MotoAmerica 2020 Round 2 - June 26-28 Road America

[Map8]

Stuff the cooler with more brats and cheese. Round 2 of MotoAmerica's 2020 season is this weekend. The only big news/controversy is MA adding 22lbs to PJ Jacobsen's Celtic/HSBK Ducati Panigale V4R for racing in the STK1000 and Superbike Cup classes. Kyle Wyman's full Superbike-spec V4R does not get the same penalty.

Spectators are allowed and there are plenty of activities: "Meet over 120 riders in our open race paddock! Camping, VIP and Fan Lap packages available. Saturday features Vintage MotoFest which includes a ride-in bike show and competition plus an arm-wrestling tournament, craft beer tasting, live bands, and stunt shows. Fans with motorcycles are encouraged to pre-register for a unique ‘Salute to Cycles’ on-track Parade Lap Experience. Kids 16 and under are free with a paying adult." Not sure how that arm-wrestling tournament is going to comply with any COVID-19 restrictions but its Wisconsin so maybe everyone has to wear several layers of Packers' jerseys as PPE.

Weekend TV Schedule. (No, I don't know why they made it so small and used condensed fonts when they clearly had room to make this easier to read.)

Thanks. I was looking for that graphic.

I'm an MA+ subscriber but I didn't receive it.

I received an email yesterday from MA with it, so seemed appropriate to add.

Suzuki will definitely see the performance difference between a proper factory funded team and one with part timers. Poor Toni

Nice job SDK40 and team! P1 in SSP by .069!

 

[budman]

Good to watch racing today.

I was surprised to see many guys in Gagne's pits not wearing masks.

Quite a few others too.

Fong showed his strength today.

Good to see.

Cam still in a class by himself. Its good to see Fong make so much progress since last month. Really wanted to see Wyman nab that last podium spot. Bummed for KW.

Revised results from Superbike Race 1. It was determined that Elias passed Wyman under a yellow flag while they battled on the last lap. Elias was docked two seconds which promoted Wyman to the podium.

1. Beaubier
2. Fong
3. K. Wyman
