AMA: 2009 Infineon Test Day One Results
AMA: 2009 Infineon test day one results
The Yamaha racer, a graduate of nearby Petaluma High School, set the fastest time of all riders, including eight American Superbike racers, nine Daytona Sportbike racers and two Supersport racers.
All times were unofficial, but Bostroms top time of 1:37.19 was 0.4 seconds quicker than the second fastest rider, his teammate Josh Hayes.
Rockstar Makita Suzukis Mat Mladin, unbeatable through five American Superbike races this season, had the third-fastest time at 1:37.63 on the 12-turn, 2.22-mile course. Test times may not be significant as teams recorded their own times, but Mladins test was significant as it marked the debut of the 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000.
Attack Kawasakis Jamie Hacking set the fastest time among Daytona Sportbike riders at 1:39.4, followed by the Graves Yamaha duo of Josh Herrin and Tommy Aquino. Another Yamaha rider, Steve Rapp of Black Hole Racing was fourth followed by Attack Kawasakis Roger Hayden.
Supersport racer Leandro Mercado set a time of 1:42.5 for Attack Kawasaki ahead of Yamaha-rider Ezequiel Iturrioz.
The Infineon Roadway test continues April 21. The 2009 AMA Pro Road Racing season resumes May 1-3 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala.
