WYMAN BATTLES MECHANICAL ISSUES AT ROAD AMERICA

Macedon, New York (June 8th, 2009) - Kyle Wyman had an abrupt end to his weekend when a mechanical took him out of the AMA Supersport race on Sunday. Wyman was running in 4th place when his Yamaha YZF-R6 started showing symptoms of a soon-to-be blown transmission.

"I really had a terrible start; I was about 12th or so going into turn one," said the New Yorker. "There was a whole lot of bumping and banging going on in turn 3 and 5 and everything worked out to where I found myself in 4th going up the hill into turn six. I started noticing a noise in 4th gear throughout the lap. As it worsened I just kept on it until lap two going into turn five the thing just exploded during my downshifts. I had to pull off the side as I saw flames creeping up my leg."

After qualifying 8th, Wyman was credited with 19th place. "I was really bummed. I felt much stronger than I had all weekend and was looking forward to a really fun race," said Wyman. "We'll just keep pushing forward until Mid-Ohio. I've never ridden there, so I'm really looking forward to learning another track."
