Millennium Technologies/KWR set to do battle at Virginia International Raceway
DANVILLE, Va. (May 12) — The Millennium Technologies sponsored KWR team heads to Virginia International Raceway this coming weekend for the fourth round of the MotoAmerica championship. Superbike rider Kyle Wyman will be focusing on attaining more top-5 finishes on the Yamaha YZF-R1.
“I feel really good going into this weekend,” Wyman said. “We have learned so much about the new Superbike in the first three rounds of the season, I really think that VIR will be the race where things start to come together. I’ve always enjoyed riding here, it’s one of the more fun layouts on the schedule.
“We have a couple new components this weekend from Evol Technology which should help me feel more comfortable, and some even better SBS brake pads that will help me get the bike slowed down. Each little piece that we add has brought me closer to feeling better on the bike, and I can’t wait to see how it is this weekend.”
Travis Wyman focusing on redemption, points lead at VIR
Younger brother Travis Wyman will contest his third round of MotoAmerica Superstock 600 competition this weekend at VIR after an up-and-down weekend in New Jersey.
Wyman sits in 5th in series points standings after NJMP, now 33 points out of the lead.
“We definitely lost ground at New Jersey in the championship after crashing out of race one,” Travis said. “My focus now is squarely on race wins so I can claw my way back in the championship. My Millennium Technologies crew works so hard and I want to reward them with more wins.”
In 2015, Travis finished on the podium twice in Superstock 600. The New Yorker is eager to get back on track.
“Thanks to California Superbike School, I’ve been able to ride a lot more this season while doing some instructing,” Travis added. “I feel confident, and with the help from Next Level Cycles and Harv’s Harley-Davidson we’re all looking forward to putting together a successful weekend.”
