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. Beaubier salutes the Monster Energy Yamaha/Attack Performance Racing Team as he crosses the line a winner, putting a full stop on his MotoAmerica career.
