Where does it say “beginner class”
Especially in a professional series??

he’s signed up, didn’t ask for special rules and has played by the rules set forth by the org.

lol weren’t you in DMG during the rolling starts? You might wanna sit this one out. LOL.

Well, CW is MotoA age range of 14-28......

 

Straight from Moto Americas web site.


What is MotoAmerica Junior Cup?
The Junior Cup class is MotoAmerica's entry level class, featuring riders as young as 14 competing on small-displacement, production-based motorcycles.

Evidently Moto America is presenting it as an entry level class which basically equates into a beginners class. It also mentions an age group of 14-25. So yes a 28 YO experienced rider who is also a consistent top ten place finisher in the Twins class seems a bit disingenuous and a departure from the original intent of the class structure/purpose.

I’m pretty sure DMG never actually implemented the rolling starts or a pace bike.

 

Yeah it's definitely weird. His first pro race was in 2010.

For reference, Kayla Yaakov was four years old in 2010.

I think this is kinda more on MA than anything though. The age spread is too wide and if you've already been racing in other classes as a pro you shouldn't be allowed to bump down.

Where’s @tophyr pitted? Need to stalk some more people…

 

He took 4 years off and his only way to come back racing financially was in junior cup, which in turn has opened the door for him to get a ride in twins half way through this season. His career is back on track because of the opportunity he wasn’t too proud to take.
Went from 9-5 working at the apple store to full time racing and coaching.
Come at me if you want, not him. I am super proud of him.

 

<mic drop>

 

Like superbike to supersport? That would be bumping down, wouldn’t it?

CW didn’t make the rules , he’s using them to his advantage. Nothing wrong with it. And he’s a class act in that series.
