Team RidersDiscount.com has signed last year’s top finishing AMA Superbike privateer Taylor Knapp to ride the 2010 AMA American Superbike season under a full title sponsorship. Having scored several important finishes in AMA Pro last year, Knapp is approaching a promising season with Team RidersDiscount.com. Knapp will be riding a Yoshimura prepared Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbike with Ohlins suspension in the events.
Named Road Racing World’s “Young Gun” in 2005, Knapp has been racing as a privateer since turning pro in 2004. In 2008 he recorded numerous top-ten finishes in the AMA Pro Road Racing Series along with his first Superpole in the Daytona Sportbike Class at VIR. Knapp consistently scored excellent finishes in the AMA American Superbike 2009 season, allowing him to place ninth overall in his class, above several factory riders.
This will be RidersDiscount.com’s third year working with Taylor Knapp, with 2010 as the team’s first year becoming a full title sponsor. Last year Knapp rode the RidersDiscount.com GSX-R1000 starting at Road Atlanta, and RidersDiscount.com has supported Taylor since 2008. “This is a great opportunity for both of us,” says RidersDiscount.com – owner Brian Gibson. “We’re excited to work with a rider of Taylor’s caliber. Of course we’re all hoping he challenges the factory riders, and we’re he’s continuing his relationship with us.”
