Racing is fickle, in 2023 Cam was caught out by a couple of accidents he was collected in. In 2024 he broke his heel. He made some other mistakes too. He had about a three second lead when he crashed at barber on lap three lol. He can make the bmw work. I'm sure he could make the Yamaha work too. Just my layman opinion. I hope Jake comes back healthy next year. American superbike racing has gotten a lot more interesting these past couple of years, next year could be even better.
Richard pointed that out in an earlier podcast episode. Said his observation and others grumblings is it is fast af when on, but’s a fickle bike to make work.
