Team #Suzuki Press Office – September 23.
Toni Elias: 2nd in Championship – 362 pts.
Josh Herrin: 5th in Championship – 213 pts.
The 2019 MotoAmerica Superbike season finale will go down as one of supreme disappointment for #yoshimuraSuzuki Factory #racing as Toni Elias, who led the standings nearly the entire season, and had a 16-point advantage coming into the #Event, suffered a challenging weekend, chasing bike setup all along the way.
He managed a podium on Saturday with third, and a fourth-place finish in Sunday’s race, but it wasn’t enough: Elias ended the year second in the standings, losing the title chase by five points.
Ending the year with a stinging of a loss, #yoshimuraSuzuki had a lot to be proud of in 2019. Elias can be proud of the fact that he scored a series-leading seven wins on the season as teammate #joshherrin pitched in with two additional wins, giving the team a total of nine wins this year.
Elias also etched his name in the record books this year, moving into a tie for fourth with Miguel Duhamel on the all-time MotoAmerica/ AMA Superbike wins list with 32-career wins.
The #Suzuki GSX-R1000 and its Superbike predecessors remain the all-time wins and championship leader in the MotoAmerica/ AMA Superbike Championship history.
