Team Hammer has announced that Toni Elias will spearhead its M4 ECSTAR Suzuki program in 2020 MotoAmerica Superbikes as the team takes on the role of Suzuki’s premier road race team in the USA. Entering his fifth season racing in the MotoAmerica AMA/ FIM North American Superbike Series, the Spanish rider has already established himself as one of the series’ all-time greats.

Elias took the series by storm in 2016, winning the first three MotoAmerica Superbike races of his career on the all-new Suzuki GSX-R1000, and he hasn’t eased up: After finishing his rookie campaign ranked third, he won the 2017 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship and followed that up with runner-up finishes in 2018 and 2019.
