Max Biaggi, who has also raced at Laguna Seca in MotoGP, is convinced that the new venue is a safe circuit and in time that the event will become a success.

“I've just watched it on the Internet and seen some pictures”, declared the Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati rider. “It looks like it's similar to European-standard tracks which is good. It's not like the American tracks which are not so safe and not so wide. When we started racing in America the sport was not that popular but in the last few years that we raced there a lot of people started to come and there were more people involved from the star-system who came close to this sport. Unfortunately where we go is in Utah, which is very far away, it's not like California. We'll see, it's the first time there and it depends a lot on what people expect from this kind of event. With time however, I think people will also go there.”

The sixth round of the HANNspree FIM Superbike World Championship, StriVectin-SD USA Round presented by HANNspree will take place over the weekend of May 30/31 – June 1.
