SUZUKI NEWS: Suzukicycles.com Goes Pink in Honor of Elena Myers
May 20, 2010
Elena Myers, who recently turned 16, made history at Saturday’s race at Infineon raceway by claiming the first win of her career in the AMA Supersport class aboard her No. 21 Lucas Oil Roadracingworld.com RMR Suzuki GSX-R600, and became the first female rider ever to win an AMA Supersport Class race. To commemorate and honor Elena’s historic win, Suzukicycles.com is going pink to show just how proud the company is of her achievement.
“Elena is a great example of a Suzuki racer. She has a lot of heart, a lot of talent, and now this amazing win to show the world she’s a tough competitor,” said American Suzuki Motor Corporation’s Communications Manager Steve Bortolamedi. “We at Suzuki are proud of her, and glad that she’s riding a Suzuki GSX-R600. Changing our Suzukicycles.com homepage pink in her honor is our way of supporting her young and promising racing career.”
With six rounds left in the 2010 season, and each event being a double header, Myers will have plenty of opportunities to add to her growing list of career wins. As a way of celebrating her achievements, the Suzukicycles.com team will be turning the site’s homepage pink for five days following every podium finish for Elena. Keep an eye on the Suzukicycles.com for updates on Elena’s races!

Props to Elena, although reading how it went down sounds messed up:
On lap ten, of 18 scheduled laps, Myers was in second place when the race was red flagged for the second time.[3] She had been in first in lap 9, but was passed in lap 10. The red flag was caused by the new leader, Joey Pascarella of the LTD Racing Yamaha team, having a high side crash, at which time the race was called, securing first place for Myers,[2][3] because officials determined lap 9 would be the final one of the race.[The race was not allowed to run the full 18 laps because cleaning up the track and restarting would have put the day's program too far behind schedule.[
