NOYES WINS AGAIN!
P
almeto Kawasaki's
Kenny Noyes took
his third straight pole
and his third consecu-
tive win in the CEV
Superbike race at the
Circuit of Barcelona-
Catalunya on June 22
to extend his points
lead from five to 14
points. The American
battled four-time Span-
ish National Cham-
pion Carmelo Morales
wheel to wheel for al-
most 16 of the 17 laps
and nothing was set-
tled as the two entered
the stadium section at
the end of the penulti-
mate lap. While it looked like it
would go down to the wire, Mo-
rales lost the front and crashed
three corners from the finish line.
Noyes was then able to cruise
home to win by over 12 seconds.
"I knew the only way to beat
Carmelo [Morales] here was to
push hard from the beginning,"
Noyes said. "I tried to get away
and couldn´t and I knew Car-
melo wanted to sit on my rear
wheel and prepare a pass on the
final lap, so I slowed the pace
down so much that he decided
to take the lead. He surprised
me with a real change of pace.
We had both done a single high
1:44 early in the race when the
tires were fresh, but I didn´t ex-
pect him to do a 45 flat. He sud-
denly took .6 of a second lead.
And I had to really dig deep to
close on him again. I was right
on his rear wheel again when he
crashed. I was planning to pass
him at the end of the straight,
but I know he would have fought
back and that last lap would
have been crazy. I wish Carme-
lo a speedy recovery and hope
to see him back in action real
soon."
Morales suffered two broken
ankles in the crash.
BMW-mounted Dani Rivas
finished second in the race with
Kawasaki's Ivan Silva third.
American Kenny Noyes (9) took his third straight win in the
CEV Superbike Series with a victory in Catalunya on Sunday.
He now leads the championship by 14 points.
