Allen Joins
MotoAmerica
Supersport Grid
With CW Moto
L
ucca Allen will contest the 2025 Mo-
toAmerica Supersport Championship
for CW Moto.
The deal, which sees Lucca become
the first full-time British rider to contest
the series under the new "next genera
-
tion" regulations, joins the grid after a couple of
seasons in the British GP2 Championship. Allen
will take part in a couple of preseason tests ahead
of the season opener at Barber Motorsports Park
at the beginning of April.
"I can't thank the guys and girls at CW Moto
enough for the opportunity to race for them in
MotoAmerica this year," Allen said. "I am looking
forward to getting to know them and getting to
work. I think it will be a good season for us togeth
-
er. I have seen their setup and how they work, and
from what I have seen, their bikes are always fast
and extremely well prepared. This is important to
me because it is my first time racing abroad, and
there are going to be many new things for me to
get my head around. It's a little nerve-wracking
heading to MotoAmerica on my own. Everything is
new. The bike, the track, the tires, and I know it will
be a big year of learning. My plan is to take it as it
comes and build progressively. After round one,
we will have an idea of where we are, and the plan
from there is to see steady progression through
-
out the season. Testing gets underway in early
March, and I cannot wait."
