With Santiago Villa recovering from surgery, Andres “Futuro” Londono will race for Team Roadracingworld.com Suzuki in AMA Pro Daytona SportBike at Road Atlanta April 16-18. Londono, 30, began racing at age 14 in his native Colombia. He moved to the US in 2003 and raced in CCS, ASRA, and WERA. He has won several championships along the way. In 2009 he raced in selected AMA Daytona SportBike events, with a best result of 18th at Barber Motorsports Park. “I’m very excited to be racing for such a great team,” said Londono. “I really enjoy riding at Road Atlanta and hope to put a smile on my injured friend’s face. My goals for this event are to work together with the team to achieve a good qualifying position and obviously shoot for a top 10 finish. It will be great fun to ride these highly prepared machines.” Villa rebroke his collarbone at Fontana, but had successful surgery last week. “It’s not very easy to give this news, of course. I would love to race at Road Atlanta, but now that I won’t because my surgery, I cant think of a better racer to replace me than my fellow Colombian rider Andres ‘Futuro’ Londono. We have raced each other for many years, and I think he is a great rider and a good person. I have a great deal of respect for him and I hope he can give my sponsors a great result. I also want to thank all the riders and racing fans for their support and kind words. I’ll be back stronger for Infineon.” Santiago Villa’s personal sponsors include P3 Racing, Addict By Bosi, Arai, MSR Designs, Heroic and Tacama.
