    Indy: Sweeps, Grand Slams & Records

    Earlier this week we reported how unpredictable the 2020 AFT Singles was. We believe there is not even a hint of a dominant week in, week outr acewinner yet. AFT SuperTwins is far more easy to bet on. The winner is going to be on an Indian FTR750. Four races, four Indian wins, two to Mees two to current #1 Briar Bauman. Out of the 12 possible podium positions so far in 2020, only one position has been filled by a non-Indian rider, Bryan Smith's third place at the second Indy

It's a fairly fundamental change that sees the sport following a course set by MotoGP as far back as the 1980s. Instead of each race being open to any rider with a relevant licence, the majority of the grid is set season (barring injury) with a handful of 'wild card' spots available at each round, for rider who don't want to, or can't, commit to the full season.
