VOLUME 59 ISSUE 39 SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 P77 J ake Gagne has made it two MotoAmerica Superbike titles in a row after taking first- and second-place finishes at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama. The Colorado resident took 12 race wins in 2022 but in a season that included three non- finishes, he and Ducati's Danilo Petrucci went into the final round separated by just four points with 50 left to play for. Gagne made the perfect start to the Barber round by taking pole position and rocketing clear to a 5.4-second win over Westby Racing's Mathew Scholtz. Petrucci could only manage third, giving Gagne a 13-point lead going into race two. Jake Gagne made everyone at Yamaha sweat on it, but got the job done in race two. IT CAME DOWN TO THE LAST RACE OF THE YEAR, BUT JAKE GAGNE MADE IT BACK-TO-BACK MOTOAMERICA SUPERBIKE TITLES.
