RUSSIA (February 26, 2020) – Indian Motorcycle and Workhorse Speed Shop today revealed the new Appaloosa v2.0 on the frozen surface of Lake Baikal where it will make its 2020 racing comeback and its ice racing debut.
Having travelled thousands of miles to take part in the second running of the Baikal Mile, creator Brice Hennebert said “I can’t believe we are actually here. What an amazing place. I am so pleased to finally reveal the new Appaloosa after weeks of hard work to get here. I can’t wait to see Sebastien blast down the 1-mile strip.”
With Technical Inspections and competitor briefings making up today’s schedule, Appaloosa v2.0 and Sébastien Lorentz get their first chance to race on the ice tomorrow, March 27.
The epic trip to Siberia and the action from Lake Baikal can be followed across Indian Motorcycle social channels with the hashtag #IndianxWorkhorse.
