PIRELLI RIDERS SHARE THE TOP PLACES AT INFINEON AMA EVENT
Rome, GA: On a seriously sunny Sunday in Sonoma, California, the AMA Superstock race came to a close with an even split of the top-ten finishers; five of them being Pirelli riders. In order of finish, that'd be five, six, seven, nine and ten, and they'd be Blake Young, Robertino Pietri, Chris Ulrich, Scott Jensen, and David Anthony, in that same order, all using Pirelli Superbike Slicks. Young rides for M4 EMGO Suzuki, Pietri and Ulrich ride for Roadracingworld.com, and Jensen rides for Team Moto-Garage By the way, in 11th was Hawk Mazzotta on the HALOF Racing/Bravo Condoms Suzuki GSX-R1000, also on Pirelli tires.
The Superstock points for the season show six Pirelli riders in the top ten, though weirdly three of them are in fifth. Leading the group is Chris Ulrich in third, tied with Geoff May. Tied for fifth are Blake Young, Robertino Pietri, and Scott Jensen, with David Anthony alone in eighth, once fifth becomes solid. With seven rounds remaining, all of them have a mathematical chance at the championship.
The sun shone the same Sunday afternoon on the AMA Supersport race, where Pirelli riders numbered three in the top ten, led by M4 EMGO Suzuki rider Blake Young, who finished fourth. His teammate Cory West earned seventh and Attack Kawasaki’s Chaz Davies was tenth. After sitting out each round since Daytona, Michael Barnes took 11th in Supersport for the M4 EMGO Suzuki team.
The Supersport points have Young in fourth with teammate West in eighth. Attack Kawasaki’s Davies is listed as sixth for the season, with his teammate Rapp in tenth. The next round of the AMA series is at Miller Motorsports Park, May 29-June 1, combined in one weekend with the USA round of the World Superbike series.
