A category formed by SBK built before 1986 will accompany the stages of Road America, Laguna Seca and Indianapolis.
​
The charm of a return to the origins. There is just this in the press release recently issued by MotoAmerica, which confirms the presence of a new category in three stages of the championship that takes the name of Heritage Cup Vintage and will see the start of the bikes that have in fact given rise to SBK in the States.
​
In fact, SBK bikes built before 1986 will be admitted to the start and according to MotoAmerica, entries are open giving priority to those who want to enter bikes with a racing pedigree. We will also be able to review the legendary maxinaked bikes with which riders of the calibre of Wayne Rainey, Eddie Lawson, Freddie Spencer and Kevin Schwantz took their first steps in racing.
​
​
The races will be held in conjunction with the Open Exhibition and will take place on the three possibly main tracks on the calendar, Road America at Elkhart Lake, the Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca and the International Speedway in its Road Race version, the road version of the famous Indianapolis track.
​
We'll try to bring some of our racing history to three of our events this season," said Chuck Aksland of MotoAmerica. "The desire to celebrate the tradition of the MotoAmerica series with vintage Superbikes will be exciting and by racing together with the Open we're sure we'll bring great spectacle to our events.
Eurosport showed the replay of the Aragon crash twice on live coverage. So i think you might be able to find at least that one on sites which host race videos (try here, scroll to the bottom - if you dl aragon race 1, you can see the crash @ the 8.29 mark). I don't recall Laverty's crash ever being shown on live broadcast as a replay, or otherwise. I think it was missed (I could be wrong). They showed him laying on the ground with his arm up in the air, but not the crash itself.
