Beaubier Back To MotoAmerica
Cycle News Staff | September 20, 2022
The American Racing Team arrived in Aragon reeling from the news Cameron Beaubier has decided to return to race in the States in 2023. The Californian was expected to renew for a third season in the Moto2 category but has decided to return to the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship.
Cameron Beaubier says his MotoGP aspirations have digressed with age, but he wants to race MotoAmerica again.
Explaining the reasons behind the shocking decision, the five-time MotoAmerica champ, said, “I mainly came over here with the hopes of progressing into MotoGP [but] I’m going to be 30 in December. So, no matter how good I do next year, I don’t see myself getting into MotoGP at 31 years old. I’m okay with that but I don’t want to find myself racing in this class year after year, so I’ve decided the twilight years of my career would be better spent at home again.
“As well as how intense it is on the track, I’m not going to lie, part of my decision comes from getting home sick. I’ve been in Northern California my whole life, and it has been difficult spending significant amounts of time away from everything and everyone I know and love. I didn’t realize how much I appreciated racing in the MotoAmerica series and that ability to be home after every race weekend.” CN
