Aprilia Racing in the Moto-ST Series

[Smithers]

What is Aprilia racing? Well everyone knows they are pushing the RSV4 into the limelight racing World SuperBike this year. They also are pulling the #1 in THE SUNTRUST MOTO-ST SERIES TO AIR ON SPEED TV.

I just happened to come across the last half of a race the other night... midnight sometime, on SPeed TV. It was pretty cool. It was more of a grassroots type thing and there were more mechanical issues with the bikes than I imagined... not Aprilia but Ducati. Doug Polen had a hard time playing catch up with the field as his racing partner who started the race just isn't up to speed with the other bikes. Pretty interesting and I wonder what will come in the future for this MotoST Series.

We also have the 8-hour of Daytona Moto-ST Race.

Had to update this post as Moto-ST doesn't seem to be running this 2010 year? The AMA roadracing world is changing fast. The factories have some hard decisions to make. LiterBike class or Daytona Superbike. Seems like factories are also looking for excuses to get out of roadracing for the time being as well. If I run into Doug Polen I'll have to ask him what's going on with this and if there's any hope for Moto-ST to come back.
