MotoAmerica | Ridge Motorsports Park | June 23 - 25

Yeah, sure. A guy that never has done much of anything in any other championship is beating the rest of the field by 10+ seconds on skill. Including one of the most successful rider in MA history.

Nothing to do with having extra 200+ ccs.

You must ride a Ducati.

 

Looks to me like the most experienced rider in the field may be holding back some. 1:20.1 at Summit Point on a 400 isn't slow. Better than most experts on lightweights.

 

CamP needs to stop doing CamP shit.

 

Here we go with the rules....so Beaubier caused red flag, but was he "actively participating " ?

 

All in all the results are probably what they would’ve been but damn, MA applies rules inconsistently. I’m sure they’ll point to the fact that CB crossed the next timing line in 7th but that was after the red flag. Once that flag is thrown, it likely affects other riders and could allow CB to get to that line before another. If that is their reasoning, I’m sure MA doesn’t want riders racing past the red flag in an attempt to beat the downed rider to the next scoring line but that’s what they are possibly creating with their application of the rules.

I’ll be interested in their official explanation.

 

Stanboli called it last year, a Superbike racing Supersport.

 

To be fair, the last one to win a bunch of shit overseas was Spies in 09' and PJ with a few in WWSP. Let's not act like we have world talent winning shit around here. Quite frankly it's embarrassing.

 

Win a bunch? Him and House went over and kicked arse big time on new tracks and tires he never raced on and won a championship the first year.

 

Were you here last year when a ex-motogp rider on a factory Ducati got his teeth kicked in by one of our "embarrassing" riders?

The guy has near 50% more displacement and has done NOTHING over the pond. He's nothing special.

Its the bike. The rules suck.

That ruling is the dumbest thing. So you can crash and cause a red flag and only get a 20 second penalty? Why do you get to score any points if your not able to finish the race. The new rules are dumb.

 

Selective amnesia here I see. Don't mind the RedBull HRC ass kicking in WSBK. You ever think Petrucci got the GP ride over Miller because of his passport and Jack wasn't the second coming of Stoner? Petrucci gets on a street based superbike on tracks, tires, and a culture he's never been with and actually beats and runs with our guys you define as getting his teeth getting kicked in. Cut the blind patriotism, it's holding our people back.

 

That's what I don't understand. At the time of the actual red flag, he was not in 7th. Prior to the red flag, he was 2nd.

 

Also, Xavi Fores hasn't done "nothing" overseas. He spent quite a bit of time at the pointy end in WSBK while racing for second-tier teams, and earned a bunch of podiums to boot.

 

He was so good he ended up in America racing against a bunch of super sport riders.

Got it.

 

He caused the red flag

 

What's your opinion of Josh Hayes then? Because he is also in America racing against a bunch of supersport riders....

 

Keep dancing.

The rules package sucks. Period.

 

Hate much?

 

I know. And he was "awarded" 7th place. Either leave him DNF, or revert to lap prior. But where he crossed the next split AFTER a red flag makes no sense.

 

I barely care about a 400 in MA other than they are being ridden fast unlike the Royal Enfield's. If she can set the world on fire on a 400 grid up, Kayla did.
