III LOWSIDE
BY RENNIE SCAYSBROOK
I
t was with great pleasure when
I saw an email from Cycle
News' MotoGP correspondent
Neil Morrison that contained a
news article on Cameron Beau-
bier's imminent departure from
American shores for the world
stage in Moto2 for the America
Racing Team.
Beaubier has utterly brained
them in MotoAmerica this year
and is clearly America's best
talent right now in a domestic
sense.
He's been helped this year by
having a superlative machine un-
derneath him, prepared by one
of the best in the game, Attack
Performance head honcho Rich-
ard Stamboli. But, there's no
escaping the fact the 2020 Mo-
toAmerica Superbike season has
been nothing short of a snooze
fest. Beaubier's dominance by
the middle of the season had
me nodding off on the couch in
the middle of Sunday afternoon,
which is not good from a specta-
tor point of view.
MotoAmerica needs unpre-
dictability, it needs different
names winning to keep fans and
sponsors happy. Remember the
processional late 1990s in the
500cc World Championship with
Mick Doohan waking up each
Sunday morning and wondering
who was going to finish second?
That's what it was like this year in
MotoAmerica, only with Beau-
bier doing the damage.
You can't blame Cameron for
A MOVE BEYOND
Cameron Beaubier is ready to take on new challenges.
