I dunno about which americans honestly. But Szoke, Martin and Trombino will likely be the canadians to watch. Last year Frank was smoking on his Yamaha and has the lap record. He always seems to go an extra 10% at mosport. I will be the guy who isn't racing his sv in the asm round that weekend ... if you see someone gimping around on crutches, say hi. that's likely me.
Szoke has won the last 3 races including last weekend at St. Bumpstache. I think the GSXR is faster in a straightline than the RC51 and Mosport is all about HP baby
I will root for Martin. At VIR last year he got 7th with less bike so should stack up ok against the amuricans. Corner 2 isn't about HP, just cojones but you're right about the rest I guess
