learn some more about the front end, just really try to figure out how we can ride around this front end. Everyone is dealing with the same thing, so we got to figure out how to ride it. Regardless of if it sucks or not, we’re all dealing with the same things. That’s the nice thing about the same bike championship. So yeah, just go home, learn more about it, ride some more, regroup and try to mentally forget a lot of this negative stuff and start planning for Portimao.

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
