Warhorse Ducati/American Racing’s Alessandro Di Mario led the MotoAmerica Parts Unlimited Talent Cup warmup on Sunday at Circuit of The Americas. Roadracing World Young Guns’ Kensei Matsudaira finished second, followed by Tytler’s Cycle Racing’s Hank Vossberg, Jones Honda’s Bodie Paige, and D&D Certified Racing’s Landen Smith.
Celestino Vietti won the FIM Moto2 World Championship race Sunday at Misano World Circuit – Marco Simoncelli, in San Marino. Riding his Beta Tools SpeedRS Boscoscuro on Pirelli control tires, the home hero won the 22-lap race by 0.747 second.
Barry Baltus was the runner-up on his Fantic Racing Lino Sonego Kalex.
Daniel Holgado was third on his CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team Kalex.
Diogo Moreira finished fourth on his Italtrans Racing Team Kalex.
Senna Agius took fifth on his LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt IntactGP Kalex and his teammate, championship point leader, Manuel Gonzalez finished the race sixth.
American Joe Roberts finished Sunday’s race 20th on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex.
Manuel Gonzalez leads the championship with 227 points, 39 ahead of Diogo Moreira who has 188 points. Aron Canet is third with 188 points.
Vietti masters Misano for first victory of 2025. The #13 is the tenth different winner in 2025 with a perfect home display.
Blasting off from P2 and leading by the first turn, Celestino Vietti (Beta Tools SpeedRS Team) didn’t put a foot wrong as he eased to a first win of the season in front of a packed home crowd. A sensational ride by the winner and also by the rest of the podium finishers as Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) climbed from fourth to take P2 and Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) backed up his Barcelona win with P3 at the San Marino GP.
Snatching the holeshot to Turn 1 from P2 on the grid, Vietti made a lightning start to get ahead of polesitter Daniel Holgado and Diogo Moreira and Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP). Further back and on the exit of Turn 6, Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) was forced out and that dropped him down and outside the top ten after a decent start.
By Lap 7, the battle at the front had settled down somewhat with a gap forming between Holgado in P2 and Moreira in P3. On Lap 9, Gonzalez made a lunge at Turn 14 to pass the #10 but ran wide, allowing the Brazilian to retake third but it wasn’t done yet. Gonzalez tried again at the start of Lap 11 at Turn 1 but Moreira retaliated again at Turn 4, the battle now allowing Baltus and Senna Agius (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) to form a queue for the last podium place. At Turn 11, Gonzalez launched his latest attack and this time made it stick as Moreira ran off track but then, on Lap 13, the #18 found himself under attack from Baltus and the Belgian took third.
Moreira continued to drop back as he battled with Agius from Turn 10 and down to Turn 11 on Lap 15, the Australian now breaking into the top five. Meanwhile, the fight for P1 had seen Vietti stretch his advantage to over a second for the first time in the Grand Prix, now looking on course to take a first win of 2025 and a second consecutive win at Misano. Holgado was encountering problems of his own as he was under attack from a charging Baltus, who got P2 with four to go.
In the battle behind, Agius cleared Gonzalez after a Turn 1 error for the Spaniard, also allowing Moreira to come by too. However, on the penultimate lap, a mistake by Agius at Turn 8 as he ran wide, leaving him vulnerable to Gonzalez as both of them struggled for grip in the closing stages. Moreira, now a safe fourth, ready to take vital points out of the #18’s lead.
Out front though, Vietti was perfect, resisting a late charge by the #7 to take a first win of 2025 and a third podium of the season. Baltus was a fine second for the fifth time this season, whereas Holgado was on the rostrum again in third. Moreira got to the chequered flag in fourth ahead of Agius whilst Gonzalez was sixth; only three points taken out of Manugas’ lead but that could prove vital going into the final six rounds of the season.
Injured back in Barcelona, it was a solid ride from Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) to take seventh place and not lose too many points to Gonzalez. David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) clinched eighth from 11th on the grid, ahead of Tony Arbolino (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2) and teammate Izan Guevara. After his Lap 1 excursion at Turn 6, Dixon came home in 16th.
Superbike races don’t get much better than the one that took place on Saturday in Texas, with the top three in the championship exchanging blows for all 12 laps of the 3.40-mile Circuit of The Americas.
After 12 frantic laps, the top three crossed the line with less than half a second separating race winner Josh Herrin from third-placed Bobby Fong, with Cameron Beaubier sandwiched between the two. To make things even more interesting, the top three were on different brands of motorcycles: Ducati (Herrin), BMW (Beaubier), and Yamaha (Fong).
With the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship reaching a boiling point with just four races left in the championship, including tomorrow’s race two at COTA, only 18 points separate the top three in the chase for the crown.
Of the three, Herrin needed the win the most as he came into the COTA round trailing Fong by 27 points. That deficit is now down to 18. With his second-place finish today, Beaubier also gained on Fong. The five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion is now just 13 points behind.
Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Herrin did most of the leading. Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Beaubier had a few shots at leading, but couldn’t make it stick, and Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Fong never led, but was always in earshot of whoever was leading.
It came down to the final couple of corners with Fong trying a desperation pass that didn’t work on Beaubier, who also made a last-ditch effort that saw him run off track, but he still had enough of a gap to beat Fong for second – by .031 of a second.
Late in the race it was Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Richie Escalante who was making the most noise as he was fourth and making inroads to the top three at a clip of half a second a lap. On the final lap, however, it all came apart as Escalante crashed out.
That left Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim in fourth place, some four seconds ahead of Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Sean Dylan Kelly.
Gillim’s teammate JD Beach ended up sixth, which also gave him the victory and the Superbike Cup Championship – for those racing Stock 1000-spec motorcycles in the Superbike class.
FLOLAW’s Benjamin Smith was seventh with Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates eighth. Aftercare Scheibe Racing’s Danilo Lewis was ninth with Fong’s teammate Jake Gagne remounting and rounding out the top 10. Gagne was battling in the lead group when he crashed on the fifth lap.
Superbike Unlimited Racing’s Max Stauffer was 11th, with the Australian making his MotoAmerica debut this weekend at COTA.

Bobby Fong – Third Place
“I hate to do stuff like that, really,” Fong said of his desperation attempt at passing Beaubier. “He’s a good buddy of mine. I know he’s going to return the favor soon. It does suck, but I had to go for it. I knew Richie (Escalante) was coming behind me. That’s the thing. I didn’t know how close he was. I didn’t know he crashed. I could see on my pit board that he was literally catching us half a second a lap. So, I’m like, ‘I need to go.’ But I know once I get in a battle with them it’s going to slow the overall pace up, and then it will be four dudes fighting for the win. So, I didn’t really know what to do. But I knew I had to do something at the last two turns because I knew Richie was going to go for the podium for sure. But these two dudes rode great. I’m happy to be close to them at this track for sure. It was a long, hot one. I know they’re injured. I’m looking forward to New Jersey, for sure.”
Cameron Beaubier – Second Place
“Honestly, I was riding behind (Josh) Herrin and I felt like I had a little pace, but then when I did get up front I was starting to push the front around and slide quite a bit. I think the track was just hot and greasy. Honestly, bummed with the second (place). We need to make some points up. At least we made a couple back on Bob (Fong). Josh (Herrin) rode a great race. I tried to do something kind of last minute in the last corner and he scraped me up, which was a good move. I’m glad we’ve got tomorrow to try again. Getting to the wrist thing, I’ve had a pretty bad week. Crashed my bicycle, like I told you, on Saturday last week. Was trying to keep it quiet, but you can’t keep much quiet around the pits. I’m just really happy with my team. Big thanks to them for getting me comfortable on the bike. We had to change the seating position up and the bars a little bit just to get me through the weekend. Honestly, I’m happy that I’m even racing because Tuesday was a different story. I was kind of scratching my head if I’d be able to ride or not. Thanks to Dr. Price for helping me out this weekend also. Also Dr. Brian. I said some stuff to him, and he got in touch with Dr. Price and told me what I needed to do for the weekend, so thanks to those guys. On to tomorrow.”
Josh Herrin – Winner
“I told my guys, best-case scenario, obviously is Cam (Beaubier) getting second and Bobby (Fong) getting third because it allows me to gain some points on Bobby. I was in a position this year that was different than a lot of times. I guess I was in it last year too, but I let it get to me a little bit too much this year. Just sometimes where I could have taken some risk to try to get a win, I just settled instead. Not to say I would have got the win, but I would have tried a little bit harder. But it was just kind of like, ‘We’re safe.’ I think it just got to my head, which is weird because it hasn’t in the past. I don’t know. I’m just using that. I’m hoping that’s what it was, because going into this weekend, I just wanted to think about trying to get wins again and not care about the championship and kind of play into that underdog role and just try to attack. Just try to have fun in practice, qualifying, race. Just have fun and go out there, screw around. It seemed to work. Today we made a big gamble, and we went with the (Dunlop) R7, which obviously we won but it was super risky. In that race, obviously, you know that the pace was not the best. I was just trying to hold them off as much as I could. I honestly thought they were going to come by and just fly by. When Cam came by, I just threw the kitchen sink at him to try to get it and was able to get that lap time. I think tomorrow the R5 will help us out a little bit and especially with how greasy it is. So, it was a crazy last couple weeks. I was pretty down in the dumps, like I talked to you about. I knew that I threw it away, because all I needed to do was just go get some points on the weekends where I wasn’t feeling like I could get a win, and instead I just went out and pushed harder than maybe I should have and just made some mistakes. Just trying to claw my way back as much as I can and, hopefully, we can be in it at the end.”
More, from a news release issued by MotoAmerica:

Fast on Friday, a new lap record and pole position on Saturday morning, and a runaway lights-to-flag victory on Saturday afternoon. So far, it’s not a bad weekend to be Mathew Scholtz.
Strack Racing’s Scholtz, who earlier in the day broke Garrett Gerloff’s Supersport lap record that had stood since 2016, led every lap of Saturday’s race at Circuit of The Americas, crossing the finish line a tick over 10 seconds ahead of his nearest pursuer.
The early laps saw the top four together with Scholtz always leading, and with Celtic/Economy Lube + Tire/Warhorse HSBK Ducati’s Cameron Petersen, Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL’s PJ Jacobsen and his Strack Racing teammate Blake Davis giving chase.
The four ran in formation for the first five laps, but the foursome was broken up when Petersen had a huge highside on the exit of the left-hander that leads to the long backstraight. The crash cost Davis, as well, as he had to take evasive action and lost his hold on third place to Jacobsen.
Davis, however, didn’t give up, and the battle for second place turned into a good one as Jacobsen hit a false neutral, ran wide, and allowed Davis to catch up. From there it was a battle to the end between the two, with Davis beating Jacobsen by a scant .194 of a second.
Scholtz, meanwhile, crossed the finish line with some 10 seconds in hand, happy to have won his eighth Motovation Supersport race of the year, and also pleased that his teammate Davis took valuable points away from Jacobsen in the title chase.
Behind the top three came a battle for fourth between Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott and Jacobsen’s teammate Kayla Yaakov. Despite running off the track on two occasions, Scott was able to beat Yaakov to the line by .106 of a second.
With his win and Jacobsen’s third-place finish, Scholtz now leads the New Yorker by 16 points, 308-292. Davis is third with 230 points.
‘We’ve kind of seen throughout the season that if I have a bit of a gap in the first practice on Friday, then I’m able to kind of keep that pace going,” Scholtz said. “But it just seemed like every single session we went out there, everyone picked up massive time. Not just .2, .3. It was like .6, .7. It was one of those kinds of tracks. Honestly, in today’s race, I thought that I would have had the pace, and I would have been gone. By lap five or six, it was still G3 or G4 and I kind of knew that these guys were there. I wasn’t panicking, but I was like, ‘I’m going to have to kind of pick it up.’ I did a 12.5 and a 12.6 back-to-back, and I felt like I had one or two tenths left. Then one lap across the line and it was plus two or three seconds. So, I kind of just chilled in the high 12s, low 13s, and just kind of eked out the gap a little bit. Overall, the bike has been working great. COTA has always been a really good circuit for me. For once when I won, PJ (Jacobsen) wasn’t second. It seems like he’s been doing that most of the season. So, it was nice to kind of get those extra points. Overall, I know that these boys are coming in the second race tomorrow, so I’m going to have to pick up something.”
Mission King Of The Baggers – Gillim’s Day, Wyman’s Year
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Hayden Gillim was nothing short of untouchable in Saturday’s Mission King Of The Baggers race one. Gillim, who dominated the Mission King Of The Baggers Challenge on Saturday morning, led the race that really counted on Saturday afternoon from start to finish.
While Gillim scored his second win in what has been a rough season for the Kentuckian, his win was overshadowed by Kyle Wyman’s fourth-place finish that resulted in him taking the 2025 Mission King Of The Baggers Championship – his second title in the class.
So, is 2025 the best year of Wyman’s life?
“By far,” Wyman said. “Hannah (his wife) and I welcomed our first child. He’s five weeks old. He’s here this weekend. KWR (Kyle Wyman Racing)… we won the Super Hooligan title at Mid-Ohio, and now we have the King Of The Baggers Championship. So, it’s definitely a dream year. It’s hard to dream up anything better than that.
With Gillim out front, the final few laps saw a battle for second between S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Loris Baz and RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Rocco Landers. At the finish line, it was Baz getting the nod over Landers by .111 of a second.
With Wyman fourth, fifth and sixth went to his teammates Bradley Smith and James Rispoli, respectively.
Baz’s teammate Troy Herfoss gutted it out, with the Australian suffering with an injured shoulder and cracked pelvis to finish seventh.
With three races left to run, Wyman has an insurmountable points lead of 90 over Baz, 240-150. Herfoss holds on to third with 133 points.
Stock 1000 – Beach Stays Alive In Title Chase After Thriller
A thrilling Stock 1000 race went to Real Steel Honda’s JD Beach after a race-long dogfight with OrangeCat Racing’s Jayson Uribe that went to the last corner on the final lap. The win also gave Beach another day of life in the championship fight as points leader Andrew Lee and his OrangeCat Racing BMW finished fourth.
Lee now leads Beach by 14 points with only tomorrow’s race at Circuit of The Americas remaining in the Stock 1000 Championship, 176-162. Uribe is third with 154 points.
The margin of victory was .590 of a second, but it was actually much closer than that as Beach was on the inside going into the final corner and Uribe ended up in no-man’s land on the exit while Beach wheelied to victory. The pair were glued together for the majority of the race, with Uribe doing most of the leading.
Third place went to Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates by 3.2 seconds over Lee, who is obviously thinking about the championship at this point.
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki’s Rocco Landers was 2.3 seconds behind Lee and some 13 seconds ahead of BPR Racing Yamaha’s Bryce Kornbau, who emerged from a pack of five riders to finish sixth.
Kornbau’s teammate Deion Campbell was seventh, with Castrol/Lamkin Racing’s Nolan Lamkin, Edge Racing’s Jason Waters, and PDR Motorsports’ Diego Perez rounding out the top 10 finishers.
“That was a great race,” Beach said. “Jayson (Uribe) was riding phenomenal. It was all I could do to stay with him. We were just going back and forth. He had areas on the track where he was stronger and there were areas where I was stronger. I was a little desperate the last lap, trying to do the passes and just kind of making them stick. The last two turns, it was just good racing. I gave Jayson a few (taps to the head) to think about that. But honestly, I would have done the same thing. It was just the heat of the moment. But he races clean every time we go out on track, and I love racing with him. I’ve got nothing against him or the team. It was just a great race. I’ve got to thank my American Honda bike. It was a good day, but it’s going to be a fight tomorrow. We’re still in it. We’ve still got a long shot. I’m going to get hydrated, go out there and race Superbikes, and these guys better be ready for tomorrow.”
Parts Unlimited Talent Cup By Motul – Super Di Mario
Warhorse Ducati/American Racing’s Alessandro di Mario has one hand on the 2025 Parts Unlimited Talent Cup By Motul Championship number-one plate after earning his sixth win of the season on Saturday at COTA.
Di Mario led from start to finish in the seven-lap race while those around him stumbled.
It started with Di Mario’s main challenger of late having a problem right off the start as Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Hank Vossberg had an issue off the start that left him well behind. He would finish 12th, a lap behind Di Mario.
Real Steel Honda’s Ian Fraley also had early issues and dropped down to 11th by the time the race finished. Roadracing World Young Guns’ Kensei Matsudaira was another to suffer a mechanical issue, as he was out of the race on the first lap.
Team Roberts’ Kody Kopp had something go wrong that caused his Krämer to slide violently, with Kopp using all of his flat track skills to make an impressive save from crashing. He was out of the race, however.
That left Di Mario to ride to victory, 3.8 seconds ahead of Jones Honda’s Bodie Paige at the finish line.
There was more action on the final lap with MP13 Racing’s Ella Dreher and Yamaha BLU CRU Estenson Racing’s Sam Drane going at it in the fight for third. It came down to the final corner with both riders crashing out. Drane was able to remount to finish third, with Dreher taking more time and ending up eighth.
With Di Mario winning, Paige finishing second, and Drane recovering for third, a popular fourth-place finish went to Ice Barn Racing’s Solly Mervis, with the youngster turning in his best result of the season. Mervis was 1.4 seconds ahead of Bettencourt Racing’s Nathan Bettencourt, who rounded out the top-five finishers.
“I got a great start, so that’s what I wanted to do,” Di Mario said. “I was able to lead from lap one all the way to the end. So, I just can’t thank the Warhorse HSBK team enough. The bike felt amazing all weekend. I just want to thank all my sponsors. KYT, Dainese, and the team, my parents, Moto Liberty, and just everyone that’s helped me out. It is hot out there.”
Di Mario now leads Drane by 53 points, 229-176, heading into tomorrow’s race two. Paige jumps to third with 158 points, one point ahead of Vossberg. Dreher rounds out the top five in the title chase with 109 points.
Jose Antonio Rueda won the FIM Moto3 World Championship race Sunday at Misano World Circuit – Marco Simoncelli, in San Marino. Using his Pirelli-shod Red Bull Ajo KTM, the Championship point leader won the 20-lap race by just 0.113 second.
Rookie Maximo Quiles was the runner-up on his CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team KTM.
Adrian Fernandez was third, just 0.117 second behind race winner Rueda on his Leopard Racing Honda.
Joel Kelso crossed the finish line fourth on his LevelUp MTA KTM.
Rueda snatches last corner win from Quiles in Misano thriller. The Championship leader extends his lead as Fernandez earns the final podium spot.
Last lap, last corner. That’s a proper way to win a race, and that’s exactly what Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) did in Misano as the championship leader takes a giant leap towards the title ahead of our flyway tour. Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) was the rider to lose out on the win but it’s a return to the rostrum for the star rookie, as Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) earns a late P3 to stand on the podium for the first time since Argentina.
From the off, Joel Kelso (LEVEL-UP MTA) and Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) swapped positions three times in the opening three corners and coming out on top was the Australian. David Muñoz (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) made a positive start, he was P3 before he overtook Perrone for P2 going through Turn 12 and 13, as Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Rueda completed your early Moto3 top five.
By Lap 5, a front group of eight had formed that included Kelso, Perrone, Muñoz, Rueda, Fernandez, Quiles, Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) and Roulstone. Then, a mistake from Muñoz. Turn 4 saw the #64 launch a move up the inside of Perrone that wasn’t really on and once Perrone – who was running his normal racing line – closed the door, contact was made. Both ran wide, with Muñoz going gravel tracking. Perrone lost a couple of places and dropped to P6, with Muñoz down in P19 and out of victory contention.
On Lap 7, Kelso and Rueda were now 0.7s up the road and at Turn 8, Rueda struck. The championship leader led for the first time, so what did the #99 have in his pocket – and what did Kelso and the chasers have in response?
The response, in fairness, was strong – especially from Quiles, who aggressively overtook Kelso on Lap 10, before the Aussie returned the favour a lap later as the top six bunched up, with Roulstone just losing touch at this stage.
With five to go, Rueda, Perrone, Kelso and Quiles were 0.6s up the road from Fernandez and Piqueras, and this could be crucial points lost for the #36. And with three to go, it certainly looked like it was between the top four for victory in Misano.
With two left, things started to heat up. Quiles and Perrone exchanged P2 in the opening sector, with Perrone coming out on top. Rueda led, but it was all change through Turn 12 and 13 and coming out of it with the race lead baton was Quiles. Perrone went from P1 to P4, as we strapped in for a last lap that now included Fernandez and Piqueras in the podium equation.
Halfway around the final loop, Quiles led from Rueda, Perrone and Fernandez, with Kelso now P5 and Piqueras P6. It all came down to the final sector and after a mistake into Turn 13, Perrone was wide and out of victory contention. Quiles held firm into Turn 14, but Rueda set up a phenomenal last corner move. A beauty right out of the top drawer saw the #99 clinch a huge 25 points to pinch the win from Quiles, as Fernandez clinched the final podium spot ahead of Kelso and Piqueras, with Perrone 0.9s off the win in P6.
Muñoz completed a fine comeback from P19 to P7, with Ryusei Yamanaka (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI), Guido Pini (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) and Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) completed the top 10. Roulstone crossed the line in P11 after fading in the latter half of the race, as Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia), Dennis Foggia (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team), Almansa and Scott Ogden (CIP Green Power) pick up the final points on offer.
So after that, Rueda takes a 78-point lead to Japan. We’ll be ready for more in Motegi!

Barry Baltus was the runner-up on his Fantic Racing Lino Sonego Kalex.
Daniel Holgado was third on his CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team Kalex.
Diogo Moreira finished fourth on his Italtrans Racing Team Kalex.
Senna Agius took fifth on his LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt IntactGP Kalex and his teammate, championship point leader, Manuel Gonzalez finished the race sixth.
American Joe Roberts finished Sunday’s race 20th on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex.
Manuel Gonzalez leads the championship with 227 points, 39 ahead of Diogo Moreira who has 188 points. Aron Canet is third with 188 points.
Vietti masters Misano for first victory of 2025. The #13 is the tenth different winner in 2025 with a perfect home display.
Blasting off from P2 and leading by the first turn, Celestino Vietti (Beta Tools SpeedRS Team) didn’t put a foot wrong as he eased to a first win of the season in front of a packed home crowd. A sensational ride by the winner and also by the rest of the podium finishers as Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) climbed from fourth to take P2 and Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) backed up his Barcelona win with P3 at the San Marino GP.
Snatching the holeshot to Turn 1 from P2 on the grid, Vietti made a lightning start to get ahead of polesitter Daniel Holgado and Diogo Moreira and Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP). Further back and on the exit of Turn 6, Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) was forced out and that dropped him down and outside the top ten after a decent start.
By Lap 7, the battle at the front had settled down somewhat with a gap forming between Holgado in P2 and Moreira in P3. On Lap 9, Gonzalez made a lunge at Turn 14 to pass the #10 but ran wide, allowing the Brazilian to retake third but it wasn’t done yet. Gonzalez tried again at the start of Lap 11 at Turn 1 but Moreira retaliated again at Turn 4, the battle now allowing Baltus and Senna Agius (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) to form a queue for the last podium place. At Turn 11, Gonzalez launched his latest attack and this time made it stick as Moreira ran off track but then, on Lap 13, the #18 found himself under attack from Baltus and the Belgian took third.
Moreira continued to drop back as he battled with Agius from Turn 10 and down to Turn 11 on Lap 15, the Australian now breaking into the top five. Meanwhile, the fight for P1 had seen Vietti stretch his advantage to over a second for the first time in the Grand Prix, now looking on course to take a first win of 2025 and a second consecutive win at Misano. Holgado was encountering problems of his own as he was under attack from a charging Baltus, who got P2 with four to go.
In the battle behind, Agius cleared Gonzalez after a Turn 1 error for the Spaniard, also allowing Moreira to come by too. However, on the penultimate lap, a mistake by Agius at Turn 8 as he ran wide, leaving him vulnerable to Gonzalez as both of them struggled for grip in the closing stages. Moreira, now a safe fourth, ready to take vital points out of the #18’s lead.
Out front though, Vietti was perfect, resisting a late charge by the #7 to take a first win of 2025 and a third podium of the season. Baltus was a fine second for the fifth time this season, whereas Holgado was on the rostrum again in third. Moreira got to the chequered flag in fourth ahead of Agius whilst Gonzalez was sixth; only three points taken out of Manugas’ lead but that could prove vital going into the final six rounds of the season.
Injured back in Barcelona, it was a solid ride from Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) to take seventh place and not lose too many points to Gonzalez. David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) clinched eighth from 11th on the grid, ahead of Tony Arbolino (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2) and teammate Izan Guevara. After his Lap 1 excursion at Turn 6, Dixon came home in 16th.

Superbike races don’t get much better than the one that took place on Saturday in Texas, with the top three in the championship exchanging blows for all 12 laps of the 3.40-mile Circuit of The Americas.
After 12 frantic laps, the top three crossed the line with less than half a second separating race winner Josh Herrin from third-placed Bobby Fong, with Cameron Beaubier sandwiched between the two. To make things even more interesting, the top three were on different brands of motorcycles: Ducati (Herrin), BMW (Beaubier), and Yamaha (Fong).
With the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship reaching a boiling point with just four races left in the championship, including tomorrow’s race two at COTA, only 18 points separate the top three in the chase for the crown.
Of the three, Herrin needed the win the most as he came into the COTA round trailing Fong by 27 points. That deficit is now down to 18. With his second-place finish today, Beaubier also gained on Fong. The five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion is now just 13 points behind.
Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Herrin did most of the leading. Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Beaubier had a few shots at leading, but couldn’t make it stick, and Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing’s Fong never led, but was always in earshot of whoever was leading.
It came down to the final couple of corners with Fong trying a desperation pass that didn’t work on Beaubier, who also made a last-ditch effort that saw him run off track, but he still had enough of a gap to beat Fong for second – by .031 of a second.
Late in the race it was Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Richie Escalante who was making the most noise as he was fourth and making inroads to the top three at a clip of half a second a lap. On the final lap, however, it all came apart as Escalante crashed out.
That left Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim in fourth place, some four seconds ahead of Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Sean Dylan Kelly.
Gillim’s teammate JD Beach ended up sixth, which also gave him the victory and the Superbike Cup Championship – for those racing Stock 1000-spec motorcycles in the Superbike class.
FLOLAW’s Benjamin Smith was seventh with Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates eighth. Aftercare Scheibe Racing’s Danilo Lewis was ninth with Fong’s teammate Jake Gagne remounting and rounding out the top 10. Gagne was battling in the lead group when he crashed on the fifth lap.
Superbike Unlimited Racing’s Max Stauffer was 11th, with the Australian making his MotoAmerica debut this weekend at COTA.

Bobby Fong – Third Place
“I hate to do stuff like that, really,” Fong said of his desperation attempt at passing Beaubier. “He’s a good buddy of mine. I know he’s going to return the favor soon. It does suck, but I had to go for it. I knew Richie (Escalante) was coming behind me. That’s the thing. I didn’t know how close he was. I didn’t know he crashed. I could see on my pit board that he was literally catching us half a second a lap. So, I’m like, ‘I need to go.’ But I know once I get in a battle with them it’s going to slow the overall pace up, and then it will be four dudes fighting for the win. So, I didn’t really know what to do. But I knew I had to do something at the last two turns because I knew Richie was going to go for the podium for sure. But these two dudes rode great. I’m happy to be close to them at this track for sure. It was a long, hot one. I know they’re injured. I’m looking forward to New Jersey, for sure.”
Cameron Beaubier – Second Place
“Honestly, I was riding behind (Josh) Herrin and I felt like I had a little pace, but then when I did get up front I was starting to push the front around and slide quite a bit. I think the track was just hot and greasy. Honestly, bummed with the second (place). We need to make some points up. At least we made a couple back on Bob (Fong). Josh (Herrin) rode a great race. I tried to do something kind of last minute in the last corner and he scraped me up, which was a good move. I’m glad we’ve got tomorrow to try again. Getting to the wrist thing, I’ve had a pretty bad week. Crashed my bicycle, like I told you, on Saturday last week. Was trying to keep it quiet, but you can’t keep much quiet around the pits. I’m just really happy with my team. Big thanks to them for getting me comfortable on the bike. We had to change the seating position up and the bars a little bit just to get me through the weekend. Honestly, I’m happy that I’m even racing because Tuesday was a different story. I was kind of scratching my head if I’d be able to ride or not. Thanks to Dr. Price for helping me out this weekend also. Also Dr. Brian. I said some stuff to him, and he got in touch with Dr. Price and told me what I needed to do for the weekend, so thanks to those guys. On to tomorrow.”
Josh Herrin – Winner
“I told my guys, best-case scenario, obviously is Cam (Beaubier) getting second and Bobby (Fong) getting third because it allows me to gain some points on Bobby. I was in a position this year that was different than a lot of times. I guess I was in it last year too, but I let it get to me a little bit too much this year. Just sometimes where I could have taken some risk to try to get a win, I just settled instead. Not to say I would have got the win, but I would have tried a little bit harder. But it was just kind of like, ‘We’re safe.’ I think it just got to my head, which is weird because it hasn’t in the past. I don’t know. I’m just using that. I’m hoping that’s what it was, because going into this weekend, I just wanted to think about trying to get wins again and not care about the championship and kind of play into that underdog role and just try to attack. Just try to have fun in practice, qualifying, race. Just have fun and go out there, screw around. It seemed to work. Today we made a big gamble, and we went with the (Dunlop) R7, which obviously we won but it was super risky. In that race, obviously, you know that the pace was not the best. I was just trying to hold them off as much as I could. I honestly thought they were going to come by and just fly by. When Cam came by, I just threw the kitchen sink at him to try to get it and was able to get that lap time. I think tomorrow the R5 will help us out a little bit and especially with how greasy it is. So, it was a crazy last couple weeks. I was pretty down in the dumps, like I talked to you about. I knew that I threw it away, because all I needed to do was just go get some points on the weekends where I wasn’t feeling like I could get a win, and instead I just went out and pushed harder than maybe I should have and just made some mistakes. Just trying to claw my way back as much as I can and, hopefully, we can be in it at the end.”
More, from a news release issued by MotoAmerica:

Fast on Friday, a new lap record and pole position on Saturday morning, and a runaway lights-to-flag victory on Saturday afternoon. So far, it’s not a bad weekend to be Mathew Scholtz.
Strack Racing’s Scholtz, who earlier in the day broke Garrett Gerloff’s Supersport lap record that had stood since 2016, led every lap of Saturday’s race at Circuit of The Americas, crossing the finish line a tick over 10 seconds ahead of his nearest pursuer.
The early laps saw the top four together with Scholtz always leading, and with Celtic/Economy Lube + Tire/Warhorse HSBK Ducati’s Cameron Petersen, Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL’s PJ Jacobsen and his Strack Racing teammate Blake Davis giving chase.
The four ran in formation for the first five laps, but the foursome was broken up when Petersen had a huge highside on the exit of the left-hander that leads to the long backstraight. The crash cost Davis, as well, as he had to take evasive action and lost his hold on third place to Jacobsen.
Davis, however, didn’t give up, and the battle for second place turned into a good one as Jacobsen hit a false neutral, ran wide, and allowed Davis to catch up. From there it was a battle to the end between the two, with Davis beating Jacobsen by a scant .194 of a second.
Scholtz, meanwhile, crossed the finish line with some 10 seconds in hand, happy to have won his eighth Motovation Supersport race of the year, and also pleased that his teammate Davis took valuable points away from Jacobsen in the title chase.
Behind the top three came a battle for fourth between Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott and Jacobsen’s teammate Kayla Yaakov. Despite running off the track on two occasions, Scott was able to beat Yaakov to the line by .106 of a second.
With his win and Jacobsen’s third-place finish, Scholtz now leads the New Yorker by 16 points, 308-292. Davis is third with 230 points.
‘We’ve kind of seen throughout the season that if I have a bit of a gap in the first practice on Friday, then I’m able to kind of keep that pace going,” Scholtz said. “But it just seemed like every single session we went out there, everyone picked up massive time. Not just .2, .3. It was like .6, .7. It was one of those kinds of tracks. Honestly, in today’s race, I thought that I would have had the pace, and I would have been gone. By lap five or six, it was still G3 or G4 and I kind of knew that these guys were there. I wasn’t panicking, but I was like, ‘I’m going to have to kind of pick it up.’ I did a 12.5 and a 12.6 back-to-back, and I felt like I had one or two tenths left. Then one lap across the line and it was plus two or three seconds. So, I kind of just chilled in the high 12s, low 13s, and just kind of eked out the gap a little bit. Overall, the bike has been working great. COTA has always been a really good circuit for me. For once when I won, PJ (Jacobsen) wasn’t second. It seems like he’s been doing that most of the season. So, it was nice to kind of get those extra points. Overall, I know that these boys are coming in the second race tomorrow, so I’m going to have to pick up something.”
Mission King Of The Baggers – Gillim’s Day, Wyman’s Year
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Hayden Gillim was nothing short of untouchable in Saturday’s Mission King Of The Baggers race one. Gillim, who dominated the Mission King Of The Baggers Challenge on Saturday morning, led the race that really counted on Saturday afternoon from start to finish.
While Gillim scored his second win in what has been a rough season for the Kentuckian, his win was overshadowed by Kyle Wyman’s fourth-place finish that resulted in him taking the 2025 Mission King Of The Baggers Championship – his second title in the class.
So, is 2025 the best year of Wyman’s life?
“By far,” Wyman said. “Hannah (his wife) and I welcomed our first child. He’s five weeks old. He’s here this weekend. KWR (Kyle Wyman Racing)… we won the Super Hooligan title at Mid-Ohio, and now we have the King Of The Baggers Championship. So, it’s definitely a dream year. It’s hard to dream up anything better than that.
With Gillim out front, the final few laps saw a battle for second between S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Loris Baz and RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Rocco Landers. At the finish line, it was Baz getting the nod over Landers by .111 of a second.
With Wyman fourth, fifth and sixth went to his teammates Bradley Smith and James Rispoli, respectively.
Baz’s teammate Troy Herfoss gutted it out, with the Australian suffering with an injured shoulder and cracked pelvis to finish seventh.
With three races left to run, Wyman has an insurmountable points lead of 90 over Baz, 240-150. Herfoss holds on to third with 133 points.
Stock 1000 – Beach Stays Alive In Title Chase After Thriller
A thrilling Stock 1000 race went to Real Steel Honda’s JD Beach after a race-long dogfight with OrangeCat Racing’s Jayson Uribe that went to the last corner on the final lap. The win also gave Beach another day of life in the championship fight as points leader Andrew Lee and his OrangeCat Racing BMW finished fourth.
Lee now leads Beach by 14 points with only tomorrow’s race at Circuit of The Americas remaining in the Stock 1000 Championship, 176-162. Uribe is third with 154 points.
The margin of victory was .590 of a second, but it was actually much closer than that as Beach was on the inside going into the final corner and Uribe ended up in no-man’s land on the exit while Beach wheelied to victory. The pair were glued together for the majority of the race, with Uribe doing most of the leading.
Third place went to Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates by 3.2 seconds over Lee, who is obviously thinking about the championship at this point.
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki’s Rocco Landers was 2.3 seconds behind Lee and some 13 seconds ahead of BPR Racing Yamaha’s Bryce Kornbau, who emerged from a pack of five riders to finish sixth.
Kornbau’s teammate Deion Campbell was seventh, with Castrol/Lamkin Racing’s Nolan Lamkin, Edge Racing’s Jason Waters, and PDR Motorsports’ Diego Perez rounding out the top 10 finishers.
“That was a great race,” Beach said. “Jayson (Uribe) was riding phenomenal. It was all I could do to stay with him. We were just going back and forth. He had areas on the track where he was stronger and there were areas where I was stronger. I was a little desperate the last lap, trying to do the passes and just kind of making them stick. The last two turns, it was just good racing. I gave Jayson a few (taps to the head) to think about that. But honestly, I would have done the same thing. It was just the heat of the moment. But he races clean every time we go out on track, and I love racing with him. I’ve got nothing against him or the team. It was just a great race. I’ve got to thank my American Honda bike. It was a good day, but it’s going to be a fight tomorrow. We’re still in it. We’ve still got a long shot. I’m going to get hydrated, go out there and race Superbikes, and these guys better be ready for tomorrow.”
Parts Unlimited Talent Cup By Motul – Super Di Mario
Warhorse Ducati/American Racing’s Alessandro di Mario has one hand on the 2025 Parts Unlimited Talent Cup By Motul Championship number-one plate after earning his sixth win of the season on Saturday at COTA.
Di Mario led from start to finish in the seven-lap race while those around him stumbled.
It started with Di Mario’s main challenger of late having a problem right off the start as Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Hank Vossberg had an issue off the start that left him well behind. He would finish 12th, a lap behind Di Mario.
Real Steel Honda’s Ian Fraley also had early issues and dropped down to 11th by the time the race finished. Roadracing World Young Guns’ Kensei Matsudaira was another to suffer a mechanical issue, as he was out of the race on the first lap.
Team Roberts’ Kody Kopp had something go wrong that caused his Krämer to slide violently, with Kopp using all of his flat track skills to make an impressive save from crashing. He was out of the race, however.
That left Di Mario to ride to victory, 3.8 seconds ahead of Jones Honda’s Bodie Paige at the finish line.
There was more action on the final lap with MP13 Racing’s Ella Dreher and Yamaha BLU CRU Estenson Racing’s Sam Drane going at it in the fight for third. It came down to the final corner with both riders crashing out. Drane was able to remount to finish third, with Dreher taking more time and ending up eighth.
With Di Mario winning, Paige finishing second, and Drane recovering for third, a popular fourth-place finish went to Ice Barn Racing’s Solly Mervis, with the youngster turning in his best result of the season. Mervis was 1.4 seconds ahead of Bettencourt Racing’s Nathan Bettencourt, who rounded out the top-five finishers.
“I got a great start, so that’s what I wanted to do,” Di Mario said. “I was able to lead from lap one all the way to the end. So, I just can’t thank the Warhorse HSBK team enough. The bike felt amazing all weekend. I just want to thank all my sponsors. KYT, Dainese, and the team, my parents, Moto Liberty, and just everyone that’s helped me out. It is hot out there.”
Di Mario now leads Drane by 53 points, 229-176, heading into tomorrow’s race two. Paige jumps to third with 158 points, one point ahead of Vossberg. Dreher rounds out the top five in the title chase with 109 points.
Misano World Circuit - Marco Simoncelli. Photo courtesy Michelin.
Jose Antonio Rueda won the FIM Moto3 World Championship race Sunday at Misano World Circuit – Marco Simoncelli, in San Marino. Using his Pirelli-shod Red Bull Ajo KTM, the Championship point leader won the 20-lap race by just 0.113 second.
Rookie Maximo Quiles was the runner-up on his CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team KTM.
Adrian Fernandez was third, just 0.117 second behind race winner Rueda on his Leopard Racing Honda.
Joel Kelso crossed the finish line fourth on his LevelUp MTA KTM.
Rueda snatches last corner win from Quiles in Misano thriller. The Championship leader extends his lead as Fernandez earns the final podium spot.
Last lap, last corner. That’s a proper way to win a race, and that’s exactly what Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) did in Misano as the championship leader takes a giant leap towards the title ahead of our flyway tour. Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) was the rider to lose out on the win but it’s a return to the rostrum for the star rookie, as Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) earns a late P3 to stand on the podium for the first time since Argentina.
From the off, Joel Kelso (LEVEL-UP MTA) and Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) swapped positions three times in the opening three corners and coming out on top was the Australian. David Muñoz (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) made a positive start, he was P3 before he overtook Perrone for P2 going through Turn 12 and 13, as Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Rueda completed your early Moto3 top five.
By Lap 5, a front group of eight had formed that included Kelso, Perrone, Muñoz, Rueda, Fernandez, Quiles, Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) and Roulstone. Then, a mistake from Muñoz. Turn 4 saw the #64 launch a move up the inside of Perrone that wasn’t really on and once Perrone – who was running his normal racing line – closed the door, contact was made. Both ran wide, with Muñoz going gravel tracking. Perrone lost a couple of places and dropped to P6, with Muñoz down in P19 and out of victory contention.
On Lap 7, Kelso and Rueda were now 0.7s up the road and at Turn 8, Rueda struck. The championship leader led for the first time, so what did the #99 have in his pocket – and what did Kelso and the chasers have in response?
The response, in fairness, was strong – especially from Quiles, who aggressively overtook Kelso on Lap 10, before the Aussie returned the favour a lap later as the top six bunched up, with Roulstone just losing touch at this stage.
With five to go, Rueda, Perrone, Kelso and Quiles were 0.6s up the road from Fernandez and Piqueras, and this could be crucial points lost for the #36. And with three to go, it certainly looked like it was between the top four for victory in Misano.
With two left, things started to heat up. Quiles and Perrone exchanged P2 in the opening sector, with Perrone coming out on top. Rueda led, but it was all change through Turn 12 and 13 and coming out of it with the race lead baton was Quiles. Perrone went from P1 to P4, as we strapped in for a last lap that now included Fernandez and Piqueras in the podium equation.
Halfway around the final loop, Quiles led from Rueda, Perrone and Fernandez, with Kelso now P5 and Piqueras P6. It all came down to the final sector and after a mistake into Turn 13, Perrone was wide and out of victory contention. Quiles held firm into Turn 14, but Rueda set up a phenomenal last corner move. A beauty right out of the top drawer saw the #99 clinch a huge 25 points to pinch the win from Quiles, as Fernandez clinched the final podium spot ahead of Kelso and Piqueras, with Perrone 0.9s off the win in P6.
Muñoz completed a fine comeback from P19 to P7, with Ryusei Yamanaka (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI), Guido Pini (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) and Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) completed the top 10. Roulstone crossed the line in P11 after fading in the latter half of the race, as Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia), Dennis Foggia (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team), Almansa and Scott Ogden (CIP Green Power) pick up the final points on offer.
So after that, Rueda takes a 78-point lead to Japan. We’ll be ready for more in Motegi!

regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
