MotoAmerica: Round #2 Triumph Race Preview – Atlanta



Bobby Fong race action shot Triumph Motorcycles Press Release: The Latus Motors Racing team welcomes Kenny Riedmann to race alongside Bobby Fong in the MotoAmerica Supersport class at the Road Atlanta round in Baselton, Georgia, this weekend, April 17-19. Riedmann, the reigning CSBK Pro Sport Bike Champion, will be riding the #21 Latus Motors Racing / Castrol / Triumph Daytona 675R and is eager to start his 2015 season on U.S. soil ahead of the Canadian Superbike Championship. “First off, I want to thank the Latus Motors Racing team for giving me the opportunity to ride this weekend at Road Atlanta,” said Riedmann. “I’m looking forward to getting on a bike for the first time this season and am hoping to get the team a good result.” Bobby Fong had a promising start to the 2015 season aboard his #50 Latus Motors Racing / Castrol / Triumph Daytona 675R , leading the first practice session and qualifying second at the Circuit Of The Americas last weekend. Rain started to fall just before the start of Saturday’s Supersport race, forcing riders to change from slick to rain tires. During the race, Fong was entrenched in a battle for first before sliding out on the last lap. He was able to remount his Daytona 675R and finish ninth. “On the last lap, I was in second place and it started dumping rain. Unfortunately I hit a seam in the middle of the track and ended up crashing,” stated Bobby Fong. “There were a lot of positives, but not the results we wanted. Luckily we were able to salvage some points.” Latus Motors Racing will be competing with a new purpose after the recently announced Castrol’s VETMotorsports Performance Match Fund. Sgt. Chad C., who was deployed for Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom as part of the Marine Corps, will be placed with the team as a crew member at Road Atlanta. The MotoAmerica Supersport races will be held on Saturday, April 18 at 1:00pm EDT and Sunday, April 19 at 1:00pm EDT. Television coverage will follow on CBS Sports Network on Sunday, April 26.
