It was a big day for Moor on
Sunday. The 15-year-old former
Mini Cup rider notched his first
career MotoAmerica race in race
two. It was another "pack mental-
ity" race for MotoAmerica's entry-
level riders where you didn't know
who'd win until they actually took
the checkered flag. Moor prevailed
over SportbikeTrackGear.com Ka-
wasaki rider Max Van, who came
from back in the pack to take the
runner-up position over third-place
rider Dreher.
SUPERSPORT
At this still-early point in the
season, it's safe to say that
Spaniard Xavi Fores loves racing
in MotoAmerica. The Warhorse
HSBK Racing Ducati rider is un-
defeated so far this season, and
he notched his fourth consecu-
tive Supersport victory in race
one at Road America.
Incidentally, Fores has begun
his first MotoAmerica season with
more consecutive race victories
than any other first-year rider in the
history of the series. Fores and his
Ducati Panigale V2 crossed the
finish line just under 0.3 seconds

the Kentucky rider happy to get a
podium result at a track where he
felt he would struggle due to the
power and speed of the BMWs.
Gillim was some 16 seconds
behind De Keyrel at the checkered
flag, and he was also able to take
advantage of the fact that points
leader Ezra Beaubier ran off the
track and finished fourth.
JUNIOR CUP
MotoAmerica's Junior Cup
riders started the day at Road
America, and the series' entry-
level riders, who are known to
race close together in packs,
take advantage of Road Amer-
ica's four-mile racecourse and
long straightaways to make
draft passes at carefully timed
moments. The result in race
one was a photo finish with the
podium decided after carefully
studying the still photo captured
at the finish line. Bad Boys Rac-
ing Kawasaki's Avery Dreher
very solidly won the race, while
the second- and third-place
finishers ended up being Fairium
