Gagne Brings the Heat to The Ridge

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Fresh N Lean Progressive Yamaha Racing’s #jakegagne set a blistering pace to break track records and score a commanding victory in today’s MotoAmerica Superbike Race 1 at #theridgemotorsportspark. #cameronpetersen finished comfortably in second to give the team another stellar 1-2 finish.

Once again, Gagne set the bar at the 2.5-mile track in Shelton, #washington, topping every session and breaking the track record en route to his sixth-consecutive pole position this season. The reigning MotoAmerica Superbike Champion then grabbed the holeshot three times in the twice-restarted race. He put his head down and threw down some fast laps in the abbreviated eight-lap race, breaking the race-lap record twice to win by nearly a four-second margin. Gagne’s fourth win of the season closed the gap to 16 points on the championship leader.

Petersen also showed speed straight away in his first outing at #theridgemotorsportspark aboard the Attack Yamaha R1. He qualified third to join his teammate on the front row and started second on the grid as the series points leader served a three-position grid penalty in today’s race. He also had three great starts slotted behind Gagne and would remain unchallenged in the runner-up spot all the way to the checkered flag. 

The Fresh N Lean Progressive #yamaharacing Team lines up again tomorrow at #theridgemotorsportspark for the second race of Round 6 of the #motoamericasuperbikechampionship.

“These Yamahas have been working great all weekend. I’m glad we were able to get three great starts with all the red flag drama, and it’s awesome to take 1-2 finish for the team. We’re ready to race in the heat again tomorrow!”

“It was a great day today! I’m having so much fun riding my bike around The Ridge, and I’m also happy to have made a step forward. Once again, the Attack Yamahas went 1-2, so I’m looking forward to more of the same tomorrow.”
