In the decisive third race, Herrin crossed the line in fourth, cementing his position as runner-up in the championship standings.

“I’m really happy with the effort my team put in all year. It was so much hard work and they deserved to have the number one back on the bike again. Thank you so much to the whole Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati crew and all our sponsors and fans, and congrats to Cam (Beaubier) for taking the title.”

Despite a tough finale in New Jersey, Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing riders’ strong performance over the season secured top-five MotoAmerica Superbike Championship results and Yamaha the Manufacturers’ Title.
Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Bobby Fong and Jake Gagne finished third and fourth, respectively, in the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, with Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. (YMUS) once again earning the MotoAmerica Superbike Manufacturers’ title. Although it was a strong year for the team that saw them earn a combined total of seven wins and 21 podium finishes aboard the R1, it was a bittersweet conclusion to the season. After both riders battled up front in a hard-fought finale showdown, Gagne finished sixth and seventh, with Fong having a pair of crashes in Sunday’s Superbike doubleheader at the New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey.
In Race 2, Gagne got another great start from the front row of the grid, slotting into second behind his teammate before getting shuffled to third on the second lap. It was another tight battle at the front with seven riders in the mix. Gagne fought inside the top five, but ultimately dropped back to seventh with five laps to go and would cross the line sixth. In the final race of the season, he was once again second and battled in the lead group early on, but as the race wore on, the Colorado rider lost some time and ultimately finished seventh. Gagne concluded the season fourth in the championship, earning a victory at the opening round at Barber Motorsports Park and a total of seven podium finishes.
On the heels of a hard-earned victory in Race 1, Fong got an even better start to Race 2 from pole position, grabbing the holeshot and leading the first two laps. It was another heavyweight title fight at the front, as he and his rivals exchanged the lead multiple times. In the final laps, it turned into a four-rider battle, with Fong in the runner-up position and unfortunately going down on the final lap in Turn 3C and crashing out of the race. Still within reach of the title heading into the final race of the season, Fong got another great start and led multiple laps. Unfortunately, on Lap 8, he tucked the front while in the lead and ultimately had to withdraw from the race with damage to the bike. It was a hard-fought battle for the crown, where Fong had a standout year with his new team, earning six wins to more than double his win record in the premier class, and scoring a total of 14 podiums to end the season third in the championship.
The team now shifts its focus to the world stage with Fong making his WorldSBK debut aboard the Attack Performance Strack Racing Progressive Yamaha R1 as a wild card entry at the penultimate round in Estoril, Portugal (October 10–12) and the season finale in Jerez, Spain (October 17–19).
Richard Stanboli – Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing Team Manager:
“Today didn’t go the way we wanted, but overall, it was a good year. We were in the fight all the way to the last race. Now we’ll regroup and focus on the next challenge with the WorldSBK wild card rounds.”
Jake Gagne – Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing #32:
“Not the way we wanted to finish off the year, as I struggled to keep pace in the second part of the races today. I want to give a massive thanks to the team for sticking by me this year and working harder than anyone!”
Bobby Fong – Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing #50
“Saturday was great, we had a good race and a good battle with my competitors. I felt really good on the bike. It was good coming into today with that little extra bit of a points gap, but I knew I had my work cut out for me. In Race 2, I gave it everything I had. One of my competitors didn’t get on the gas when he should’ve, and I ran into the back of him, which is my fault. I want to apologize to all my fans, the team, and everybody, because it looked like I was a sore loser, making hand gestures, but it was in the heat of the moment.”
“In Race 3, I absolutely had to win the race and have a bit of luck. I got a good start and was leading the race, and then unfortunately tucked the front. It’s hard to put into words the disappointment of how things ended, but there were a lot of positives to take away from the season. We made a lot of steps forward, got a lot of race wins and podium finishes, and we were in the fight until the end.”

More from a press release issued by Robem Engineering:
Although one of the Robem Engineering riders clinched the 2025 Twins Cup title at the previous round, the team’s other rider had a race to remember Sunday at the MotoAmerica season finale at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Though the Twins Cup champion elect – Alessandro Di Mario – had an off weekend by his standards, his teammate, Hank Vossberg, took a hard-fought victory in Sunday’s race to finish third in the class points standings.
Di Mario did secure a second place finish on Saturday and rounded out the season with a 97-point advantage in the Twins Cup points standings. Di Mario finished the season with seven victories and four second place finishes in 12 races, as well as five pole positions.
Vossberg finished the season with one win, three second place finishes and three third place finishes despite not taking part in the first four races of the season.
The weekend started off well for both Robem Engineering riders. Vossberg posted the second-fastest time in Friday morning’s practice session, and Di Mario was fifth fastest. Later Friday in Qualifying 1, Di Mario ended that session on provisional pole, and Vossberg had provisionally qualified third. Saturday morning’s Qualifying 2 saw the Robem Engineering riders lock out the first two spots on the starting grid, as Di Mario maintained his grip on pole position by a mere 0.066 seconds over Vossberg to clinch his fifth pole of the 2025 season.
Later Saturday, Di Mario missed out on the hole shot when Race 1 got underway but had assumed the race lead by the end of Lap 1. Vossberg didn’t get a good start and had slipped back to seventh place at the end of Lap 1. As Di Mario was protecting a narrow lead, Vossberg regrouped and began gaining positions. Vossberg had climbed to third place by the end of Lap 7, which is where he finished the race. Di Mario led most of the race but dropped to second place on Lap 10 of the 13-lap contest and missed out on the win by a mere 0.040 seconds.
Sunday morning’s Race 2 brought better fortunes for Vossberg but challenges for Di Mario. The champion-elect began falling down the running order on the first lap and ran as low as ninth on Lap 8 before finishing the race in seventh. Vossberg was one of a pack of four riders who broke away at the front of the field. In the closing laps, Vossberg was able to get by lapped traffic better than his competitors and used the small gap that gave him to secure the win by 0.439 seconds.
The Robem Engineering team thanks its many fans and sponsors for their support this season.
Hank Vossberg / Robem Engineering:
“It was a great race weekend here at New Jersey for the last round of the year. I feel great getting my first win in the last race of the year – and getting third in the championship too. I can’t thank the team enough for giving me an amazing Aprilia to ride – it handled amazing.”
Alessandro Di Mario / Robem Engineering:
“Although the weekend didn’t go as we wanted it to, I still want to thank the whole team. My Aprilia worked amazing all year, and I’m really satisfied with how the championship turned out.”
