Despite
facing unforeseen challenges, including Ayumu Sasaki's recent setback due to
his double arm pump surgery, the team remains undeterred in their pursuit of
excellence. Sasaki, unfortunately, has been declared unfit to race this weekend
as he continues his recovery process. However, the team is fully supportive of
Sasaki's recovery journey and looks forward to his return to the track for the
4th Gran Prix of the year in Jerez, Spain.
Stepping up to the
challenge in Austin will be Jeremy Alcoba. His dedication and focus make him a
formidable contender, and the team has full confidence in his ability to
deliver a strong performance. The Circuit of the Americas holds a special place
in his heart as one of his favorite tracks, and after a challenging weekend in
Portimao, Jeremy is eager to demonstrate his potential in the stars and stripes
land.
Constructed in 2012, The Circuit of The Americas (COTA) was added to the
Grand Prix schedule the following year. Its length of 5513m and mixture of fast
straights and tight hairpins make the track both challenging and exciting to
master for teams and riders. They need to find exactly the right balance for
their bike‘s set-up to suit the 11 left and 9 right turns and the 1200m
straight in order to snatch a place on the podium. The especially sharp Turn 1
will be a place where the fans can expect a lot of overtaking action, both at
the start and during the race.
The Grand Prix of The Americas is held in the GMT -5 time zone. Free Practice
will take place on Friday from 9:50 to 10:30 local track time, followed by
Practice 1 from 14:05 to 14:45. On Saturday, P2 will be held from 9:25 to 9:45,
and the qualifying sessions from 13:45 to 14:25. The race starts at 12:15 on
Sunday.
