Today’s announcement ensures a brace of BMW machinery on the grid – the team electing to use the BMW M 1000 RR, which was launched in 2021 and has already been a winner on the world stage.
Spearheading the Superbike project are two world-class riders – Hector Barbera and PJ Jacobsen. The pair will race under the Tytlers Cycle Racing banner aboard Alpha Racing-spec BMW M 1000 RR motorcycles. Hector, who raced to an impressive seventh overall in his debut season last year, returns to the MotoAmerica series keen to show his true potential on the latest machinery, while 2022 sees PJ Jacobsen return to the paddock as a full-time rider after working as a rider coach this past year.
Tytlers Cycle Racing has partnered with RideHVMC Racing, enabling them to also run a Stock 1000 program this season dubbed Tytlers Cycle RideHVMC Racing. Representing the team on Alpha Racing-spec BMW M 1000 RR machinery will be Corey Alexander, Travis Wyman, and Zac Schumacher. Corey, who narrowly missed Stock 1000 title glory a year ago lines up alongside Travis, who is a proven race winner in the Stock 1000 class over the past few seasons. Wisconsin native Zac also steps up into MotoAmerica for a full campaign after a frontrunning season in CCS and ASRA competition in 2021. The trio will also take part in the Superbike class aboard their Stock 1000 machines for the full 10 rounds of the MotoAmerica Championship.
PJ Jacobsen: “I want to start off by saying a huge thank you to Michael Kiley and all the people behind this project, also all the people that continue to have faith in me and have pushed my name forward for this project. I took on a different role in my career with coaching last year and have been off the grid, but I’m still young and wanted to come back racing. I believe I have a lot left to show, and I am very hungry and determined and I’m really looking forward to this opportunity and looking forward to seeing what the year brings us. See you at the races.”\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”5″ ][cs_element_image _id=”6″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]

We had a group of eight young riders with coach PJ and all of them excelled throughout the day. Each rider beat their own personal best lap time around the track and gained a ton of new skills! This was a great opportunity for the children to learn technical skills like passing, hard braking, cornering, and starts. We love training these little minds to be like the pros!\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”5″ ][cs_element_image _id=”6″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]

Mahdi quickly learned the track layout and was gaining a ton of speed doing lead and follow laps around the track. He was able to learn how to aggressively pass competitors, and like all of our other students, Mahdi beat his personal best lap time over and over. Coach PJ was amazed by the large gap of time that Mahdi was gaining from when he first was out on the track. The two days of coaching really helped Mahdi gain some more confidence and skills!\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”5″ ][cs_element_image _id=”6″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]

Nathan Bettencourt has improved so much in just the past few weeks that every time we visit Bushnell with him, he ends up beating his own personal best lap time. Nathan has taken a serious step up in his racing career by training with coach PJ several days and weeks out of the winter vacation. He has gained skills in cornering, braking, starts, lap traffic and is constantly trying to gain his confidence with passing. Nathan is moving his way up to the top quickly with coach PJ and we can’t wait to see how well he does this year in the Motoamerica Ohvale cup series!\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”5″ ][cs_element_image _id=”6″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]
