ormer AMA Superbike
Champion Miguel Duhamel
was slightly injured when he was
shot by a BB gun from a pass-
ing car while cycling near Red
Rock Canyon on the outskirts
of Las Vegas. The incident was
reported on television by FOX5
in Las Vegas.
"A car came behind me like
they always do but this one
came up and I heard a shot, like
air disperse, it went pow!" said
Duhamel. "Immediately my head
hurt, I felt a shot in my head, and
I was like what's that and for a
minute I thought maybe it's noth-
ing but when I saw blood coming
down I knew something was up
so I stopped."
Duhamel said the car from
which the bullet was shot was a
black Nissan 300-Z. Police have
not yet found the suspect. CN

EICMA 2020 Canceled
T
he world's biggest motorcycle trade show, EICMA in Milan,
has been canceled amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the Intermot Show in Cologne also canceled, there will
thus be no large-scale European motorcycle shows in 2020.
EICMA organizers aim to reschedule the event for 2021.
"The value and international
leadership of our exhibition-event
have convinced us not to wager
on the evolution of the health
situation linked to the Covid-19
emergency," said EICMA Manag-
ing Director Paolo Magri. "The
responsibility has been imposed
on us and makes us act on a wide
scale in the interest of the exhibi-
tors and our visitors, postponing
the 2020 show with a solid con-
vergence of intentions." CN
Alex Rins debuts the
Suzuki V-Strom at EICMA
2019. There'll be none of
this in 2020.
