CYCLE NEWS RIDER OF THE YEAR / MOTOAMERICA SUPERBIKE CHAMPION CAMERON BEAUBIER
P70
Interview
to shake down and tracks to learn.
Mere days before everyone in the
USA gathered around for Thanks-
giving, Beaubier found himself on
the way to an airport and onto a
passenger jet set to haul butt to
Spain and the Circuito de Jerez-
Angel Nieto for his first outing as
a Moto2 World Championship
contender. In fact, read Beaubier's
Instagram post from the Jerez
circuit on Thanksgiving morning.
"Got my hands on the new
steed today. It's been great
getting to know @american_rac-
ing_team and looking forward to
the next 2 days here at Jerez!"
How'd he get there? How's
it going for him there? What'll
happen after he leaves there?
All questions worthy of asking
and questions Beaubier wants
to answer. Right before Cam-
eron reached high altitude and
booked it to Spain, Cycle News
tracked him down, sat him down
and turned on the recorder. A
man on a mission, one Cameron
Beaubier got us all up to speed.
Okay, you're about to get
on a passenger jet and go to
Spain. Crazy times, huh?!
Yeah, it's kind of crazy, dude.
I mean, it has all come together
so quick. I'm excited, man. It's
going to be sweet.
Cameron Beaubier: Cycle
News Rider of the Year. Has a
nice ring to it, eh?
Everyone over there at Cycle
News is awesome. I remember
with Cycle News just being a kid
and going into the dealership when
my dad would order parts and I'd
just be at the counter and read the
latest Cycle News and look at all
the pictures. I'm honored, to be
honest. I've been looking at Cycle
News since I was a little kid and I've
seen the names of guys who won
Rider of the Year throughout the
years, and it's special to me to be
Rider of the Year for Cycle News,
that's for sure.
The penultimate round at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway was
the only round where Beaubier
failed to win a race. It didn't
matter, he won the title there
instead for good measure.
