Eziah Davis #79 substituting for Sean Thomas #52 in Stock 1000 at
the Ridge MotoAmerica round
SEATTLE, WA – June 22, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire)
Sean Thomas, #52 in Stock 1000, is still recovering from a two-bike incident at the Virginia round that resulted in two fractures in his left ankle.
“We’re excited with the progress Sean’s making in his recovery and can’t wait to get him back on the bike,” said Crew Chief Chris Lobkovich. Sean and the team are optimistic he will be fit to race by the upcoming Laguna Seca round.
The team selected Eziah Davis #79 to pilot the CW Moto Yamaha R1 at this week’s MotoAmerica round at CW’s home track, Ridge Motorsports Park. Eziah (EZ) has been a friend of the team since meeting through Yamaha Champions Riding School, and along the MotoAmerica circuit over the last two years.
“We’re really grateful that EZ was able to take time out of his busy schedule to help our team out,” said Chris. “He is a very talented rider, has a lot of time on Yamaha motorcycles, and has ridden the Ridge, so it’s a shorter learning curve. We are hoping to get some good data on the bike and work on our setup out here this week and help make the bike even better for when Sean is able to return.”
“Being in the paddock not racing at Road America was tough, but we’re grateful for the support we received out there.” said Sara Lobkovich, co-owner of CW Moto Racing. “Friends in the paddock helped us keep busy. We are grateful to be up and operating again in time to make the most of our two West-coast ‘home’ rounds here at the Ridge and at Laguna Seca.”
The team built a new 2022 Yamaha R1 after a near-total loss at the VIR round, in time to test prior to the Ridge Round. “We were able to get in a good test day last week with both dry and wet conditions and are really excited to be racing for our local fans,” Chris added. “We’re hoping to put up a good result for the home team here at the Ridge.”
CW Moto is also delighted to announce a new team partner: Cascade Motorcycle Safety. “Cascade has been at the top of our referral sheet for rider training ever since I met Jesse and Brandy and saw their team operate at a shared track day down at Pacific years ago. I watched the Cascade Street Strategies group all day with gratitude and joy seeing what an awesome first day at the track their participants were having, compared to how hard the first day out can be for street riders when they…
