Lucca Allen was back in the USA this past weekend for the latest round of the 2025 MotoAmerica Supersport series at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Washington state.
The 2.5-mile circuit is unique and provides a real challenge to riders due to its elevation changes and technical layout.
Lucca, who had tested previously at the venue was confident ahead of the weekend in what was a ‘home’ race for his CW Moto team.
Friday’s practice session started well with Lucca taking a couple of laps to bed himself in. After a short pit stop, he headed back out and began to push. Unfortunately, on an improving lap the #311 crashed heavily at Turn 7. The result, a damaged bike, and a battered and bruised rider.
The team did an excellent job to repair the bike for second qualifying on Saturday morning and Lucca was able to make it onto the grid despite discomfort when riding.
A strong start that saw him gain positions on the opening lap of the first fifteen lap race was positive but as the race progressed it proved too much physically for Lucca who retired.
He did ride in morning warm up on Sunday but after evaluating his condition it was decided that he would not take part in race two.
Understandably disappointed, Lucca and the CW Moto squad turn their attention to their next event at Laguna Seca, California, in a fortnight.
Lucca Allen:
“It was a tough weekend at The Ridge. Having a big crash in FP1, five laps in was not ideal and despite giving it my best shot I was just unable to race in race two. I am so sorry to the team, all our sponsors, supporters, and everyone that is helping me personally this year. It was nice to see so many local supporters at the track too. I am looking forward to resetting and starting afresh at Laguna Seca next time out. I want to say a massive thanks to the team for all their hard work and belief in me and to Jayson Uribe who was a massive help.”
