itting in the confines of the rented rider's change room at the back of
the expansive Valencia pit complex, Cameron Beaubier is a picture
of relaxation. Having just qualified his American Racing Team Kalex
in 13th, 0.606s from pole-sitter Alonzo Lopez, Beaubier knows there's only
one race left between him and the end of his grand prix career.
"Man, I can't wait to get home," he says with a smile.
The Californian has been living the GP dream, in all its good and
bad forms, for the last two seasons. Having been next to unbeatable in
MotoAmerica Superbike with the then factory Yamaha team, Beaubier's
competitive side got the better of him, and he was lured to replace
compatriot Joe Roberts in the American Racing Team under the guidance
of team owner Eitan Butbul and rider coach/Race Director, John Hopkins.
The highlight of his
two years in Moto2
came at Circuit of The
Americas this year
with a pole position
that sent the home
crowd into raptures.
