After a big welcome-back weekend for MotoGP and World Superbikes, it’s another slow racing weekend with the British Superbike Series being the only major series seeing any action.  Leon Camier has already sealed up the Superbike championship, but the battle for the Supersport crown is still going strong, as Steve Plater and Billy McConnell are separated by just 11 points going onto the final round at Oulton Park.  On US television, if you’re looking for a reason to take the day off on Tuesday, there’s plenty of racing action throughout the day on Discovery HD Theater and the Speed Channel.

Good Wednesday, Motourage members.  We hope everyone has made it home safely from Indy or wherever your two wheels have taken you lately.  There’s a lot going on in the world of motorcycle racing this weekend, with many exciting championship fights still heating up.

World Superbikes are back after an extended break.  Ben Spies hopes to catch Noriyuki Haga who leads the American rookie by only seven points.

The last round of AMA Pro Road Racing is taking place in New Jersey this weekend.  Mat Mladin has already clinched the American Superbike Championship and will be carrying the #1 plate on his Rockstar Mikita Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 as he completes the final round of his professional racing career.  However, the Daytona Sportbike class is still close with Danny Eslick leading Martin Cardenas – who is recovering from a broken hand that resulted from a practice crash at VIR – by 17 points.

MotoGP heads back to Europe with the race for the Championship dangerously close.  This is the last race of Casey Stoner’s absence, and Jorge Lorenzo looks to close the gap on his teammate and deny Valentino Rossi his seventh premier class victory.  In the GP 250cc class, Hiroshi Aoyama has a 16-point lead over Alvaro Bautista, but both Bati and Marco Simoncelli are determined to take a championship trophy with them when they move up to the premier class in 2010.

REMEMBER: If you or your racing organization has newsworthy announcements, please forward all press releases to info@motourage.net for inclusion on the Motourage website.
