Is The Ridge one of the newer circuits on the MotoAmerica calendar?
It's a track with a reputation for a wide, fast layout — feels like it's settled into the calendar fairly recently.
Calling it "in good form" based on just being fastest in free practice feels a bit premature.
The title fight across the whole weekend has been unmissable right from the season opener.
Scholtz has felt consistently fast all season.
The Ridge is famous for its wide, fast layout, so being fastest in FP is a good sign.
FP times don't necessarily translate directly into race-day strength, so I'm curious how things develop from qualifying onward.
