Double wins for Dainese riders last weekend at AMA Road Atlanta

Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Blake Young and M4 Monster Energy Suzuki's Martin Cardenas swept the top of the podiums last weekend in Georgia when they both scored a double-win for Round 5 and 6 of the AMA Pro road racing series.

 

The two Dainese riders battled hard in their respective classes to dominate their competition during the weekend.

In the American Superbike class, Dainese's Blake Young took his first win of the season on  Saturday, repeating his performance the next day after leading the whole race. Blake is now third in series standing, only 15 points from the leader, with 12 more races to go.

It was another positive weekend for AGV Dainese's Chris Ulrich who took his Team Roadracingworld.com Suzuki GSX-R 1000 to two Top 10 finishes. Ulrich is now 6th in the series points standing.

In the Daytona Sportbike class, Dainese's Martin Cardenas dominated Road
Atlanta with 2 race wins for Team Monster Energy M4, making it 3 for the season. Cardenas now stands 3rd overall, 14 points from the leader.

Road Atlanta was a great weekend too for Vesrah Suzuki's Cory West. The AGV Dainese rider scored a very much deserved 2-3 finishes, taking him to 4th in the series points standing.

Joining West in the race for the podium on Sunday was AGV Dainese's Steve Rapp. Both riders were part of a group of 6 very close riders who diced it out until the the checkered flag. Despite leading the pack for a while, Latus Ducati's Rapp finished 6th on Sunday, repeating his Saturday results. 6th is also Steve's point standing position after 5 races.
 
In the Supersport class, Dainese's Tomas Puerta went 5-4, taking him to 4th in the points standing, while AGV Dainese's James Rispoli, after an unlucky Saturday race, finished 7th on Sunday.

We would like to also wish a prompt recovery to Dainese's Aaron Yates, the
Team Jordan Suzuki rider being out for a few rounds after breaking his leg
at the previous round at Fontana.
