The following is from PS² Racing and Cory Ventura…
The MotoAmerica season has begun, and PS² Racing, Aprilia Americas, and Piaggio Group Americas are thrilled to announce that Cory Ventura will be racing an Aprilia RSV4 1100 throughout the entire Stock 1000 season. This exciting project is made possible through the premier partnership and technical excellence of Matt Spicer and Robem Engineering.
Piaggio Group Americas proudly unveiled Cory Ventura’s stunning new bike livery during MotoGP at Circuit of The Americas, marking an exciting milestone ahead of the upcoming race season. Fans and industry insiders alike gathered to get a first look at Ventura’s race machine, setting the stage for an electrifying season as he prepares to take on the competition with Aprilia’s cutting-edge performance and style. Ventura also joined the Aprilia Racing and Trackhouse Racing teams’ MotoGP riders for an exclusive meet and greet, giving fans the opportunity to connect with their favorite racers, and celebrate the spirit of competition.
The MotoAmerica Stock 1000 season kicks off at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on May 2, followed by stops at Road America on May 30, VIRginia International Raceway on August 1, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on August 15, and concluding at Circuit of The Americas on September 12. PS² Racing represents the synergy of Plastic Surgery Racing and Powersport Supply Racing, bringing together expertise and passion for high-performance motorcycle racing.
Cory Ventura, despite his young age, boasts an impressive track record with nine MotoAmerica wins and 24 podium finishes across multiple classes. “I fondly recall riding the Aprilia RS 660 in a few rounds of the Twins Cup, and I look forward to riding its big brother.” Ventura said. “I have always loved Aprilia and already feel part of the Aprilia family. A few years ago, I was at the VR46 Master Camp in Tavullia with Marco Bezzecchi, and I am excited to be on the same brand.”
Brandon Cole, owner of Powersport Supply, will serve as Cory’s crew chief. With extensive MotoAmerica experience, Cole is eager to help Cory maximize both his potential and the performance of the Aprilia RSV4 1100. “The opportunity to work with a gifted rider like Cory is exciting, and the team has a great dynamic,” said Cole.
Carl Price, MD, owner of Plastic Surgery Racing, will act as team principal, continuing his long-standing support of talented riders. “Riders who have the whole package like Cory are rare. He is a talented rider, has a great work ethic, and strong motivation. He is just a great person,” stated Price.
With a rich legacy of success on the track, the Aprilia RSV4 has cemented itself as a dominant force in motorcycle racing. In its first full World Superbike season in 2009, Max Biaggi piloted the RSV4 to nine podium finishes and a victory at Brno Circuit, setting the stage for future success. Biaggi went on to secure the 2010 World Superbike Championship and closed out his career with another title in 2012 aboard the RSV4. Aprilia’s racing pedigree continued with Sylvain Guintoli clinching the 2014 World Superbike Championship and Lorenzo Savadori winning the 2015 FIM Superstock 1000 Cup. Cory Ventura will be the first to race an RSV4 1100 for the entire MotoAmerica Stock 1000 season.
