This weekend, from March 6 to 8, will take place the DAYTONA 200 2025, the 83rd edition of America's most historic motorcycle race, which has challenged the world's best motorcycle racers for more than seven decades and whose history has moved from the hard sands of Daytona Beach to the iconic "World Center of Racing"!
Among the categories of the MotoAmerica present this weekend, we will of course follow the Daytona 200 which competes with Supersport, but also this year the Mission King of the Baggers, on the one hand because of the recent signings of Loris Baz at Indian et Bradley Smith at Harley Davidson, but also quite simply because we find this competition as attractive as it is incongruous!
To follow the competitions and sessions live, everything happens at MotoAmericaLivePlus, with subscription, as for the rest of the championship. If you are addicted to these disciplines and you ask us, we can probably get you a discount like last year. Otherwise, we will report the action daily while waiting for the videos to appear on Youtube.
Here is the schedule of the various sessions that interest us, in French time.

As a reminder, Last year, Josh Herrin, on Ducati, dominated the Daytona 200 crossing the finish line with a 45-second lead, marking his third victory. The poleman Tyler Scott (Suzuki) finished second, Hayden Gillim (Suzuki) third, after the disqualification of Bobby Fong (Suzuki). A controversy marked the race with the disqualification of Bobby Fong for too large a fuel tank. Richie Escalante (Suzuki), initially second, finished fourth after running out of fuel on the last lap.
This year, the controversial sponsor of the triple winner seems to have let him down...
Concerning King of the Baggers, Kyle Wyman won both races on a Harley-Davidson Road Glide. The Australian Troy Herfoss (Indian Challenger) finished second in both races, followed by James Rispoli (Harley-Davidson) in third place.
