2 Wheel Weekend

[Victory103]

The US series MotoAmerica had 2 championships decided this weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park in both 600 Supersport and Superbike classes. As a fan, one really wants a close championship season and closer racing like any other motorsports series. In the Superbike class, based on points, factory Yamaha rider #1 Cam Beaubier only needed to finish, even if his championship rival and teammate #4 Josh Hayes won race 2. Half way into the race, the unthinkable happens as #1's R1 engine went south, pretty rare for a factory team. #4 Hayes, who took the lead early, was unable to run the pace of the factory Suzuki squad, he settled for 3rd and only a few points from winning the championship!

Can't wait for the World Superbike summer break to be over, but my primary series MotoGP has been a great watch with plenty of drama on and off the track (not NASCAR level drama but still).

IMHO this season's MotoGP series has been one of the best!
We've had wins from Yamaha, Honda, Ducati, Suzuki and 'Privateer' Honda's, along with 8 different winning riders, aside from the usual suspects, there has been 4 'First Time' winners.
No drama required, the racing has said it all.
Both Moto2 and Moto3 have been highly entertaining as well.
I'm looking forward to the appearance of KTM in MotoGP next year as well .........
