CYCLE NEWS RIDER OF THE YEAR / MOTOAMERICA SUPERBIKE CHAMPION CAMERON BEAUBIER
P72
Interview
okay because everything got
pushed back because of Covid,
and I ended up having surgery
and that gave me enough time
to heal up. I definitely wasn't
100-percent going into the sea-
son, but it didn't affect the bike. It
was more just trying to get back
in shape. It was definitely a crazy
start to the year, and it was pretty
frustrating dealing with a knee
injury. I was frustrated, man. I felt
so good in the handful of tests
that we did before we started the
season. I knew that with my bike
and how I was feeling that I was
going to have a good chance to
just crush everything. Luckily, I
healed up and everything was
good. It was all good, and I got
better throughout the year. I was
honestly surprised how dominant
we were able to be all season
long. It just showed how good
of a job Yamaha and Attack did
with our package. Everything
just started clicking. The other
championships we won, most of
them were nail biters and came
down to the last round most of
the time. This year it was pretty
cool to just put a stamp on things
and just go out like we did, for
sure. Honestly, it was so fun this
year just being able to do what
we were doing, and I was having
fun with the team. As a rider, see-
ing the team happy and having
a good time, it makes you feel
good, you know what I'm saying?
We were just able to go out and
crush week in and week out.
Thank you, and good night.
