2009 Red Bull AMA U.S. Rookies Cup - Cancelled
The Red Bull AMA U.S. Rookies Cup is the latest casualty of the financial meltdown. Reductions in partner support led to the tough decision to cancel the season. The spirit of the Rookies Cup remains and American riders Benny Solis of North Hollywood, California, Hayden Gillim of Owensboro, Kentucky and Jake Gagne of Ramona, California will race around the world in the Red Bull Rookies Cup.
Solis won four races and the season championship in 2008.Gillim had 2 wins and was the runner-up.
Gagne won two races during the 2008 season and was the top finisher for the U.S. Team in Indianapolis and Valencia.
The 2009 season will feature eight races at six MotoGP race weekends,two double headers and four single races. We wish the riders a safe and successful season.
