P146 CN 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.
