Essentially the top half of their race replica suit, this jacket is not going to be your preferred jacket to go to the mall. This is an aggressively cut, race fit jacket made for spirited rides on your favorite road. A full 360 zip allows you to attach the optional GP Plus pants allowing you to take it to the track as well.

Available in black/white, and white/red.

The Alpinestars GP Tech Air leather jacket stays plenty cool on those hot summer rides with full perforation along the front panel and back panel. The jacket goes above and beyond with additional ventilation along the top of the GP hump and arms. Don’t worry, Alpinestars includes a removable windproof vest for the early morning or late evening rides.

As with their race suits, Alpinestars includes a foam back pad. We highly recommend adding the optional Alpinestars Bionic Race back protector that snaps in to the jacket itself. The jacket also includes pockets to add optional Alpinestars Bionic Chest inserts. Both are available from Riders Discount, be sure to ask about these optional additions when you place your order.

Kyle Wyman’s unfortunate turn of events on Saturday became a real opportunity for him to ride with Team RidersDiscount.com Jake Holden Racing. Kyle showed determination when he went to the grid with 20 minutes worth of practice time on a totally unfamiliar Ducati 848EVO. And, though he didn’t finish the race due to a sticky shift mechanism, the entire team was happy to finally get a chance to work with a rider that certainly has a bright future in front of him!

Kyle Wyman – “I want to thank Team Ridersdiscount.com Jake Holden Racing for their support last weekend at NJMP. It was definitely a new challenge for me to ride another unfamiliar bike. I’m sure glad I did because it’s been a great learning experience, something that has been a theme of my 2011 season. The Ducati 848EVO sure has a lot of potential, and with more seat time I feel it can be a very powerful weapon. It was an exciting way to end the year, and I plan on building on this experience into next season.”

Breeann Poland owner, Jake Holden Racing – “I’ve always wanted to work with Kyle, he’s talented and enjoys riding anything he can get his hands on. After another team’s Yamaha failed to get him a finish in Saturday’s race, we just wanted to give him another shot at NJMP because it was clear he was fast. Unfortunately for everyone, he wasn’t comfortable with the way the Ducati 848EVO was shifting right after the race started, so he decided to play it safe and pulled in. It takes guts to go to the line on a completely unfamiliar bike with almost no practice time, but that’s exactly what he did. You can’t deny it was a brave effort on his part!”

Brian Gibson owner, RidersDiscount.com – “Having met Kyle a week earlier down at the Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP event, things worked out perfectly for us when the bike he went to NJMP to ride failed on him mid-race. That gave us the opportunity for him to twist the throttle on our Ducati 848EVO. Unfortunately, with such short notice, we weren’t able to finish the DSB race on Sunday. But in the spirit of keeping racers racing, we had a great time giving him a shot on one of our proven race bikes.”

After a mechanical problem ruled him out of contention for race 1 at New Jersey Motorsports Park, Team RidersDiscount.com / Jake Holden Racing extended to Kyle Wyman the opportunity to ride a Ducati 848EVO for the very last Daytona SportBike race of 2011. Kyle’s race weekend came to a halt when his Yamaha YZF-R6’s motor let go halfway through Saturday’s race 1. Because that team didn’t have a spare motor, Kyle left New Jersey Motorsports Park Saturday night ready to go home until a chance encounter with Breeann Poland at a local restaurant gave him another chance to come back and do it all again Sunday at NJMP!

Kyle Wyman – “Firstly, I would like to thank Witchkraft Racing and Sport bike Track Gear for the opportunity they gave me to compete this weekend in Daytona SportBike. Without their support, I wouldn’t be in a position to compete tomorrow. I’m excited to get the opportunity to ride the Ducati 848 EVO and am really looking forward to the challenge. It was just coincidence that I got together with Breeann and she told me that they had two fresh Ducati 848EVO’s ready to go in the top of the trailer. I’ve only ridden a bone stock 848 down at Little Talladega in April of this year. So basically, I get 20 minutes to practice on the bike and then we go racing. It’s going to be fun and I really love riding as many bikes as I can. I’m amazed with the people that are behind me this weekend and I hope to make them all proud!”

Breeann Poland, owner Jake Holden Racing – “I’ve always wanted to give Kyle an opportunity to ride with us. He’s certainly got the talent and I’m really proud to get him on a good team with a great crew. We want him to end the season on a high note and with the two Ducati 848EVO’s ready in the trailer, I wasn’t going to pass up this chance to work with him!”

Brian Gibson, owner RidersDiscount.com – “We just want to see racers race and we just happened to have spare Ducati 848EVO’s in the garage here at Team RidersDiscount.com / Jake Holden Racing. After a couple of quick chats, everyone in the team agreed that it would be great to have another bike in our colors on the grid. We’re all behind Kyle and happy to give him a bike that has proven to be fast. We’ve got nothing to lose here so Sunday is going to be an exciting day for everyone at NJMP!”

Look for the #133 in Daytona SportBike on the RidersDiscount.com / Jake Holden Racing Ducati 848 EVO. For updates on the team’s weekend, check out facebook.com/ridersdiscount for photos straight from the paddock.

The post Team RidersDiscount.com & Jake Holden Racing Preview AMA Pro Honda Supercycle Weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course appeared first on Riders Discount.

After a crash during the restart of Daytona SportBike Race 2 at Road America, Team RidersDiscount.com and Jake Holden Racing have decided to hold off on Jake’s attack for the top spot of the podium until the AMA Pro Honda Supercycle Weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. This means Jake will not be at the Barber SuperBike Classic over Father’s Day weekend in order to allow him to fully recover from a spiral fracture on his thumb sustained in that last crash at Road America. Having already had surgery performed twice on the same hand: once right after Daytona, and then again after a crash while fighting for the lead at Infineon Raceway – it’s going to take a little more time than originally anticipated for Holden to get back to full strength. The extra waiting will only feed the whole team’s hunger to get back to racing in Team RidersDiscount.com colors so Jake can take another shot at the podium where he’s had some good results in the past.

Jake Holden – “I’m really excited to work with RidersDiscount.com – I’m glad they believe in me as a rider and after meeting Brian at Road America, I was more excited to be working with him! I want to make sure I’m fully healed before getting on the bike and representing RidersDiscount.com. I’m hoping to come back at Mid-Ohio and put my RidersDiscount.com / Jake Holden Racing bike back up on the podium where it belongs.”

Brian Gibson, owner RidersDiscount.com – “While we would love to get back into action as soon as possible, there’s no point in doing so if Jake isn’t at full fitness, so we’ll wait until Mid-Ohio to get back at it. Mid-Ohio is a track where we’ve had some really good races both as a team owner and as a rider myself, so it’s fitting to premier the team’s new look there. We can’t wait to get back into AMA Racing again this year, and just the thought of the Ducati 848 EVO on the grid in Team RidersDiscount.com gets my heart going!”

With a little more time away from the track, Jake Holden Racing and Team RidersDiscount.com look forward to a strong performance at Mid-Ohio when Jake makes his premier in his new Team RidersDiscount.com livery. You can follow the team’s progress at facebook.com/ridersdiscount where you can see Jake’s new bodywork coming together with regular updates and, at facebook.com/JakeHolden59 for Jake’s own perspective on everything racing.

Team RidersDiscount.com has stepped up to help Jake Holden get to his next AMA Pro race and beyond! After Holden’s original team owner was forced to move on, the team was left with only their equipment and very limited resources for the remainder of the season. Not wanting to see a good thing come to an end, RidersDiscount.com and Jake Holden Racing have teamed up for the remainder of the 2011 AMA Pro Daytona SportBike season. The agreement will see Jake continue to pursue his goal of running up front on his Ducati 848 EVO in the competitive AMA Daytona SportBike class with RidersDiscount.com as the title sponsor. Look for Jake Holden’s Ducati 848 EVO to be in full Team RidersDiscount.com livery starting at the Barber Superbike Classic in June! 

Jake Holden – “I would like to thank RidersDiscount.com for stepping up for the remainder of the 2011 AMA Daytona SportBike season. A few weeks ago my team and myself didn’t think we would make it to the next round, but with the help from our fans and friends we made it to Infineon and put on a great show. I’m excited to represent RidersDiscount.com and hope I can do them proud!!!!”

Brian Gibson, owner RidersDiscount.com – “Team RidersDiscount.com is no stranger to racing. We’ve competed everywhere with WERA, FUSA and CCS to AMA American SuperBike racing with riders like Taylor Knapp and Kurtis Roberts. Upon hearing about Jake Holden’s plight after Daytona, we were interested to see what we could do to get on board. We’re proud of Jake and the work his team has accomplished. After watching their performance at Infineon Raceway last weekend, we’re very excited to see what happens after the next green flag drops!”

In addition to RidersDiscount.com’s continued support in Daytona SportBike, look for Jake to make a special appearance in the American SuperBike class riding one of RD’s in-house prepared race bikes at an upcoming AMA Pro event.
