TUCSON, Ariz. (Oct. 22) -- The KWR Ducati Team is ready to cap off the 2020 season at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca this weekend for the round 9 and the final MotoAmerica Superbike event of the year. Kyle Wyman will ride the #33 Ducati Richmond/KWR Ducati Panigale V4 R for the triple header Superbike weekend.
Wyman currently sits 7th in series standings with 145 total points scored, and just 21 points out of 5th place with three points-paying Superbike races yet to run in the final round this coming weekend. The KWR team hopes to score valuable points and claw back up to 5th overall on the season. Wyman looks poised to break his personal best season points haul of 157 points that he scored in the 2018 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, finishing 8th overall.
The Laguna Seca race track should give Wyman a great opportunity to fight again for podium positions, with some data gained from the 2019 event. Wyman was taken out in the first race at Laguna last year however, and scored zero points on the weekend.
"I'm excited to get back to one of my favorite racetracks on the schedule at Laguna Seca," Wyman said. "Last year this was one of our better Friday results, but in race one I was taken out last year and broke my wrist, so we do not have some race-long data to compare to. I feel great after the third race at Indy though and I feel like our bike should work well at Laguna this year. Big thanks to the Ducati Richmond dealership in Canada who supports our team, and can't wait to put on a good show for the fans all over the world who have tuned in to MotoAmerica this year."
Action begins at 10:40am PST Friday, October 23rd with a Superbike QP1 session. With one race on Saturday, and two on Sunday, all three races will be shown live on FS2 and the MotoAmerica Live+ streaming service.
