Road Atlanta MotoAmerica Results 2019
Road Atlanta MotoAmerica Results – Sunday
Yoshimura Suzuki’s Toni Elias won his first race of the 2019 MotoAmerica EBC Brakes Superbike Series, the Spaniard besting Westby Racing’s Mathew Scholtz by 1.839 seconds under sunny skies in the Suzuki Championship at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
The win, combined with his second place from Saturday, gives Elias the early lead in the EBC Brakes Superbike Championship with 45 points – four more than yesterday’s race winner Cameron Beaubier, who was third today.
As was the case yesterday, the Superbike race began with six riders running together at the front with those three – Elias, Scholtz and Beaubier – joined by Beaubier’s Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing teammate Garrett Gerloff, Attack Performance Estenson Racing’s JD Beach and Yoshimura Suzuki’s Josh Herrin.
Gerloff was the first to have issues, the Texan slowed by a front fender flapping in the wind. Despite repeated attempts at kicking the bodywork off his bike, Gerloff eventually had to pull over to remove the fender. He would continue onward and eventually finish ninth.
Herrin, meanwhile, lacked the pace to stay with the top four with the race coming down to just three in the final laps as the trio pulled slightly clear of Beach. Then both Beaubier and Scholtz were bauked badly by a back marker with two laps to go, costing them any shot at Elias and also allowing Beach to move to the tail of the battling duo. Scholtz ended up getting the edge on Beaubier to take second with Beach finishing just .3 of a second off the back of the defending MotoAmerica Superbike Champion.
Apparently, the birth of his son just a few weeks ago hasn’t slowed Elias who leaves the opening round with the points lead for the fourth straight season.
“Everybody was telling me that,” Elias said of his pace being slowed with having a child. “I was kind of worried. When he was born, in my head I said, ‘what the heck? Now I have a really strong reason to fight for,’ so that’s what happened. I’m super motivated. I didn’t slow down. So, I’m happy. This winter the team worked so good. But, honestly, I was thinking to be more comfortable in these first rounds. Last year to be more competitive we took a good direction. I was thinking this would change a little bit… but then we arrive here and seems different… all the time the bike is moving a lot around. We were going to do some changes for this morning, but we couldn’t try anything. For everybody it was the same. Same tire. Harder than yesterday. I was not thinking yesterday to do that slow pace. I think it’s the race. A little bit frustrated. I couldn’t do what I wanted. In the mid part of the race I start to lose a lot of grip, maybe less than JD and Mathew. But Cameron was so strong. I missed something there. Anyway, for today I was going to use the same tire as Dunlop wanted, and it was really good. The tire has been super consistent all the race, but we still have to improve in some areas. Anyway, yesterday 20 points. Could be zero. Now 25 (points), so perfect Sunday.”
Scholtz was much happier on Sunday, the South African putting his Yamaha second after fighting with Elias for most of the race.
“I was following Toni and I kind of thought that there were one or two places where I could pass him that would have been sketchy, but I think it would have been possible,” Scholtz said. “So, I was trying to save it for the final lap. Then, unfortunately, I think it was going into corner six, Cameron (Beaubier) passed me and then we were coming up on the lapped rider. I was hoping that Cameron was going to pass him and actually stand him up kind of thing, or the lapped rider would follow Cameron and I could draft him and sort of get up next to Cameron and pass him and set up the final lap. Unfortunately, he took them pretty hard. Cameron touched him, which kind of let me pass Cameron, but then the lapped rider sort of moved from the right-hand side to the left and we both had to shut off. Then I was worried about JD catching us. The final lap I just passed Cameron and Toni was maybe about one to two seconds up. I knew I was never going to catch him, so I was riding pretty defensively after that. I was very, very happy to be up here in second place after yesterday’s fourth. It was a little bit of a disaster towards the end yesterday. I was sketchy. I was almost crashing at every corner. So we made a change, and now it’s almost 10 times better. So, we’ll just keep on moving forward and finish on the podium at every race.”
Based on his past results in the season opener, Beaubier was also pleased with how things went over the course of the weekend and he leaves with a solid point score of 41 after a win and third-place finish.
“At the end of the day I’m pretty happy coming out of here with a first and a third and a decent amount of points – a lot more points than we’ve come out of the first round in the last few years,” Beaubier said. “So, I’m thankful for that, but I’m pretty frustrated with how the race went. I felt like I got off to a lot better start than I did yesterday. My first couple laps were quite a bit better than yesterday. I just couldn’t really do anything. I couldn’t drive on anybody. We made a couple changes this morning and we didn’t get to evaluate them. So we just kind of went into the race like that thinking it was going to be better. I think it was worse. But at the end of the day, we’re coming out of here with good points, like I said. I can make all the excuses I want. I just got flat out beat. These two are riding really, really good right now. It was a tough day, but I’m happy we salvaged some good points, like I said, starting as far back as we did. I’m excited it’s race season. Time to go racing.”
Herrin ended up fifth in his second race on the Yoshimura Suzuki, the Georgian having crashed out of Saturday’s race. M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Jake Lewis was sixth, well behind Herrin and ahead of FLY Racing/ADR Motorsports’ David Anthony, the team owner rider having a solid weekend with sixth- and seventh-place finishes.
Ameris Bank/CCFOfficeSolutions.com’s Geoff May finished eighth with Gerloff and Omega Moto’s Cameron Petersen rounding out the top 10.
Kyle Wyman and Jake Gagne both failed to finish. Wyman crashed the KWR Ducati and Gagne had mechanical issues with the Scheibe Racing BMW.
Supersport – Fong Gets It Done
In Supersport, Saturday’s second-place finisher Bobby Fong came back strong on Sunday and notched the race win aboard his M4 ECSTAR Suzuki. Second-place finisher PJ Jacobsen kept Fong honest throughout the majority of the 18-lap race to record his first MotoAmerica podium result in his second race aboard his Celtic HSBK Racing Yamaha. Hudson Motorcycles – HB Racing Yamaha rider Richie Escalante finished third and dedicated the race to his grandfather after getting the sad news earlier in the day that he had passed away.
About his second-place finish on Saturday and race win on Sunday, Fong commented, “I’m definitely excited. It’s good to be on top of the box for sure. After yesterday’s misfortune, it’s good to be back up here. PJ rode a great race. I was just trying to do consistent laps out there. I knew I could stay in the 28s for the whole race, and that’s the goal. Late last night, I couldn’t even sleep because all I was thinking about was strategizing how am I going to out-brake Hayden Gillim? Unfortunately, he wasn’t there. That’s one of his strong suits. Even if you’re a faster rider, he would out-brake me every time. So, I was definitely thinking about strategies all night. Couldn’t even sleep. When it came down to it, I just needed to worry about myself and focus on my own pace and what I could do, so that’s what I did. I saw PJ and I didn’t expect to see PJ there for sure. I knew he was going to be in the group, but I didn’t know that when I hit the false neutral during the race, and I actually hit another false neutral in the last turn, that he was going to be right there. I thought for sure Hayden was just going to slam me right off the track. But it was good battling with PJ. Our bike definitely jumped off the corners compared with theirs. We definitely used our advantages today.”
Liqui Moly Junior Cup – That Kid Rocco Again
In Liqui Moly Junior Cup, Saturday’s race winner Rocco Landers did the double and got the win on Sunday aboard his Landers Racing Kawasaki. Almost a carbon copy of yesterday, he got a great jump off the line from the pole position, led the 11-lap race from start to finish, and pulled a gap of nearly five seconds. Dallas Daniels, the second-place finisher from Saturday’s race, once again finished second on Sunday aboard his Quarterley Racing/On Track Development Kawasaki. Altus Motorsports rider Kevin Olmedo finished third to complete the podium.
After his second victory of the weekend, Landers compared the race pace from yesterday with today and said, “It felt faster, honestly. I could see the times and stuff, but (we) were flying. I could see on the first lap he got by me and I was like, this is going to be a battle. I enjoyed it a lot.”
Stock 1000 – Lee Begins Title Defense With A Win
Last year’s Stock 1000 champion Andrew Lee got his 2019 season off to a flying start with a win in Sunday’s race. The Northern Californian is defending his title aboard his #1 Franklin Armory/Graves Kawasaki, and he stalked second-place finisher Michael Gilbert, who led the majority of the race on his Team Norris Racing Kawasaki until Lee made his decisive move and took the checkers. MESA37 Racing’s Stefano Mesa came in third, making it a Kawasaki podium sweep.
“I knew coming into this year with the number-one plate that I was going to have a big target on my back, especially with these two guys next to me,” Lee said. “They’re both riding phenomenally. My Franklin Armory/Graves Kawasaki ZX10R was just on rails today. I didn’t really want to make a move on Michael too early because I was worried that then I’d have to lead. I wanted to task him with the hard part. So I was trying to conserve tires as much as I could. All race I was kind of coming up on the back of him going down that hill. I knew on the last lap that I had to get a good drive out of turn seven. I got a little loose out of it, but I got a really good drive and came up on the back of him. Also coming up the inside, I’ve seen so many people tuck the front there today. I did not want to be another one on that tally. So, I was really cautious, and I kind of ran it wide. Then I knew for sure that Mike was going to kind of come squaring me up. I didn’t want to come back too hard on him because I didn’t want to risk him or my race at all.”
Twins Cup – Barnes Does The Double
The same podium finishers in Saturday’s Twins Cup race were again on the podium in Sunday’s race, and Quarterley Racing Ducati rider Michael Barnes was the race winner for the second day in a row. Barnes once again showed that experience (age) is the secret to success as he had the measure of his competitors. Defending class champ Chris Parrish improved on his Saturday third-place result by finishing second on Sunday aboard his Ghetto Customs Suzuki, and RBoM Racing’s Curtis Murray rounded out the podium in third.
“I got a horrible start,” lamented Barnes. “Popped a wheelie off the start and just got eaten up in turn one. It was just everybody was coming around me and I was just dodging everybody from every angle. Then I just tried to make some moves after that. The Ducati really does run off the corner, but I was looking at the mile an hour and those little Suzuki’s seemed to be okay mile-an-hour-wise. So I wouldn’t say I had that much of an advantage in horsepower when it just seems to come off the corner a little bit better. Maybe I’m picking up the throttle earlier, I don’t know. Regardless, the Moto Corse Performance Quarterly Racing Ducati is really good. Like I said on the podium, I think you might see more Ducati’s on the grid after this first round. I just couldn’t be more pleased with coming back and doing a double.”

Road Atlanta 2019 Results – Saturday
BRASELTON, GA (April 6, 2019)– Yoshimura Suzuki’s Toni Elias didn’t know what it was like to lose the series opener and Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing’s Cameron Beaubier didn’t know what it was like to win one. Now they both know. Beaubier beat Elias by 2.732 seconds today at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, the Californian ending Elias’ perfect streak of winning every season opener since the Spaniard came to the MotoAmerica Series in 2016.
Beaubier was happy to start the season so well, given that it’s not the norm.
“Yesterday, after the struggles we had, I was like, ‘this is the first round, this is first-round bullcrap,’ ” Beaubier said. “But it definitely turned around on us today. I had a really good practice this morning. Just got loose and felt more comfortable on the bike. We actually got some laps in. I knew going into the race it was going to be definitely a challenge, especially at the beginning just because I’m not known to be the best starter. I was back in 11th place, so I was able to slowly work my way up the first couple laps. I was watching the show. I was watching Toni (Elias) and Josh (Herrin) stuff each other, so it was pretty wild. I slowly started seeing them come back. JD (Beach) and Matty (Scholtz) were riding really good. I could not find any way around them. I was struggling a little bit off the last corner onto the back straight, and also the last corner onto the front straight. It was tough to line something up on the brakes. So, all in all I’m really happy. I really wasn’t expecting that after the day we had yesterday. Toni kind of handed me a gift there a little bit. It would have been a little different. It definitely would have been a dogfight there at the end. I’m really happy the way the season started. It’s just a good feeling being on the podium with this guy over here (JD Beach). We grew up racing together since we were 10 years old. So, it’s pretty cool. We are sitting on the Superbike podium together.”
The first EBC Brakes Superbike race was everything we thought it would be with six riders fighting at the front until two of the front runners crashed out. Pole sitter Garrett Gerloff crashed his Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing YZF-R1 on the third lap while battling for the lead and Yoshimura Suzuki’s Josh Herrin followed suit on the 11thlap while also battling at the front.
That left four to battle with Attack Performance Estenson Racing’s JD Beach and Westby Racing’s Mathew Scholtz in the fight at the front with Beaubier and Elias. The battle for victory would come down to Beaubier vs. Elias with Elias running off track in the final corner with four laps to go, handing the win to his rival. The miscue dropped Elias to fourth, but he battled back to finish second, passing Beach right at the finish line.
“Well, even if we are learning new things, the bike is really competitive,” Elias said. “I feel I can be able to be competitive in more than one part of the race. So, I know this before the race, but everything was different than what we expect. Everybody was thinking (Garrett) Gerloff could open some gap at the beginning. I was thinking I could follow him. That was our target. We knew Cameron (Beaubier) was really fast coming from the back. But everything was different. I had some trouble in the start. The bike didn’t go to neutral, then stayed in second. Then I had a super bad start where normally I’m really good at that. Then I just tried to overtake a little bit, little by little. Then I see Gerloff crash in front of me. Start to battle with my teammate Josh Herrin. Then we lose a great opportunity to be one and two. We have to learn that for the future. But the races are like this.”
Elias thought the Yoshimura Suzuki teammates would have been better off not racing each other and slowing each other down.
“That’s why I was trying so hard because my rhythm was better and I was trying to pass him and go,” Elias said. “I knew he (Beaubier) was coming. So, everything was not as we planned before. So, we played that game. We lost both, but Cam arrived just in the right moment. Cam was there and said, okay. We have to play again with Cameron in the end, so we played a little bit and a mistake. This time was different. Was the same situation but opposite in the last corner. But a mistake, I lost everything in the gravel. It could be worse. I’m happy because, like I said before, I am able to think like last year was impossible. In two laps I came back from fourth position to the second, so amazing. Great job for JD too, and congratulations, Cam.”
Beach may have been beaten at the line by Elias, but it was still his first-ever Superbike podium in his MotoAmerica Superbike debut.
“I was definitely surprised for sure,” Beach said of being able to run with the top Superbike men. “I was wanting to try and get a start with them and see what I could learn. The last time I raced one (a Superbike), I did nothing but really crash it. So I don’t really have much time from then, so it was just getting a start. I got the holeshot and I was like, ‘holy crap.’ I was leading the first lap and then Josh (Herrin) passed me. Then we got about halfway through and I was still up there. I’m like, ‘are these guys going to start going or what?’ It was an awesome race. It was fun. To get up here my first time on the bike at a track that I’m not usually great at, I’m happy. I just hope Garrett (Gerloff) and Josh (Herrin) are good for the race tomorrow. We got a lot of good data from the race today. Hopefully we can do a bit better tomorrow.”
Scholtz ended up fourth, some four seconds behind Beach with FLY Racing/ADR Motorsports’ David Anthony fifth on his Kawasaki ZX-10R.
KWR Ducati’s Kyle Wyman, M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Jake Lewis, Scheibe Racing BMW’s Jake Gagne, Omega Moto’s Cameron Petersen and Ameris Bank/CCFOfficeSolutions.com’s Geoff May rounded out the top 10.
Supersport – Hayden vs. Fong
Saturday’s Supersport riders put on quite a show for the fans at Road Atlanta, as well as for the subscribers watching on the MotoAmerica Live+ streaming service. In race one, polesitter Bobby Fong, who competes for the M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team, had a battle royale with last year’s class championship runner-up Hayden Gillim, who was aboard his Rickdiculous Racing Yamaha.
At the start, Fong got the holeshot and Gillim streaked forward from the second row and into second place right on Fong’s tail.
The two riders passed and re-passed each other, touched fairings on several occasions, and even used a little bit of “body English” on each other to try to gain an advantage. As the race wound down, Fong had a couple of missed shifts, which enabled Gillim to pull a little bit of a gap. At the checkers, Gillim won by a little more than four-and-a-half seconds over Fong. Sixteen-year-old Sean Dylan Kelly, who is Fong’s M4 ECSTAR Suzuki teammate, finished third in his MotoAmerica debut.
For Gillim and Fong, apparently all’s fair in love and motorcycle road racing because the two were all smiles after the race.
“Yesterday was a tough day for me and the team, Gillim said. “First practice session was feeling pretty good in the wet, mixed conditions. Then, I ended up having a tire go flat in one of my pit stops. So, I ended the first session early. Second session, I got one lap and the bike blew up. So we were playing a little catch-up this morning in qualifying. Luckily, I was able to get up in the top two rows. After the end of the season last year, I knew my starts were going to be pretty good. I didn’t realize they were going to be that good going from the second row into second right off the bat. I knew coming into the season that Bobby (Fong) is a fighter. If we got into it on the track it was going to be good. The first lap into 10A I spooked myself a little bit. I didn’t know I was going to go for it and then I was like, uh, ‘Okay.’ Then from there it was an all-out brawl. A couple times he got a little bit of a gap on me then made a little mistake. He made the one mistake that got me a big enough gap that I could just hold onto it until the end. After yesterday, it’s an awesome way to finish off the race, finish off the day, and to give the team the first win of the season is pretty amazing.”
Liqui Moly Junior Cup – All Landers!
In Liqui Moly Junior Cup, MotoAmerica’s class with the youngest riders, 14-year-old Rocco Landers took the field to school with a start-to-finish victory in his very first MotoAmerica race. The polesitter, who competes aboard a Landers Racing Kawasaki, got a great jump off the line and pressed his advantage all the way to the checkers to win by more than 16 seconds over Quarterley Racing/On Track Development Kawasaki rider Dallas Daniels. South African Sam Lochoff, who was also making his MotoAmerica debut, finished third aboard his Westby Racing Yamaha.
After his win, Rocco said, “In qualifying, I was able to secure pole position. I saw my time, and I was like, ‘Oh, it’s probably going to be a battle between me and Dallas (Daniels), and the other guys who were up there.’ Then I saw the pit board on the first lap, and it said one second. I’m like, ‘I’m going to try to extend my advantage and do as well as possible.’ So, I’m very happy with my position.”
Twins Cup – The Old Man And The Vee
The MotoAmerica Twins Cup class has had a major influx of entrants this season, and there is a large disparity in the age of the competitors: from 16 all the way to 50. In Saturday’s race one, those riders at the upper end of the age range showed their prowess, and the oldest of the group won the race. Fifty-year-old Michael Barnes, whose motorcycle road racing career has spanned three decades, won the race aboard his Quarterley Racing Ducati. He bested Curtis Murray, who finished second on his RBoM Racing Suzuki, and 42-year-old defending class champion Chris Parrish who was aboard his #1 Ghetto Customs Suzuki.
Barnes, whose plan to race in Twins Cup came together late, said, “Chris Boy from MotoCorse Performance contacted me. It was kind of just a thrown-together deal. ‘Are you interested in doing it?’ I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah. Let’s do it.’ So, we got a couple sessions out at a track day a week-and-a-half ago at Homestead. Got a little bit of seat time on it. Then we just came up here and got a wet session yesterday, so this morning was the first dry session. We had a lot to learn this morning. Didn’t change too much, but the bike’s just really solid.
“These guys built an incredible race bike. They have a Ducati shop down in Fort Lauderdale and they just put out a lot of good, good stuff. So, I’m just stoked that I was able to get these guys to build the bike. Bob Robbins has been the supporter behind Quarterley Racing. He’s my big supporter for this effort. I got to thank him tremendously for this opportunity. It looks like we’ll probably be doing VIR and don’t really have support after that. So, we’ll see what happens.”

Friday
BRASELTON, GA (April 5, 2019) – Monster Energy/Yamalube/Yamaha Factory Racing’s Garrett Gerloff got his 2019 season off to the best possible start with the Texan leading both of the EBC Brakes Superbike sessions on opening day at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
Road Atlanta MotoAmerica Results 2019
Gerloff led a damp morning session and followed that up with the fastest time of the day under sunny skies in the second session. Gerloff lapped at 1:25.214 to lead Yoshimura Suzuki’s Toni Elias by .138 of a second. Westby Racing’s Mathew Scholtz, Elias’ new teammate Josh Herrin and Attack Performance Estenson Racing’s JD Beach rounded out the top five.
Defending MotoAmerica Superbike Champion Cameron Beaubier suffered through a tough afternoon session and ended up 11thfastest. With only the top nine taking part in tomorrow’s Superpole session, Beaubier will be a spectator and will start the race from the fourth row.
“It went great,” Gerloff said. “It’s definitely a good way to start the first day of the season with first in practice this morning and then first later on in the day in the dry. I’m excited with the changes we’ve made to the bike geometry-wise and electronics-wise. Those changes we made in the off season have helped me here at Road Atlanta. It’s good to have such a comfortable feeling with the bike going into tomorrow with Superpole and the race. Everything feels good, the bike, the tires, the track, it’s all thumbs up right now. I’m ready to keep things going tomorrow and Sunday.”
Even though he crashed halfway through the first Supersport qualifying session and destroyed his M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R600, Bobby Fong still emerged as the quickest in the class on day one. Fong lapped at 1:29.782 to barely hold off Tuned Racing’s Bryce Prince by .044 of a second. Celtic HSBK Racing’s PJ Jacobsen was third fastest in his MotoAmerica Series debut. Jacobsen also suffered a crash but was uninjured.
Landers Racing’s Rocco Landers rode his Kawasaki to the quickest time in the Liqui Moly Junior Cup Qualifying 1 session, the Oregonian lapping at a best of 1:47.904 that put him a tad over half a second faster than Kevin Olmedo on the Altus Motorsports Kawasaki. Olemedo is on the mend after breaking both of his ankles during the off-season. Finishline Machine Racing’s Jackson Blackmon rode his Yamaha to the third fastest time. Three of the Quarterley Racing/On Track Development Kawasakis (Teagg Hobbs, Dallas Daniels and Jamie Astudillo) and Moonshot Motorsports’ John Knowles had their times disallowed with the rear sets on the Ninja 400s deemed to be in violation of the rules.
The Twins Cup qualifying session was led by RBoM Racing’s Curtis Murray, the Suzuki rider just ahead of defending class champion Chris Parrish on his Ghetto Customs Suzuki. Turner’s Cycle/MotoUniverse Racing’s Kris Turner was third fastest on the day.
The Stock 1000 class featured just one session on the day, and it was led by Weir Everywhere Racing’s Travis Wyman over Team Norris Racing’s Michael Gilbert and MESA37 Racing’s Stefano Mesa. Defending class champion Andrew Lee was fourth fastest on his Franklin Armory/Graves Kawasaki.
