T
he fifth round of the Mo-
toAmerica AMA/FIM North
American Road Racing
Championship, the Honda Su-
perbike Showdown of Wisconsin,
saw some of the closest racing
of the season between the four
top superbike riders in America.
Cameron Beaubier stamped his
authority on the series, his double
victory meaning that in four rounds
he has made up a 37 point deficit,
after a disastrous round one at
COTA, into a seven-point advan-
tage over teammate, Josh Hayes.
Josh Herrin made it another
double Road America victory
with two Superstock 1000 wins,
Garrett Gerloff and Valentin
Debise shared the Supersport
wins, Richie Escalante and Bryce
Prince took the Superstock 600
wins, and Ashton Yates and Bran-
don Paasch took a win each in the
KTM RC 390 Cup.
Around the biggest road
course in the country,
the top four were never
more than this far apart
in race two.
