Cameron Beaubier and Garrett Gerloff with the Monster team’s R1 Ms, Elias and Herrin with their Suzuki Yoshimuras, and Supersport champion JD Beach with his Yamaha were all on the track.
Just to clear up any doubt and warn his opponents, Cameron Beaubier - straight from the number 1 position, the umpteenth one for him - dominated the sessions, bringing his Yamaha factory to a limit of 1:45.2, unmatched by the competition.
It was the Californian’s best lap ever in Thunderhill. “I had already realized in the previous tests that I had an excellent starting point to work from,” Cameron revealed , “and this is where I confirmed my previous feeling. I wasn’t well on Wednesday, and I was a bit frustrated, but I continued to ride ok. Thursday, I was in good shape, and it was nice to rediscover my R1.”
His opponents definitely now know that they’ll have to fight for the title with the three-time US champion who’s at the top of the list. Beaubier continued: “not having many new things to test, I dedicated my time to race stints. Everything went well. I’m happy, and I hope I can improve the performance of the Yamaha engine.”
