Contesting three national championships, Tytlers Cycle Racing is ready for the 2024 MotoAmerica season to start at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta this coming weekend.
Following on from a successful 2023, Tytlers Cycle Racing is delighted to welcome back Cameron Beaubier. The former multiple champion will once again take to the track aboard the latest BMW M 1000 RR for the squad. He will be joined on the Superbike grid by former Supersport champion and Superbike race winner JD Beach who returns full time to the MotoAmerica paddock in 2024.
The squad also has its eyes firmly set on the Supersport prize and has once again put their faith in the talented Stefano Mesa who will compete aboard a ZX-6R Kawasaki.
Mesa, known for his ability to adapt to a variety of motorcycles, will also line up in the Super Hooligan series. As he did last year, he will campaign an electric Energica bike against a full grid of petrol-powered Super Hooligan bikes.
Ahead of the season opener, Tytlers Cycle Racing’s riders and technical team shared their thoughts.
Cameron Beaubier:“It has been a long off season for me, and I am ready to get 2024 rolling. I am grateful to be back with the Tytlers guys on our BMW’s and to build on last year. We have had a few positive tests in the last couple of months. JD and I have been buds since we were kids, so it will be cool to be teammates with him too.”
Dave Weaver – Crew Chief for Cameron Beaubier:“I’m eagerly anticipating the start of the 2024 superbike season with Tytlers Cycle Racing for the thrill of pushing my limits, the camaraderie among fellow riders, and the electrifying atmosphere of competitive racing. It’s about embracing the challenge, chasing victory, and creating unforgettable memories on the track. I know every race will be an exhilarating adventure worth savouring. I’m looking forward to getting this season underway. Cam has a year on the bike and has been feeling comfortable in off-season testing. JD is quickly adapting to the BMW and should be right there on the podium too.”
JD Beach:“I’m really excited going into the 2024 season. I’m thankful Tytlers have brought me into such a great program. Getting to do the last couple rounds in 2023 really lit a fire in me. I’ve got a great crew to work with and I’m excited to work with Scott Jensen again. Plus being teammates with a great friend like Cameron is awesome and I am looking forward to working with him and learning as much as I can.”
Scott Jensen – Crew Chief for JD Beach:“Coming into the 2024 season we have one of the strongest teams in the paddock and we are fully poised to exploit this to its maximum potential. I will be changing up riders for this season with the team bringing JD Beach into the Tytlers BMW Superbike program. Having history working with JD in 2012 and 2013 I am very excited and optimistic about what this season will bring! Our off-season testing proved fruitful, and we have some advancements on the motorcycles that should allow us to be more consistently at the front of the field. Bring on the races!”
Stefano Mesa – Supersport (Kawasaki) and Super Hooligans (Energica):“I’m pleased to be continuing into the 2024 season with Tytlers Cycle Racing in the Supersport class on the ZX6R. We have put together a new team, but pre-season testing felt good, and we are looking forward to the fighting for the championship. There are a-lot of fast guys in the class again this year which should make for some great racing! We’re all excited to get on the gas at Atlanta! I must thank Michael, the whole Tytlers team, and my personal sponsors for helping to create this opportunity. Riding the Energica in Super Hooligans is a fun challenge, and I am excited to show what we can do their too.”
Derek Keyes – Crew Chief for Stefano Mesa:“I’m very excited to be working with Stefano and the Tytlers team this year. The competition is going to be tough in Supersport this year and I know Stefano is up for the challenge. Our pre-season testing was productive, fine tuning the ZX6R and getting the team prepared for the season. We’ve got a solid package, and I cannot wait to go racing.”
