Re: Mathers named AMA Pro Racing Road Race Operations Manage
Hopefully the AMA Pro Road Racing operation will get much better with this change. As the release states, Mather has an impressive resume, primarily as a team manager for a couple of the large factory teams. He's also an ex-racer, and has the respect of most of the people (teams, riders, promoters, etc) involved in AMA Pro road racing.
They're going to give him baptism by fire throwing him into the Laguna Seca combined WSC and AMA racing this coming weekend. Quite a big logistics headache, including working with the FIM officials, and the 2 distinct riding series.
