[motorcycle.com] - Yamaha bLU cRU Looks Ahead To Road America MotoAmerica Round
Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI, is a favorite stop on the MotoAmerica Road*Racing schedule for the Yamaha*bLU cRU*teams and*racers…and for good reason. Not only does the*bLU cRU*love the*4.05-mile,*14-turn natural road course, but they also love the enthusiasm and welcoming*spirit of the*Road America fans. Those two factors have*clearly contributed to Yamaha’s phenomenal success in Wisconsin. A total of 28*race victories in the past six years makes Road America more like*“Rode A*Yamaha.” In fact, last year, in MotoAmerica’s inaugural visit to Road America,*Yamaha*bLU cRU*riders won all eight*races in which they were eligible to compete–a perfect record in Superbike,*Superstock 1000, Supersport, and Superstock 600. Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha*Factory Racing: Beaubier & Hayes Defending MotoAmerica Superbike*Champion Cameron Beaubier, who has won a class-leading four races aboard his #1*Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha Factory Racing*YZF-R1 so far in 2016, comes into*Road America in second place after notching a win in Sunday’s second Superbike*race at VIRginia International Raceway. Cameron*won Saturday’s Superbike Race 1*at Road America last year, so he’ll be racing hard this weekend to retake the lead*in the 2016 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship. The current MotoAmerica*Superbike points leader is “Mr. Road America” himself, four-time AMA Superbike*Champion Josh Hayes, who has won a whopping total of eight*Superbike races at*Road America. Josh has won at least one of the two Superbike races at Road*America every single year, starting with his breakthrough Saturday*victory in*2010. And he also swept both Road America Superbike races for two years in a*row, in 2012 and 2013. Josh won his first Superbike*race of the 2016 season in Virginia aboard his #4 Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha*Factory Racing R1, and he extended his Championship*lead to 11 points over his*teammate Cameron. Superbike Superpole*(Qualifying) begins on Saturday at 2:00 PM CST. Superbike Race 1 will go green*on Sunday at12:30 PM CST, and Superbike Race 2 is later on*Sunday at 4:00 PM CST. Yamaha Extended*Service/Graves/Yamaha: Beach & Gerloff Defending*MotoAmerica Supersport Champion JD Beach returns to Road America, which is*where he started a winning streak last year that ultimately led to his 2015*Supersport title. JD won Sunday’s Supersport Race 2 last year, and he’s hoping to*start another winning streak aboard his #1 Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha YZF-R6 this*weekend*in Wisconsin. Speaking of*winning streaks, JD’s teammate Garrett Gerloff is currently enjoying one of his*own. The rider of the #31 Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha R6 earned the pole at*VIRginia International Raceway*and went on to win both VIR races, which extended Garrett’s 2016 MotoAmerica*Supersport Championship lead to 31 points coming into*Wisconsin. Supersport*Qualifying is*Saturday at*9:20 AM CST. Supersport Race 1*is scheduled for*Saturday at 4:00 PM CST, and Supersport Race 2 will go green on Sunday at 2:45*PM CST.
