Yea, I was really looking forward to seeing the bike and talking to the team at NJ. Now, I don't even know if they'll be there. Hopefully so, but with another rider.

Overall I noticed Jason sounding a bit agitated in interviews and such, plugging the company line, but with a forced smile. Maybe he just had a enough, who knows.

Jason is a great rider, but he is getting frustrated with all the problems the bike has given him so far. He could easily be fighting for the championship if the bike didn't take him out of so many races. He knows that, but that's what it takes to develop a bike. He just wants to win (can you blame him).

What? What? What? I like Disalvo but he has had some bad luck. I wonder why the split? Hes been on the box alot thats saying something about him and the bike. Too bad all involved couldnt stick it out and develop the bike. Its hard going up against gixxers and R6s that have years of development with top riders. Im hoping to get some more info on this.

I have a feeling that if the 675 never made a podium, Jason would still be there .

Having been on the podium, then not finishing races has got to be hard on everyone.

It'd be nice to have a little more info on what the heck is happening with all this. It's really too bad they can't get it worked out.

From a press release issued by Latus Racing

In order to expand its depth of resources, Latus Motors Racing will be working with Riedmann Racing and Daytona SportBike riders Jason DiSalvo and Kenny Riedmann.

Both riders will be run under the same canopy, with their first collective appearance at New Jersey Motorsports Park.


Ben Fox and Paul Runion, who have been working on DiSalvo's 675R during race weekends since DiSalvo's first and second-place finishes at Infineon Raceway, will remain with the #40 entry.

It sounds to me like they're bringing in another rider to replace Jason but they're letting him finish his last few races with the team while they get the new guy up to speed with the bikes...I hope I'm wrong though and he continues on to the championship.

I would figure that Dustin would move up if that were to be the case. Dustin is doing very well with the 675 and is almost running the same times as DiSalvo. Kenny only raced the last 3 weekends, but hasn't even broke the top 10. Maybe Kenny can improve with the expertise of the Latus racing team. Even such, Dustin was running a faster pace in Supersport then Kenny was in Daytona Sportbike. Oh well, I'm happy either way with a larger 675 presence on the grid.

Looks like they are just sharing resources and setups. Kenny has done a couple DSBK races finishing 17th in the first race at Barber and dnf the second. Smart move, Jason is seriously fast looking at his # of pole positions. He always drops back in the race though. This makes me think they have tire troubles, among other things.
