The 17 year old, who was in contention for a podium in Saturday’s opening race, showed true form today, despite bring bruised from his slip-off, to bring home the team’s first podium now that racing started under a closed-circuit environment due to the ongoing crisis, and under strict social distancing, at the Elkhart Lake venue in Wisconsin.
He said after the race in a TV broadcast: “It’s definitely been a tough day after yesterday, as ultimately I wanted to be on top, but the goal was to be on the podium, so thank you to all the M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team.”
• Superbike riders Toni Elias and Bobby Fong were unlucky to both slide off when they were in challenging positions in the early and mid-parts of the 12-lap MotoAmerica Superbike race.
