AT ROAD AMERICA POLE POSITION AND SOLO VICTORY FOR KALEB DE KEYREL,<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NOW LEADER OF THE TWINS CUP CHAMPIONSHIP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Aprilia RS 660 continues to win and amaze in the hard-fought Twins category of the US MotoAmerica championship:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

already the protagonist at the beginning of May of a sensational debut in the inaugural race in Atlanta, with three Italian bikes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the first three positions, this weekend the brand new mid-range sports bike from Noale scored another success on the demanding<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Road America circuit at Elkhart Lake in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A confirmation of the dynamic and engine qualities of the RS 660, homologated just before the start of the championship and now<\/p>\n\n\n\n

already among the favorites for the final victory of the prestigious US series for twin-cylinder bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaleb De Keyrel, riding his RS 660 prepared by the Robem Engineering team, was the author of a weekend of dominance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

he first obtained the pole position with a margin of over 8 tenths of a second place, then in the race he kept an unapproachable<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pace for his opponents, crossing the finish line with almost 8″ of gap on Jackson Blackmon (Yamaha).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this success, his second of the season, De Keyrel has also taken the lead in the overall standings with 76 points,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 more than his closest rival, Chris Parrish (Suzuki).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI felt comfortable right from the start with my Aprilia. It felt great being able to go out and put down quick laps right away, t<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

hat helped me feel comfortable to push the bike more at the start of Qualifying 2 on Saturday, and we were able to go quite<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a bit faster than everyone else. Drafting is a huge factor here at Road America with its long straightaways. I knew I was going<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

to have to put my head down from the start and try to break the draft. I was able to do that pretty quickly and was able to focus<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

on just being smooth and smart with the lead I had. The Aprilia RS 660 handled like a dream: it was easily the most comfortable<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve felt on the bike.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aprilia RS 660, launched last October, is revolutionizing the concept of sportiness, it is so light and effective between the curves that,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

although designed to be used daily on the road, it is capable of transforming itself with a few changes into an extremely fast and fun bike<\/p>\n\n\n\n

between the curbs. The dynamic qualities, the rigour of the frame, the reduced weight and the exciting performance of the new<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 HP twin-cylinder engine enhance the driving pleasure of a motorcycle that, after being one of the most eagerly awaited novelties,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

has proved to be fun and enjoyable, able to give emotions in every situation of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
