MotoAmerica 2022 silly season

I can sure everyone that there was a lot of factory support behind the twins cup project. Can't wait to see the big bike out on the grid

This is good news. More people from outside the country taking an interest in American racing.

 

That should lock up all 3 of the Bulgarian fans in the US.

 

Didn’t Alpha run WSBK? Maybe it was the German series?
Anyways, cool. Hope he doesn’t suck, MA could use all that Bulgarian cash and sponsors.

 

lol, that’s as cold as me thinking Flinders has some competition now.

 

Ha, came here to post that link.

Also, I saw on IG that Kyle Wyman has recently tested a M1kRR. BMW looking to push harder in MA? It seems they're ramping up their racing effort and investing heavily into the bike.

 

I just wonder why if BMW was getting more involved in MA why not start with Schiebe? They have a team ready and if Hector stays they have a really good rider.

 

I think it's more so people are being involved with BMW more in motoamerica, vs BMW as a company being more involved with motoamerica.

 

BMW has a pretty good contingency program for MotoAmerica.
They also have an engineer at all rounds that can help BMW riders.


Interesting that Alpha is backing this team up. They make all the aftermarket parts for the beemer (race ECU/Harness)

 

Hopefully the Bulgarian mob money doesn't dry up before next year...

 

The Triumph could be a weapon. Afaik the 765 Daytona chassis is nearly identical to the 2013+ 675R.

 

675R had M4s, 765R has Stylemas. Chassis is the same. I know Richard Stanboli and AP had a lot of success on a 13+ 675R.

 

When are you announcing Lorenzo Salvatori as the rider for the RSV Factory in stock 1000?

 

I want to see wyman do well next season so I really hope he doesn’t ride that BMW - can’t help to think his results will be the same if not worse than on the Ducati.

 

Just got a notification on another forum that it looks like Baz won’t be back in Motoamerica.

 

GPOne agrees:

Yep. Same source. Was really hoping he would stay.

 

On the bright side, his brother's been riding one for a couple seasons now...maybe he can share some data.

 

So... I got the WSBK portion right.

Wyman to Warhorse.. Still stands.
