FEATURE I PIKES PEAK HILLCLIMB REVISITED
I returned in 2019, this time
with the factory Aprilia USA
squad on a Tuono V4 Factory in
the Heavyweight division. Carlin
was back, this time on a proto-
type Ducati Streetfighter V4 that
was really a very trick Panigale
V4 S with high 'bars fitted in the
Exhibition Powersport class.
Joining him was Glöckner on
the BMW HP Race and Michael
Dunlop had signed up to race a
BMW S 1000 R, meaning this was
the most stacked field in living
memory at Pikes Peak. Chris
Fillmore was there as well, but he
raced a 450cc KTM supermoto
in the Lightweight division after
claiming the Middleweight victory
in 2018 on a KTM 790 Duke.
(Above) The feeling of four years of hard work finally paying
off sinks in for Scaysbrook, but, unbeknownst to him and
everybody celebrating, Dunne had just lost his life a mere
30 meters away. (Below) Scaysbrook crosses the line as the
winner in 2019. His Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory would be the last
motorcycle ever to see the Pikes Peak checkered flag.
