BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA (UNITED STATES) – 18 MAY 2026 – The Aprilia RS 660 proved once again to be the benchmark of the MotoAmerica Twins Cup class during the weekend at Barber Motorsports Park (May 15–17, 2026). Highlighting the technical prowess and versatility of the platform, 23 of the 38 registered riders for the event chose the Aprilia RS 660 as their machine of choice, representing more than 60% of the most competitive field in this lightweight twin-cylinder race class, while an Aprilia RS 660 was the top of the charts for every session of the Alabama weekend.

While the depth of the field was on full display with a battle of brands across the MotoAmerica round at Barber, the RS 660 was piloted by five of the top 10 riders that finished the Qualifying 1 event on Friday: Robem Engineering Aprilia’s Hank Vossberg (P1), Speed Demon Racing powered by Ready to Ride’s Logan Cunnison (P2), Ghetto Customs’ Chris Parrish (P3), Brown Town Racing’s Chase Brown (P8), and MotoACE Racing’s Zachary Foster (P10).
As temperatures rose into Saturday, it was Vossberg (P1), Cunnison (P4), Brown (P6), and Parrish (P10), who held on to top 10 positions for the weekend’s race grid, while the Aprilia RS 660 was the machine that slated every grid placement from P11 through P18.

When the racing began, the weekend belonged to who else but Hank Vossberg. His victory in Race 1 saw a 5.316-second margin over the nearest competitor, leading every lap of the 12-lap race. Cunnison battled for a podium position, before a mid-race mechanical ceased his challenge from fourth place ending his race early. Parrish finished fifth, and Weyh Racing’s Andrew Weyh seventh, while Foster rounded out the top 10.
