Beach Pulls The Vanishing Act To Win MotoAmerica Supersport Race 1 In Utah; Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha Teammate Gerloff Finishes Second
Tooele, UT – June 24, 2016 – Starting from the pole in Friday’s MotoAmerica Supersport Race at Utah Motorsports Campus, defending Champion JD Beach took off, got the holeshot, and ran laps faster than anyone else on the track, building a gap of over five seconds at one point in the race. JD’s strategy worked out perfectly, which sealed the victory for the rider of the #1 Yamaha Extended Service/Graves/Yamaha YZF-R6. It was JD’s fourth win of the season.
Meanwhile, JD’s teammate Garrett Gerloff, who started from second position on the grid, also finished Saturday’s race in second position. And, while JD was never headed throughout the 16-lap event, Garrett had to battle for position all the way to the end. His hard work paid off as he brought his #31 Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha R6 home in the runner-up position and only gave up five points to JD, with his points lead now 28 over his teammate.
“My plan each race is to try to get a good start and take the lead,” JD said. “I was able to do that today, which helps me in the points. I’ve just got to keep trying to win, and see where I end up at the end of the season. Garrett is riding well, and he’s making it really tough to defend my Championship. But, I’m happy with how I’m riding, and I’m glad to get the wins.”
Garrett said, “I had a busy race–a lot busier than it was for JD–but I’m really pumped to get on the podium. I had a good battle going for second, and it was a fun race, but while we were dicing, I knew that JD was getting away at the front. I’m happy, though, to get the weekend started off with a podium result, and I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s race. We’ll make some changes and try to get the win.”
As Garrett said, the two Y.E.S./Graves/Yamaha teammates will be back at it again on Saturday in Supersport Race 2, which will go green at 3:15 PM MST.
