Cycle News Staff | June 24, 2021
AMA Pro Hillclimb converged on Freemansburg, Pennsylvania, June 13, for its second round of action. It was Logan Cipala who rose to the occasion and dominated in overall performance of the day.
In the 450 class Jay Sallstrom (Yamaha), set the fast time with a 12.882-second run that would take the number-one spot. Cipala finished second place with a 13.086 run and John Koester, who led in the first round of the class, fell to third with his first run time of 13.431.
The Twins class seemed more challenged at Freemansburg, with only half of the 10 competitors completing the entire run. Three-time AMA Champion Cipala set the fast time in round one on his Buell 1190R with an 11.230-second run followed by Joel Falde, who came out in the second round and posted a 13.962 run that landed him the number-two podium position. Falde’s inspired run would push Logan’s brother Luke Cipala to third-place finishing position.
