2021 MotoAmerica Silly Season

100% agree. He is the third best rider in that class and that's only down to lack of experience on the 600. He makes strides every time he gets on the thing. He got a 1:57 down to a 1:50.6 at Daytona.

 

I hope you guys are right. Paasch looked really good too. If they can pull in Richie, a consistent 3 or 4 way battle for SS would be epic.

I did hear Richie is riding SS again right?

 

Pretty sure Paasch is off to Great Britain for there version of Moto2.

 

Oh, you're right. I remember that now. Good for him! He should make us proud.

 

Registration closed yesterday for the COTA test, fingers crossed we will get some news sometime soon

 

well, M4 announced two riders..

i’m excited to see petersen on a superbike.

 

Wow, they finally told us, HORRAY!

 

So who are they going to have on the STK1000? Dumas said he has an offer from them for the last 2 rounds, but are they going to have anybody for the rest of the season?

 

Great! Let's go test tires at a track we won't race at.

 

Also thought it was cool to see Liam Grant campaign another 636 this year, backed by Graves.

Stoked to get confirmation from Team Hammer. Wonder why it took so friggin long!!?

 

Interesting they don't announce the 600 riders, yet SDK rode a 600 bike at Daytona.

 

Did SDK "rent" the ride/ team at the Giant Club race?

 

No idea, I did wonder if his dad was there? I know this wasn't a MA race, but I think the ban of his dad would be over by now? I was actually impressed how well SDK handled that last second gut wrenching defeat. Showed an increased level of maturity to me.

 

Dumas hopes to be riding the last two MA rounds with his Canadian team, not with M4.

 

Lochoff is confirmed for M4 in Supersport. Curious why they havn't announced SDK unless he's still trying to get across the pond this late in the game.

 

I was wondering if they would stick SDK on the Stock 1000 then enter him in some superbike races like they did with AD last year

 

That's actually an interesting idea. If they did that, that would really open up the 600 class to new podium guys and I could see Rocco podiuming in the first race, after Escalante wins every race.

In the past three years these podium contending guys are out of that class: Bobby Fong, PJ Jacobsen, Bryce Prince, Valentine Debise, Brandon Paash, Garret Gerloff, Braedon Ort, JD Beach, Hayden Gillim, Michael Gilbert, Nick McFadden, Jason Aguilar, and SDK if he goes,

 

geezzzzz..with the exception of gerloff and fong, this list makes me sad.

 

I may have missed it but has there been an announcement from Elias?
