GEOFF MAY #99
VISION WHEEL M4 ECSTAR SUZUKI GSX-R600
The third rider for Vision Wheel M4 Ecstar team
on the Suzuki GSX-R600, evergreen Geoff May
just refuses to give in. At 41-years-old, May's
professional career stretches over two decades
and has seen him play a leading role in national-
level Superbike, Supersport and Stock 1000
championships, as well as a season in WorldSBK for
the EBR team in 2014. May's about to embark on
yet another full year in the pro ranks in America in
2022 and his years of race craft will serve him well
on the Daytona banking.

SAM LOCHOFF #44
VISION WHEEL M4 ECSTAR SUZUKI GSX-R600
Another South African, Lochoff, along with fellow
rookie teammate Richie Escalante and veteran Geoff
May, comes to Daytona carrying the hopes of the
Vision Wheel M4 Ecstar Suzuki team, who badly want
to redeem the result of last year when Paasch stole
the 200 on the line from their rider, Sean Dylan Kelly.
Lochoff's had recent experience at Daytona, winning
the ASRA Team Challenge event there last October.
He is a favorite for the 2022 MotoAmerica Supersport
Championship, and will be looking to become the first
South African to seal the deal in the 200.
CAMERON PETERSEN #45
ATTACK PERFORMANCE YAMAHA YZF-R6
South African Petersen comes off his best
MotoAmerica Superbike season to date in 2022,
finishing third behind winner Gagne and compatriot
Mathew Scholtz. His reward? The second seat
alongside Gagne in the all-conquering Fresh N' Lean
Attack Performance Yamaha team for 2022. Although
he's a rookie to the banks, Petersen is a fast learner
and he's on the same bike as Gagne in Richard
Stamboli's jet of an R6, so don't discount him from
pulling a surprise this year.
