2023 MotoAmerica - Round 5 - The Ridge

For those of you who don't have a subscription, but who may be interested in the other classes:

Xavi Fores is cleaning up in Supersport. He is the Dorna euro-plant this season to help Dorna judge the talent in MotoAmerica, and he looks like Bautista. Warhorse have the bike dialed in and no one can touch him. He's incredibly late on the brakes, and he manages to keep the bike rolling through the corners, as well. The Ridge was another easy double. The only thing that could throw a spanner in the works is the new long-distance Supersport races worth double points. If he DNF's at one of those rounds, the season could get interesting.

Rocco Landers and his eponymous team (family) had funding problems, and the only ride he could find was with Robem Engineering Rodio Racing in Twins Cup. He's made few mistakes, and he missed the first round, but he's the class of the field, and has no trouble winning by a sizable margin at every event. He actually trails defending champ Blake Davis by 9 points, but Rocco will win easily if he stays upright and avoids counterproductive emotional outbursts.
