I\u2019m more than ready to race, and I love Laguna Seca. For sure, the level in MotoAmerica Superbike is really high, and it\u2019s going to be a challenge, but I know I can count on one of the best bikes and teams in the field.<\/p><p>\u201cFor a long time, I\u2019ve wanted to race in MotoAmerica, and I\u2019ve been following the Championship ever since the beginning in 2015. This is a really good opportunity for me. Thanks to the Westby team for choosing me, and I can\u2019t wait to ride!\u201d<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3411-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22511 lazyload\" width=\"440\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.motoamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3411-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22511\" width=\"440\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The Westby Racing Yamaha YZF-R1 Superbike with Canepa&#8217;s #59 on the upper fairing. <em>Photo courtesy of Niccol\u00f2 Canepa and Westby Racing.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><p>Westby Racing team manager Chuck Giacchetto said, \u201cAs a team manager, you have to deal with ups and downs. When we received&nbsp;news that Mathew&#8217;s accident was going to sideline him for (WeatherTech Raceway) Laguna Seca, we discussed the idea of not even going to Laguna, honestly. We considered the extra three weeks or so that we\u2019d have to start developing the Yamaha R1 for 2021. But, after thinking about it more, we owe it to our sponsors\u2014and especially to Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., and to MotoAmerica\u2014to show up and continue to put on a great show.<\/p><p>\u201cWe decided that we needed a rider with Superbike experience and with knowledge of the R1 Superbike. So, after lengthy discussions with our crew chief Ed Sullivan, I brought Niccol\u00f2 Canepa&#8217;s name up to (team owner) Tryg (Westby) because Nick is the official test rider for the Yamaha World Superbike effort. Now, not only do we have a great rider on board, but we also are ultimately moving forward with our testing as planned. I personally am very happy to have Nick ride for us and give us feedback about our Yamaha R1 Superbike.\u201d<\/p><p>Westby Racing team crew chief Ed Sullivan said, \u201cA decision on a replacement rider for Mathew was never going to be easy, but with Niccol\u00f2, we have two big plusses. One, he has a wealth of experience in MotoGP and World Superbike, and we believe he will be very competitive on the Westby bike, and two, he can draw from his experience aboard the current World Superbike Yamahas, to give us feedback that will help our program as we move into 2021.\u201d<\/p><p>For more updates about Westby Racing, including news, photos, and videos, follow \u201cWestby Racing\u201d on your favorite social media sites.
