Wow, talk about a catastrophe averted. Goes to show the skill of these racers. And oh yah, that explanation took 15 mins or so and the real world thoughts and actions took 4-5 seconds. Kudos to you Cameron and Josh and the skills you exhibited.
I know you guys ran out of time for the podium interviews as well as any interview from Josh. I sure wish there was an interview recording, at least of the final podium, finishers, on the MotoAmerica Live+ app for those of us that subscribe. Maybe add that later or think about that in the future? Otherwise, I am enjoying the app tremendously.
Thanks for the follow up. I saw an excerpt of you and I had feeling you were racing at a World GP level by sliding the bike. You raced even when under pressure and trying to get the bike to work together with those guys. Alot happens at your level. I would of pooped in my pants. Im glad all of you are here!!! Thanks for the feed back 🙏. Al
I just wanted you to win. And that sounds selfish as fuck. You did a really good job there’s another race And you are alive. My asshole took a bite out of my chair. I thought it was going to be bad. I turned away. Blessings from my Family to yours. Loyal Texas Fan
This race was one of the most awesome races I have seen in years. I am an old school guy and I was pulling for you the entire race. It was so impressive watching all four of you guys staying mostly clean till the end. I will be pulling for you all season. If people are questioning your skills, well, they can eat a bag! You are amazing, do what you do.
I don’t see any other riders interact with their fans like you do! That was an awesome weekend of races and congrats on the win! I will keep watching and routing for you!
Josh Hayes use to back in the day. He would actually sit out front to eat lunch so he could talk to people. Can't believe he is 48 and still racing. Josh Herrin has no clue who I am. However, I've watched him since he first year in professional racing 18 years ago back in the AMA days.
I was dying after the race hoping they’d interview you about the incident. So lucky that you and Cam B had the awareness to make moves and not collide. Killer race, seriously an all time classic. I’ll be telling my kids about this one in 20years. Thanks for the insight on what went down from your perspective. Awesome to hear directly from you. Such a wild moment there. And I know I sound like a broken record, but STOP READING ThE COMMENTS lol. You don’t need them. On to the next, go get ‘em #2
Man I raced with you guys at this track and if someone haven't done this corner you just can't understand the size of the "oh shit" moment you got there. I was far from those laptime but I was following JD Beach on that section to dile this tricky corner in and the back tire was bursting in smoke through this corner while we are tucked in and pinned at 100% throttle, sitting at an angle on a rocket ship. It's by far the craziest corner I did in my racing career. You can't see it on TV but it's blind and there is really 1 good line, if you go side to side there and the rider on the inside push you wide, in my understanding you're done and run wide into that wall that is really way to close by. I don't know how you managed to save that and I'm really grateful that you did cause that would have been a serious disaster... Plus the other saves after, you seriously showed some extreme skills 🤘
Thanks for clearing it up Josh. MotoAmerica dropped the ball not getting you on for an interview after the race. So glad you all got through safely. Someone up there was definitely looking after you!
You getting so close to the edge of the track got my hands on top of my head, then nearly missing Gagne and Beaubier got me off my seat. Happy you and everyone else made it out.
Great explanation. I watched the race live and assumed the speed wobble caused an issue with positioning of entering the corner. This explains how exceptional you are. Along with luck God has given you an amazing gift of talent. I have some racing experience and there is a lot more that's involved that the average rider doesn't know. I've actually met you and been on the track with you at Daytona and Jennings. Been watching you for about 13 years. Your one of my favorites to watch. Congratulations on Daytona 200 win this year!
50 years on motorcycles. Today years old becoming one of your biggest fans. Can hear the growth and determination in your voice, brother. I'm pullin' for ya, bruh. Let's get it!
This was awesome Josh. Roger Hayden was explaining that corner and it sounds nuts even when you're all by yourself. Can't imagine how crazy making contact with another bike there must be. I'm glad everyone is OK. Awesome race! Thanks!
I saw this race when it first aired, and was absolutely AMAZED by the hair-width narrow escape. I couldn't believe what my eyes had seen. At first I thought it was just a depth perception truck on my eyes and that there had to have been more space between Gagne and Beaubier, so I kept rewinding and replaying it over and over, and watching it in slow motion. I personally thought it was very apparent that something had happened to your bike right before (the obvious wobble) and that you looked like you couldn't brake. It happens so fast, it's hard to decipher even when rewatching it. I was so thankful that the perfect timing of the Good Lord shining his blessing on you all squeezed you right through the space that didn't even seem to be there. I enjoyed your recap, and to heck with all those know-it-all experts out there giving their amateur commentary.
This is awesome. So glad you took the time to go over this moment by moment. Anyone who's been in similar situations with headshake pushing the pistons back knows EXACTLY what you're talking about. And has had the same internal conversations in the moment. It's exciting to say the least, and when you don't crash it's a great feeling. Your skill and Cameron's skill in picking it up as you slid by is awe inspiring. I met you in January of 2022 at Daytona during the AHRMA races, my garage was 4 or 5 doors down from you and Ducati. Chatting briefly and watching you on track was great, as a successful business owner I know what it takes to succeed at anything and it's clear that you have it and that you're a good person as well. Eff all of the haters and keyboard jockeys keep doing your thing and best of luck.
Josh, thanks for your comments! It's rare to see a top-level get on TH-cam to explain a race. Don't let couch warriors get the best of you. They have no idea how to ride that fast, let alone compete at your level. This season is going to be awesome watching you compete. Give em hell Josh!!!
That was such an awesome breakdown and fun video. People on their couches are assholes and idiots. I’ve been watching racing for many years and a spectator can’t possibly know that’s what happened and was going in at lightning speed. So glad all of you are safe. Excited to see you at Ridge!
That was a heck of a race! Thank you for taking the time to walk us through what happened... the broadcast was rushed at the end and, even thought I watched it several times, I wasn't sure what I was seeing. Good luck this year and I hope to see you guys at Road America.
Great video Josh and thanks for respecting the fan base enough to put this out. I was in the crowd and can tell you the place was going nuts. You guys put on a great show!
Thanks for your take on this Josh. You're a class act, expectingng great battles this year with you on the V4R and Cam on the M1000RR giving Gagne a hard time. This looks to be the most competitive season in years.
@Josh Herrin Great vid Josh. When I was watching that, I couldn't believe my eyes! We've heard commentators use the expression "couldn't fit a piece of paper between them", this is the only time I've ever seen that actually be the case. Cam did a great job adjusting on the fly, great reflexes, he had no time to consciously make a decision there, pure rider instinct, a lot like what you describe you are doing there, no, exactly like what your doing there. So many people don't really understand the minutiae of the physics of racing, but think they know what it feels like to ride like that. They really have no clue what it really takes to race, wether it is 2 wheels or 4. Racing at a high level is being able to make split second decisions that are the right ones, and the only way to be able to do that is by feel. Your body is able to "read" the physics and through experience your brain is able to take that "reading" and turn it into the art of racing. Only those who have this skill understand it. The consequences of making a wrong decision is what tunes the mind to a razor sharp instrument. That is the art of racing. Every rider on that grid has it, some more than others, and some are at different stages of honing the craft. That's why even the last place guy deserves to be admired for his skill and commitment. Thanks for all the years of great racing we get to watch Josh. You look good this year and the bike looks like it is in tune with you. Not sure about the tires yet, I've not heard much rider feedback, but one thing for sure- that was an awesome race!! You got a good shot at a championship Josh, you have the bike, the skill, now grab the confidence to go get it. Jake and Cam are tough competition, but if you mix it up with them and ride smart, you got a good shot this year. Good luck bro!
And this is why i love this guy, setting the record straight for the masses. i knew something was wrong once the wing flew off, then the head-shake moment solidified it for me. KEEP IT UP HOMIE, plenty support out here for you!
I’ve been on motorcycles for 50 years and you’re right. It was a combination of the awesome skills that you and Cam possess and a good deal of luck that kept you and the other guys from having parts bin motorcycles and possibly needing some new parts for your bodies as well. Been a fan of you since your AMA SuperSport days. This past weekend will go down as the best race weekend ever in MotoAmerica history. I’m praying that MotoAmerica continues to grow so that you guys can make the money you deserve. Also so we can get more racers on the world stage and hopefully winning! 🇺🇸
Hey Josh. Met you at San Diego airport in July '22. You're a class act and you showed it that day at the airport and everyday on the track. We all held our breath during that incident on Sunday. Truly a miracle everybody stayed on their seat. Keep doing what you do. It's obviously working. Congrats on your Daytona 200 win. My wife and I were there. All time exciting race for the superbike class for sure, as long as everybody goes home, it's a great race. Take care.
Awesome race Josh! It was a great time and appreciate your sincerity in explaining what happened. Glad you made it through that gap between Jake & Cam! I watched it in the stream and didn’t realize it was so close until you went through the replay.
@Josh Herrin, Hey Josh, being Aussie seeing this great race, mate, no need to prove yourself! Any racer/track day junky knows you knock your pads in, you got no brakes🤙 You rode 2 brilliant races over on the weekend! The fact that you thanked the Ducati squad for providing the technical support is a champion right there! Your skill not hitting the riders cannot be underestimated! You are a fantastic athlete & a champion ⭐️🚀
I was one of those spectators right in front of where this happened. We all tensed up when it did. Couldn't believe what happened either because it look like it was going to be one nasty wreck. That was one of the best, most memorable races of all time. Us fans weren't expecting it to be that awesome. You four were battling it out the whole entire race. I was there for the King of Baggers race but that race made me a fan of supersports or whatever they are called. Funny how this video showed up in my TH-cam suggestions. (Will be looking forward to attending more races.)
What a great video, Josh, that was totally amazing. And you broke it down perfectly so people totally understand what happened and how amazing you are of a rider to survive that. Good luck this season.
I raced AMA Pro 1990-1995. Many of the very fastest guys were so egotistical, they didn't know how to be honest because they were afraid to be vulnerable. Thank you for changing that.
I have never seen such a detailed description but the affected person before. Awesome job getting in front of this like you did. I want to see this racing all year, between each of you. Keep it up Sir. Great Job!
Love this video and breakdown. I talked to you at the podium on Friday while watching qualifying on the big screen and was asking about this channel if you remember. Definitely the best racing I’ve seen in years on SBK. Was really happy to see you up there in the mix and look forward to seeing you battle those guys some more this season. Respect
Appreciate the time you took to make this. Gods Grace saved you guys and you being in this sort of profession at your level plays a crucial role as well. 👊💪🤙
Top level racing by top level racers making decisions by the millisecond. Nobody's out there doing anything intentionally malicious so nothing to apologize for. Kinda crappy you gotta post a walkthrough video explaining that, but with the negativity that follows you I guess that's not surprising. You bring an attitude and presence to the paddock that intimidates, challenges as well as elevates your competitors. As a fan of motorcycle racing wanting US roadracing to be what it once was, I am excited to watch you, Cam B./P., Scholtz, Gagne (+ others) mix it up each round. I agree, this was one of the best MA or AMA Superbike races I've seen in a long time. Can't wait for the next round!
Three champions in a knockdown drag out epic battle…wow! Listening to many post race interviews with Cameron over the years he had the number 1 plate, he always gives a shout out to “the Man upstairs”. I believe He had something to do with the way you rocketed through that tiny gap between Cam and Jake without a crash, not to mention the epic save you made after that . Great job. Thanks for your transparency and a great explanation, frame by frame as to what happened.
I recognize that you guys put your lives on the line for our entertainment. Thank you for your detailed analysis. I pray that you all come out safe at the end of each race day and keep the competition intense but friendly.
Josh, it was awesome to finally meet you at the Warhorse tent after following you for 5 years (all the time I've been watching MotoAmerica)! Man, that was an exciting race and I was pulling for ya so hard! Couldn't believe that all happening right on the last lap. So so glad you stayed on the pavement, there is NO runoff right there and with the speeds you were doing... sheesh. Thanks for unpacking all this! I learned a lot from this, and that tip about the headshake may come in handy for me on the track down the road! I was so pissed that MotoAmerica pulled the cameras when you pulled over and Cam was coming up to you. I guess they thought you were about to throw down haha. Glad to hear ya'll smoothed things over. P.S. even if you WERE flaming mad, I wouldn't have blamed you. You just stared death in the face because of someone else's actions and for all you knew at the moment it was Cam just trying to play defense and box you out. there was no way you saw or knew that he slipped his front until he communicated with you. so yeah, keep doing you, keep being passionate, keep up the hard work. Last year was incredible to watch on the V2, I think this year is your year again on the V4R! This was some stellar, smart racing. P.S.S. Like I said at the tent, definitely looking forward to more street riding content! If wheelies on race bikes are frowned upon, any chance of throwing them up on a Hypermotard or Monster? The bikes Ducati markets as hooligan bikes themselves? Just a thought I had after... Take care and keep shredding! - Jason
Hey Josh, I hope you actually get to read this comment. It’s the best racing story I have ever heard. I absolutely love it, you gave your step by step of the entire race situation. As a former AFM Racer, I know how racing incidents go And you always just try to protect yourself and others always on two wheels. I am also a former Kevin Schwantz graduate who had a chance to sit next to him at dinner has he shared stories of 😮racing and gave so many descriptives that only riders and racers know about. In this video u did the same and I think ur awesome for it and this story you just shared are like stories that Kevin Swantz shared about racing incidents…. Racing is all about pushing hard…. Love the detail and step-by-step process. I’m glad you made it through happy for your podium on Saturday and I can’t wait to see you continue racing throughout the season this year… may be in the off-season. Once I get my shit together I could hire you for a coaching session (buttonwillow,thill)once I get my gsxr back up and running…. Much luck this season and stay healthy ….!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Fantastic race Josh. The G-forces at 185+ Mph are immense and I think the wings played a role for Cam and yourself in what happened. Great save, great responses and looking forward to more duels.
Prob the best all out race I have seen in a long time. And the decisions you make in the matter of a couple of seconds, from trying to win, to not hurting the other riders, is absolutely insane! Can't wait until the next 1!
When I was watching the race in real time I thought the reason you blew the corner was due to the winglet which flew off from the impact with Cameron. I missed the head shake because it was the best race I've seen in years from any two wheeled categories. Glad you're not hurt or anyone else for that matter. It could've been much worst as shown by Michele Pirro at Mugello when he had head shake before braking for turn one in 2018.
Thank you so much for the in depth explanation of this incident. I was really pulling for you in this race and, being a non-racer, had no idea what happened. Not knowing any of you to any extent personally, I was hoping it was not a dick move to win the race by Beaubier. I'm so happy it wasn't as I have watched superbike for years and respect all of you for you constant professionalism and top notch races. This was, no doubt, the best race I have seen since I've been watching superbikes. I watch multiple venues of superbikes also and this race was awesome! Sometimes you get a couple guys at the end battling it out but, wow, having 4 riders right there with 3 of you switching leads and making incredible passes. What a race! You are a true professional for making this video and best of luck on the season. If this weekend was any indication, it's gonna be a great year of competition.
Wish that more riders would be this open! It was a racing incident and like you said, all of you guys were lucky to make it out unscathed & scoring points. Good on you for posting your side of the story.
Thx Josh for all the years of racing, all you guys are riding on the raged edge and it was amazing to see you all exit the kink still on 2 wheels. Truly a professional display of riding skill and racecraft by all. When I have good day of riding my Pikes Peak and think I know how to ride it near it's limit after nearly 60 yrs and couple 100k miles of dirt and street experience I realize I'm just scratching the surface, you guys are on a another planet. Best of luck with Championship and career.
Josh! Thank you for taking time to reach out to fans and viewers of this INCREDIBLE race! I don't think people who actually watch and understand racing feel you did a single thing wrong to be receiving the hate you said you're getting. It was obvious that something happened with Cam at the kink, but the camera transition made it hard to see exactly what. The rest was holding on for dear life. I'm glad you made the video because the broadcast never showed anyone talking about it. However, I don't feel like you have any reason you need to explain your actions. Man, I'm glad you're safe, and it's great to see that fire back in you like the old days. Bring it to them, Josh!
I've watched the AMA since the mid 90s and that's the best race I've seen in the top class. The way you desccribed it is exactly whatit looked like except the front end tuck was't visible from cameras. I thnk the four of you will be talking about "that race at Atlanta in 2023" when you're old men. The promoters can thank you because I'll be watching every single race this season now, as will a lot of other people. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for taking the time to explain in detail. I rewatched this part of the last lap a bunch of times as it happened and was just amazed you made it past the contact and made it through the kink (knee down, in the marbles at 180+ mph)
Never been a huge fan, but ive also never been a doubter. You have incredible talent and i low key knew you would be a menace on that V4R. Never thought this was anything malicous either. I kinda figured it was a racing incident and the breakdown just confirmed that. Thank you for giving us hardcore racing like we have been wanting. Keep it up at Barber man.
Hey Josh--Great race man! From my 18 years of experience watching races on my couch I have to say this was the best motorcycle race of 2023 so far. Binder's sprint race win was probably number 2. Glad to see you and all the other veterans back at it again. I have a feeling this season will bring us more exciting racing than MotoGP and WSBK. Tell MotoAmerica to give the corner workers better training or more fire extinguishers to deal with fires or not to show the part where the corner workers are in danger. I don't want their insurance to go up or they might not have the budget to keep posting these awesome races on YT! Cant wait to see you on the podium this season as you get that Ducati dialed in!
Insane how much you were processing in such a short period of time. That could have been a terrible incident and your quick thinking and reactions prevented that. Can’t wait to see everyone racing at Barber next month.
Anyone who has ever experienced the effects of a head shake on (or off) the track know exactly what happened there. You did your level best to make the best of the situation without going down and taking anyone else out. Good on you, and I'm glad to see all of you got through that section of track unscathed.
@@raphaellacasse-linteau I had it happen on the long strait over the hill at Road America, plenty of times. But one memorable event there was the head shake then no brakes, then when I got them back the front tire started bouncing like a basketball into Turn 1. I went nearly off the track wide trying to get the thing calmed down before being able to tip in.
Josh, you are my favorite rider. I’m glad you took the time to share the video and explained what happened in detail. It really was the best superbike race in many years.
Josh, I have watched you race on the TV screen at home for at least 15 years. I can not express how much more respect I have for you now. I have never been a fan of yours, always felt like you all about only yourself. I am so very thankful that you took the time to post this. I have gained so, so, much more respect for you now. You by doing this has turned me into a fan of yours now. Thank You sir, looking forward watching all season long now.
Howdy Josh, thanks for the explanation in the video. Didn't have a chance to catch the race but I'm glad you (and the other guys) are all ok. I appreciate the perspective from you as there is no other way to get understand. Good luck the rest of the season!
I hope you keep this form up, Josh! This was like my 3rd or 4th race I've been able to watch live, as the races are oftentimes too late here. It was great seeing you able to fight with Cameron and Gagne and keep their pace. It was one of the greatest races I'd ever seen in bike racing, and even car racing. Keep it up, I hope you win a race!
As Always, Thank You for being You Josh!!! The level of Character, and behind the scenes training on perfecting your craft for situations such as the one you just walked us through !! Can’t begin to imagine what it takes to be at your level of competition, complete, with the skill set to remain focused and not fall apart when the unthinkable happens 🤙🏼
The saves you made to get yourself and your fellow competitors through that one without anyone getting hurt shows what an incredible talent you are on a motorcycle!! To the smack talkers, what bike were you on again, must have missed you during the race??? Overall, probably the best race I've seen in MA.
Cam's reaction time was super human to miss you! Looks like he is going to be a tough competitor this year. And you were right there with him. Good luck! Can't wait to see more racing like that!
I must admit that I am not a big Josh Herrin fan. Some of the things you do and say can rub people the wrong way, it is what it is. But I have to give you major respect for making this video and stepping up after the race on Sunday. I am glad that all the athletes involved were able to bring it home without incident or injury. Even after 40+ years of watching racing I am still amazed by the level of skill and talent displayed by these riders. After years of seeing one guy take off into the distance it will be great to see some close racing at the front of MotoAmerica again. I have been a fan since the days when American racers ruled the world (Roberts, Spencer, Lawson, Rainey, Schwantz). It would be great to see those days return again! Good luck, God bless.
I've watched this race a few times now! I haven't been this excited about a MotoAmerica race in years!! Josh, you've never been my favorite racer, but your talent, skill, and expertise on a superbike is undeniable and I respect the hell out of you bud! As a Ducati fan, I'm super happy to see you on the V4R! You definitely had a few pucker moments there but, the end result is everyone came out ok and you still collected valuable points this weekend! Can't wait for Barber next month!!!!!!
Thanks for the awesome breakdown, and explanation. There's no way to figure all that out by just watching. Well done Josh! I would definitely be thanking your "Guardian Angel" at this point! Best of luck this year!
Glad no one was hurt. Thought this was going to end bad when I saw your front right aero fly off. You put on one hell of a race. Don’t let the haters get to you.
Really enjoyed watching you race this weekend. And i'm glad you put this vid out - its so much more interesting to hear what you're actually thinking about in those moments than what some people read into it.
Hey man, I'm completely new to the world of motorcycle racing as I just got into it about a week ago. Was rooting for you while watching a replay of the Daytona 200 (first time I'd seen it, so I had no idea who won) when they penalized you 7 positions on the restart. Became a fan of yours as I watched you fight through that and win it. Awesome stuff man.
What a race, thanks for doing the full frame-by-frame. Now that you point out the headshake it all makes sense. I can't imagine coming into a turn at those speeds with no front brake feel. Can't wait to be there for the race at Laguna!
Awesome race Josh! I really love that you took the time to explain what was going on and the situation from your POV. This is your year mane!!!! I’ll see you at the track!!
As a new viewer it was an awesome race and glad to see everyone make it out as you all did. In the heat of the moment split decisions are extremely difficult so screw those that spread hate when they have no idea what their saying. At the end of the day they are looking for attention and rather than commenting back videos like this I think are the best response. Good luck this season!
Hi Josh-I really enjoy your racing style and how passionate you are on/off the track. People who have never raced don’t understand. As you stated, use their negative comments as motivation. The season is early and I know you’ll be on the podium multiple times. I’m super excited about this season and you’ll be in the hunt for the championship. Good luck and GIVE EM HELL! And…Ducati would not have put you on that bike for the super bike championship if they didn’t believe in you. You earned it! It’s great to see how happy and passionate you are and I’m totally routing for you! What’s next? Possibly WSBK? Would love to see you over there!
Josh, your riding, reflexes, and situational awareness under duress show the real difference between actual racers and.....everybody else, including myself. Hats off to you and your competitors for staying clean and fast, and offering an honest and thorough description of the end of the race.
Really appreciate and enjoyed the detailed breakdown! So glad no one was injured. I know it's time-consuming, but hoping you can do more breakdowns in the future of various (interesting) portions of your races. Great job Josh! Looking forward to watching you win at Barber!
Josh !!! Thanks for the explanation !! I am a big fan - that was an incredible race Sunday - wow !!! And yes, you guys put on a hell of a show !!!! Barber should be epic again - go go go !!!
Ever since you rode Cams bike in 2017 and battled with Rog, I've been a fan . But I admit I didn't expect you to be podium first race weekend simply because you had very little time on the bike but you and Cam both put on an amazing show. Like everyone said. It was absolutely the best SuperBike race I have ever seen. Im excited for the season because now Jake isn't just going to run away with another championship. Time for You and Ducati end that run. !!!
Josh. I have ridden bikes for over 50 years. Enjoy watching the races. Have never had a favorite until now. YOU are the man! Great explanation on the race ending and I look forward to seeing you in person at ROAD AMERICA!
Hey Josh, thanks for breaking it down for people who don't know as much about racing as you do. No one in the stands is anywhere close to being a professional racer. Can't wait to see you race at Road America!
Best race I’ve ever seen, and that was a hell of a move to get through that without taking anyone out. Keep putting the work in, I’d love to see you take the title this year!
I just watched a really great race. What happened at the end was really well explained by you. Your experience and and the experience of the other 3 racers allowed you all to cross the line. I'm looking forward to seeing more great racing from you when you get to The Ridge in June.
Incredible save and even more so hearing you describe it! Best superbike race I've ever seen! Thank you for talking with us and giving us the inside scoop. I learn so much from you!!
Crazy race, thanks for the insight! Happy everyone made it out safe and put on a show while doing so. 👏🏼🏁
This video shows how skilled these guys are, what a race. Can’t wait for the rest of the season! Glad you’re all ok
Wow, talk about a catastrophe averted. Goes to show the skill of these racers. And oh yah, that explanation took 15 mins or so and the real world thoughts and actions took 4-5 seconds. Kudos to you Cameron and Josh and the skills you exhibited.
I know you guys ran out of time for the podium interviews as well as any interview from Josh. I sure wish there was an interview recording, at least of the final podium, finishers, on the MotoAmerica Live+ app for those of us that subscribe. Maybe add that later or think about that in the future? Otherwise, I am enjoying the app tremendously.
Re uploaded without the race audio. Sorry for the mess up.
Thanks for the follow up. I saw an excerpt of you and I had feeling you were racing at a World GP level by sliding the bike.
You raced even when under pressure and trying to get the bike to work together with those guys.
Alot happens at your level.
I would of pooped in my pants.
Im glad all of you are here!!!
Thanks for the feed back 🙏.
Al
I just wanted you to win. And that sounds selfish as fuck. You did a really good job there’s another race And you are alive. My asshole took a bite out of my chair. I thought it was going to be bad. I turned away. Blessings from my Family to yours. Loyal Texas Fan
Hell yeah man! Glad you and everyone got out ok through all of that!
This race was one of the most awesome races I have seen in years. I am an old school guy and I was pulling for you the entire race. It was so impressive watching all four of you guys staying mostly clean till the end. I will be pulling for you all season. If people are questioning your skills, well, they can eat a bag! You are amazing, do what you do.
Totally with you. The racing was amazing!
I don’t see any other riders interact with their fans like you do! That was an awesome weekend of races and congrats on the win! I will keep watching and routing for you!
Josh Hayes use to back in the day. He would actually sit out front to eat lunch so he could talk to people. Can't believe he is 48 and still racing. Josh Herrin has no clue who I am. However, I've watched him since he first year in professional racing 18 years ago back in the AMA days.
👏 I second that sentiment.
I was dying after the race hoping they’d interview you about the incident. So lucky that you and Cam B had the awareness to make moves and not collide. Killer race, seriously an all time classic. I’ll be telling my kids about this one in 20years.
Thanks for the insight on what went down from your perspective. Awesome to hear directly from you. Such a wild moment there.
And I know I sound like a broken record, but STOP READING ThE COMMENTS lol. You don’t need them.
On to the next, go get ‘em #2
Man I raced with you guys at this track and if someone haven't done this corner you just can't understand the size of the "oh shit" moment you got there. I was far from those laptime but I was following JD Beach on that section to dile this tricky corner in and the back tire was bursting in smoke through this corner while we are tucked in and pinned at 100% throttle, sitting at an angle on a rocket ship.
It's by far the craziest corner I did in my racing career. You can't see it on TV but it's blind and there is really 1 good line, if you go side to side there and the rider on the inside push you wide, in my understanding you're done and run wide into that wall that is really way to close by.
I don't know how you managed to save that and I'm really grateful that you did cause that would have been a serious disaster... Plus the other saves after, you seriously showed some extreme skills 🤘
Thanks for clearing it up Josh. MotoAmerica dropped the ball not getting you on for an interview after the race. So glad you all got through safely. Someone up there was definitely looking after you!
The good decisions you made in mere milliseconds saved everyone. Respect. It was a stunning race!!!
You getting so close to the edge of the track got my hands on top of my head, then nearly missing Gagne and Beaubier got me off my seat. Happy you and everyone else made it out.
We need a update video Cuban Rider
Great explanation. I watched the race live and assumed the speed wobble caused an issue with positioning of entering the corner. This explains how exceptional you are. Along with luck God has given you an amazing gift of talent. I have some racing experience and there is a lot more that's involved that the average rider doesn't know. I've actually met you and been on the track with you at Daytona and Jennings. Been watching you for about 13 years. Your one of my favorites to watch.
Congratulations on Daytona 200 win this year!
As racing fans, thank you for giving us one of the best races ever. Respect. Glad you kept it upright, man.
50 years on motorcycles. Today years old becoming one of your biggest fans. Can hear the growth and determination in your voice, brother. I'm pullin' for ya, bruh. Let's get it!
This was awesome Josh. Roger Hayden was explaining that corner and it sounds nuts even when you're all by yourself. Can't imagine how crazy making contact with another bike there must be. I'm glad everyone is OK. Awesome race! Thanks!
I saw this race when it first aired, and was absolutely AMAZED by the hair-width narrow escape. I couldn't believe what my eyes had seen. At first I thought it was just a depth perception truck on my eyes and that there had to have been more space between Gagne and Beaubier, so I kept rewinding and replaying it over and over, and watching it in slow motion. I personally thought it was very apparent that something had happened to your bike right before (the obvious wobble) and that you looked like you couldn't brake. It happens so fast, it's hard to decipher even when rewatching it. I was so thankful that the perfect timing of the Good Lord shining his blessing on you all squeezed you right through the space that didn't even seem to be there. I enjoyed your recap, and to heck with all those know-it-all experts out there giving their amateur commentary.
This is awesome. So glad you took the time to go over this moment by moment. Anyone who's been in similar situations with headshake pushing the pistons back knows EXACTLY what you're talking about. And has had the same internal conversations in the moment. It's exciting to say the least, and when you don't crash it's a great feeling. Your skill and Cameron's skill in picking it up as you slid by is awe inspiring. I met you in January of 2022 at Daytona during the AHRMA races, my garage was 4 or 5 doors down from you and Ducati. Chatting briefly and watching you on track was great, as a successful business owner I know what it takes to succeed at anything and it's clear that you have it and that you're a good person as well. Eff all of the haters and keyboard jockeys keep doing your thing and best of luck.
Josh, thanks for your comments! It's rare to see a top-level get on TH-cam to explain a race. Don't let couch warriors get the best of you. They have no idea how to ride that fast, let alone compete at your level. This season is going to be awesome watching you compete. Give em hell Josh!!!
That was such an awesome breakdown and fun video. People on their couches are assholes and idiots. I’ve been watching racing for many years and a spectator can’t possibly know that’s what happened and was going in at lightning speed. So glad all of you are safe. Excited to see you at Ridge!
That was a heck of a race! Thank you for taking the time to walk us through what happened... the broadcast was rushed at the end and, even thought I watched it several times, I wasn't sure what I was seeing. Good luck this year and I hope to see you guys at Road America.
Great video Josh and thanks for respecting the fan base enough to put this out. I was in the crowd and can tell you the place was going nuts. You guys put on a great show!
Josh Herrin, you continue to be a class act. Thanks for taking the time to go through this. Appreciate you and greatest of luck this season.
Thanks for your take on this Josh. You're a class act, expectingng great battles this year with you on the V4R and Cam on the M1000RR giving Gagne a hard time. This looks to be the most competitive season in years.
@Josh Herrin Great vid Josh. When I was watching that, I couldn't believe my eyes! We've heard commentators use the expression "couldn't fit a piece of paper between them", this is the only time I've ever seen that actually be the case. Cam did a great job adjusting on the fly, great reflexes, he had no time to consciously make a decision there, pure rider instinct, a lot like what you describe you are doing there, no, exactly like what your doing there. So many people don't really understand the minutiae of the physics of racing, but think they know what it feels like to ride like that. They really have no clue what it really takes to race, wether it is 2 wheels or 4. Racing at a high level is being able to make split second decisions that are the right ones, and the only way to be able to do that is by feel. Your body is able to "read" the physics and through experience your brain is able to take that "reading" and turn it into the art of racing. Only those who have this skill understand it. The consequences of making a wrong decision is what tunes the mind to a razor sharp instrument. That is the art of racing. Every rider on that grid has it, some more than others, and some are at different stages of honing the craft. That's why even the last place guy deserves to be admired for his skill and commitment. Thanks for all the years of great racing we get to watch Josh. You look good this year and the bike looks like it is in tune with you. Not sure about the tires yet, I've not heard much rider feedback, but one thing for sure- that was an awesome race!! You got a good shot at a championship Josh, you have the bike, the skill, now grab the confidence to go get it. Jake and Cam are tough competition, but if you mix it up with them and ride smart, you got a good shot this year. Good luck bro!
And this is why i love this guy, setting the record straight for the masses. i knew something was wrong once the wing flew off, then the head-shake moment solidified it for me. KEEP IT UP HOMIE, plenty support out here for you!
You were already my fav racer. After this weekend, you elevated that even more. You are insanely talented and a hard worker.
I’ve been on motorcycles for 50 years and you’re right. It was a combination of the awesome skills that you and Cam possess and a good deal of luck that kept you and the other guys from having parts bin motorcycles and possibly needing some new parts for your bodies as well. Been a fan of you since your AMA SuperSport days. This past weekend will go down as the best race weekend ever in MotoAmerica history. I’m praying that MotoAmerica continues to grow so that you guys can make the money you deserve. Also so we can get more racers on the world stage and hopefully winning! 🇺🇸
I agree!👍✌️🇺🇸
Hey Josh. Met you at San Diego airport in July '22. You're a class act and you showed it that day at the airport and everyday on the track. We all held our breath during that incident on Sunday. Truly a miracle everybody stayed on their seat. Keep doing what you do. It's obviously working. Congrats on your Daytona 200 win. My wife and I were there. All time exciting race for the superbike class for sure, as long as everybody goes home, it's a great race. Take care.
There it is! So happy that you are ok!!!! I know my stomach flipped, I can’t imagine what yours did. Amazing race. Good job!
Awesome race Josh! It was a great time and appreciate your sincerity in explaining what happened. Glad you made it through that gap between Jake & Cam! I watched it in the stream and didn’t realize it was so close until you went through the replay.
@Josh Herrin, Hey Josh, being Aussie seeing this great race, mate, no need to prove yourself! Any racer/track day junky knows you knock your pads in, you got no brakes🤙 You rode 2 brilliant races over on the weekend! The fact that you thanked the Ducati squad for providing the technical support is a champion right there! Your skill not hitting the riders cannot be underestimated! You are a fantastic athlete & a champion ⭐️🚀
Agreed.
Seen the same thing.
I was one of those spectators right in front of where this happened. We all tensed up when it did. Couldn't believe what happened either because it look like it was going to be one nasty wreck. That was one of the best, most memorable races of all time. Us fans weren't expecting it to be that awesome. You four were battling it out the whole entire race. I was there for the King of Baggers race but that race made me a fan of supersports or whatever they are called. Funny how this video showed up in my TH-cam suggestions. (Will be looking forward to attending more races.)
What a great video, Josh, that was totally amazing. And you broke it down perfectly so people totally understand what happened and how amazing you are of a rider to survive that. Good luck this season.
I raced AMA Pro 1990-1995. Many of the very fastest guys were so egotistical, they didn't know how to be honest because they were afraid to be vulnerable. Thank you for changing that.
Watched a live race through the streets of Steamboat Springs, CO back then! Not sure which year, but props to you!😎👍✌️🇺🇸
I have never seen such a detailed description but the affected person before. Awesome job getting in front of this like you did. I want to see this racing all year, between each of you. Keep it up Sir. Great Job!
Love this video and breakdown. I talked to you at the podium on Friday while watching qualifying on the big screen and was asking about this channel if you remember. Definitely the best racing I’ve seen in years on SBK. Was really happy to see you up there in the mix and look forward to seeing you battle those guys some more this season. Respect
Appreciate the time you took to make this. Gods Grace saved you guys and you being in this sort of profession at your level plays a crucial role as well. 👊💪🤙
Top level racing by top level racers making decisions by the millisecond. Nobody's out there doing anything intentionally malicious so nothing to apologize for. Kinda crappy you gotta post a walkthrough video explaining that, but with the negativity that follows you I guess that's not surprising. You bring an attitude and presence to the paddock that intimidates, challenges as well as elevates your competitors. As a fan of motorcycle racing wanting US roadracing to be what it once was, I am excited to watch you, Cam B./P., Scholtz, Gagne (+ others) mix it up each round.
I agree, this was one of the best MA or AMA Superbike races I've seen in a long time. Can't wait for the next round!
Three champions in a knockdown drag out epic battle…wow! Listening to many post race interviews with Cameron over the years he had the number 1 plate, he always gives a shout out to “the Man upstairs”. I believe He had something to do with the way you rocketed through that tiny gap between Cam and Jake without a crash, not to mention the epic save you made after that . Great job. Thanks for your transparency and a great explanation, frame by frame as to what happened.
I recognize that you guys put your lives on the line for our entertainment. Thank you for your detailed analysis. I pray that you all come out safe at the end of each race day and keep the competition intense but friendly.
Josh, it was awesome to finally meet you at the Warhorse tent after following you for 5 years (all the time I've been watching MotoAmerica)! Man, that was an exciting race and I was pulling for ya so hard! Couldn't believe that all happening right on the last lap. So so glad you stayed on the pavement, there is NO runoff right there and with the speeds you were doing... sheesh. Thanks for unpacking all this! I learned a lot from this, and that tip about the headshake may come in handy for me on the track down the road! I was so pissed that MotoAmerica pulled the cameras when you pulled over and Cam was coming up to you. I guess they thought you were about to throw down haha. Glad to hear ya'll smoothed things over.
P.S. even if you WERE flaming mad, I wouldn't have blamed you. You just stared death in the face because of someone else's actions and for all you knew at the moment it was Cam just trying to play defense and box you out. there was no way you saw or knew that he slipped his front until he communicated with you. so yeah, keep doing you, keep being passionate, keep up the hard work. Last year was incredible to watch on the V2, I think this year is your year again on the V4R! This was some stellar, smart racing.
P.S.S. Like I said at the tent, definitely looking forward to more street riding content! If wheelies on race bikes are frowned upon, any chance of throwing them up on a Hypermotard or Monster? The bikes Ducati markets as hooligan bikes themselves? Just a thought I had after...
Take care and keep shredding! - Jason
Hey Josh, I hope you actually get to read this comment.
It’s the best racing story I have ever heard. I absolutely love it, you gave your step by step of the entire race situation.
As a former AFM Racer, I know how racing incidents go And you always just try to protect yourself and others always on two wheels.
I am also a former Kevin Schwantz graduate who had a chance to sit next to him at dinner has he shared stories of 😮racing and gave so many descriptives that only riders and racers know about. In this video u did the same and I think ur awesome for it and this story you just shared are like stories that Kevin Swantz shared about racing incidents…. Racing is all about pushing hard….
Love the detail and step-by-step process. I’m glad you made it through happy for your podium on Saturday and I can’t wait to see you continue racing throughout the season this year… may be in the off-season. Once I get my shit together I could hire you for a coaching session (buttonwillow,thill)once I get my gsxr back up and running….
Much luck this season and stay healthy ….!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Fantastic race Josh. The G-forces at 185+ Mph are immense and I think the wings played a role for Cam and yourself in what happened. Great save, great responses and looking forward to more duels.
Prob the best all out race I have seen in a long time. And the decisions you make in the matter of a couple of seconds, from trying to win, to not hurting the other riders, is absolutely insane! Can't wait until the next 1!
When I was watching the race in real time I thought the reason you blew the corner was due to the winglet which flew off from the impact with Cameron. I missed the head shake because it was the best race I've seen in years from any two wheeled categories. Glad you're not hurt or anyone else for that matter. It could've been much worst as shown by Michele Pirro at Mugello when he had head shake before braking for turn one in 2018.
Thank you so much for the in depth explanation of this incident. I was really pulling for you in this race and, being a non-racer, had no idea what happened. Not knowing any of you to any extent personally, I was hoping it was not a dick move to win the race by Beaubier. I'm so happy it wasn't as I have watched superbike for years and respect all of you for you constant professionalism and top notch races. This was, no doubt, the best race I have seen since I've been watching superbikes. I watch multiple venues of superbikes also and this race was awesome! Sometimes you get a couple guys at the end battling it out but, wow, having 4 riders right there with 3 of you switching leads and making incredible passes. What a race! You are a true professional for making this video and best of luck on the season. If this weekend was any indication, it's gonna be a great year of competition.
Wish that more riders would be this open! It was a racing incident and like you said, all of you guys were lucky to make it out unscathed & scoring points. Good on you for posting your side of the story.
This is looking like it’s gonna be an awesome season. The explanation was really interesting (and eye-opening) for a non-racer / casual fan.
Thx Josh for all the years of racing, all you guys are riding on the raged edge and it was amazing to see you all exit the kink still on 2 wheels. Truly a professional display of riding skill and racecraft by all. When I have good day of riding my Pikes Peak and think I know how to ride it near it's limit after nearly 60 yrs and couple 100k miles of dirt and street experience I realize I'm just scratching the surface, you guys are on a another planet. Best of luck with Championship and career.
Thank you! That was an awesome show. Thanks for sharing your perspective. Was missing the interview before the end of the broadcast.
That gap between those bikes appeared outta nowhere! That was a crazy save! Props! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for taking the time to make this. I honestly thought RJ Hampshire was racing hahahaha! Great racing man.
Josh! Thank you for taking time to reach out to fans and viewers of this INCREDIBLE race!
I don't think people who actually watch and understand racing feel you did a single thing wrong to be receiving the hate you said you're getting. It was obvious that something happened with Cam at the kink, but the camera transition made it hard to see exactly what. The rest was holding on for dear life.
I'm glad you made the video because the broadcast never showed anyone talking about it. However, I don't feel like you have any reason you need to explain your actions.
Man, I'm glad you're safe, and it's great to see that fire back in you like the old days. Bring it to them, Josh!
I've watched the AMA since the mid 90s and that's the best race I've seen in the top class. The way you desccribed it is exactly whatit looked like except the front end tuck was't visible from cameras. I thnk the four of you will be talking about "that race at Atlanta in 2023" when you're old men. The promoters can thank you because I'll be watching every single race this season now, as will a lot of other people. Keep up the great work!
Great example of explaining what happened and being accountable for your part. Been a fan of yours for a long long time.
Great race analysis! Would be cool to see more of these from you for the current season, or even past seasons!
That’s divine intervention my friend. Great race and holy crap this is gonna be an amazing season that’s for sure.
Thanks for taking the time to explain in detail. I rewatched this part of the last lap a bunch of times as it happened and was just amazed you made it past the contact and made it through the kink (knee down, in the marbles at 180+ mph)
Never been a huge fan, but ive also never been a doubter. You have incredible talent and i low key knew you would be a menace on that V4R. Never thought this was anything malicous either. I kinda figured it was a racing incident and the breakdown just confirmed that. Thank you for giving us hardcore racing like we have been wanting. Keep it up at Barber man.
Hey Josh--Great race man! From my 18 years of experience watching races on my couch I have to say this was the best motorcycle race of 2023 so far. Binder's sprint race win was probably number 2. Glad to see you and all the other veterans back at it again. I have a feeling this season will bring us more exciting racing than MotoGP and WSBK. Tell MotoAmerica to give the corner workers better training or more fire extinguishers to deal with fires or not to show the part where the corner workers are in danger. I don't want their insurance to go up or they might not have the budget to keep posting these awesome races on YT! Cant wait to see you on the podium this season as you get that Ducati dialed in!
Love the post race analysis, I'd like to see more of this throughout the season if you have the time.
Insane how much you were processing in such a short period of time. That could have been a terrible incident and your quick thinking and reactions prevented that. Can’t wait to see everyone racing at Barber next month.
Anyone who has ever experienced the effects of a head shake on (or off) the track know exactly what happened there. You did your level best to make the best of the situation without going down and taking anyone else out. Good on you, and I'm glad to see all of you got through that section of track unscathed.
Happened to me. Head shake and the next corner no brake and i crash in the grass trying to avoid a armco...
@@raphaellacasse-linteau I had it happen on the long strait over the hill at Road America, plenty of times. But one memorable event there was the head shake then no brakes, then when I got them back the front tire started bouncing like a basketball into Turn 1. I went nearly off the track wide trying to get the thing calmed down before being able to tip in.
Josh, you are my favorite rider. I’m glad you took the time to share the video and explained what happened in detail. It really was the best superbike race in many years.
Josh, I have watched you race on the TV screen at home for at least 15 years. I can not express how much more respect I have for you now. I have never been a fan of yours, always felt like you all about only yourself. I am so very thankful that you took the time to post this. I have gained so, so, much more respect for you now. You by doing this has turned me into a fan of yours now. Thank You sir, looking forward watching all season long now.
Howdy Josh, thanks for the explanation in the video. Didn't have a chance to catch the race but I'm glad you (and the other guys) are all ok. I appreciate the perspective from you as there is no other way to get understand. Good luck the rest of the season!
One of the best races I have seen in years. In the end just happy no one got hurt and you all made it through safely.
I hope you keep this form up, Josh! This was like my 3rd or 4th race I've been able to watch live, as the races are oftentimes too late here.
It was great seeing you able to fight with Cameron and Gagne and keep their pace. It was one of the greatest races I'd ever seen in bike racing, and even car racing. Keep it up, I hope you win a race!
As Always, Thank You for being You Josh!!! The level of Character, and behind the scenes training on perfecting your craft for situations such as the one you just walked us through !! Can’t begin to imagine what it takes to be at your level of competition, complete, with the skill set to remain focused and not fall apart when the unthinkable happens 🤙🏼
Congrats!!! You are looking great on the new bike ….looking forward to you watching you kicking butt this year!!!
The saves you made to get yourself and your fellow competitors through that one without anyone getting hurt shows what an incredible talent you are on a motorcycle!! To the smack talkers, what bike were you on again, must have missed you during the race??? Overall, probably the best race I've seen in MA.
Cam's reaction time was super human to miss you! Looks like he is going to be a tough competitor this year. And you were right there with him. Good luck! Can't wait to see more racing like that!
I agree! Josh & Cam Beau are two of my favorite racers & I knew the battles would start to get scrappy right away, but daaang!😅❤️🔥✌️🇺🇸
I must admit that I am not a big Josh Herrin fan. Some of the things you do and say can rub people the wrong way, it is what it is. But I have to give you major respect for making this video and stepping up after the race on Sunday. I am glad that all the athletes involved were able to bring it home without incident or injury. Even after 40+ years of watching racing I am still amazed by the level of skill and talent displayed by these riders. After years of seeing one guy take off into the distance it will be great to see some close racing at the front of MotoAmerica again. I have been a fan since the days when American racers ruled the world (Roberts, Spencer, Lawson, Rainey, Schwantz). It would be great to see those days return again! Good luck, God bless.
I've watched this race a few times now! I haven't been this excited about a MotoAmerica race in years!! Josh, you've never been my favorite racer, but your talent, skill, and expertise on a superbike is undeniable and I respect the hell out of you bud! As a Ducati fan, I'm super happy to see you on the V4R! You definitely had a few pucker moments there but, the end result is everyone came out ok and you still collected valuable points this weekend! Can't wait for Barber next month!!!!!!
Phenomenal race, and im sure there's a season of great battles to come. Well done, and thanks for all the content.
Still can’t believe I was on the same track days with you at Thunderhill back then. A complete honor. Keep kicking azz!
Awesome explanation Josh! You've got serious pace this year, keep your nose clean and give them hell! You deserve this
Thanks for the awesome breakdown, and explanation. There's no way to figure all that out by just watching. Well done Josh! I would definitely be thanking your "Guardian Angel" at this point! Best of luck this year!
Josh, I was cheering you on all the way brother. You did an awesome job piloting that v4r. Glad you made it out safely.
Glad no one was hurt. Thought this was going to end bad when I saw your front right aero fly off. You put on one hell of a race. Don’t let the haters get to you.
Really enjoyed watching you race this weekend. And i'm glad you put this vid out - its so much more interesting to hear what you're actually thinking about in those moments than what some people read into it.
Hey man, I'm completely new to the world of motorcycle racing as I just got into it about a week ago. Was rooting for you while watching a replay of the Daytona 200 (first time I'd seen it, so I had no idea who won) when they penalized you 7 positions on the restart. Became a fan of yours as I watched you fight through that and win it. Awesome stuff man.
What a race, thanks for doing the full frame-by-frame. Now that you point out the headshake it all makes sense. I can't imagine coming into a turn at those speeds with no front brake feel. Can't wait to be there for the race at Laguna!
Appreciate the transparency. Best damn race I've seen in Motoamerica in a long time!
Appreciate you coming forward with your insight and perspective. Glad you and the others came out of that uninjured.
Awesome race Josh! I really love that you took the time to explain what was going on and the situation from your POV. This is your year mane!!!! I’ll see you at the track!!
By FAR the best Moto America races I've seen! Insane competition this year!! So happy for you to be on that bike! Keep killing it brotha
As a new viewer it was an awesome race and glad to see everyone make it out as you all did. In the heat of the moment split decisions are extremely difficult so screw those that spread hate when they have no idea what their saying. At the end of the day they are looking for attention and rather than commenting back videos like this I think are the best response. Good luck this season!
Exactly!👍✌️🇺🇸
Hi Josh-I really enjoy your racing style and how passionate you are on/off the track. People who have never raced don’t understand. As you stated, use their negative comments as motivation. The season is early and I know you’ll be on the podium multiple times. I’m super excited about this season and you’ll be in the hunt for the championship. Good luck and GIVE EM HELL! And…Ducati would not have put you on that bike for the super bike championship if they didn’t believe in you. You earned it! It’s great to see how happy and passionate you are and I’m totally routing for you! What’s next? Possibly WSBK? Would love to see you over there!
Josh, your riding, reflexes, and situational awareness under duress show the real difference between actual racers and.....everybody else, including myself. Hats off to you and your competitors for staying clean and fast, and offering an honest and thorough description of the end of the race.
Really appreciate and enjoyed the detailed breakdown! So glad no one was injured. I know it's time-consuming, but hoping you can do more breakdowns in the future of various (interesting) portions of your races. Great job Josh! Looking forward to watching you win at Barber!
Josh !!! Thanks for the explanation !! I am a big fan - that was an incredible race Sunday - wow !!! And yes, you guys put on a hell of a show !!!! Barber should be epic again - go go go !!!
Was great seeing you out there on the V4R. Glad everyone made it home safe. Damn that was some good racing
Ever since you rode Cams bike in 2017 and battled with Rog, I've been a fan . But I admit I didn't expect you to be podium first race weekend simply because you had very little time on the bike but you and Cam both put on an amazing show. Like everyone said. It was absolutely the best SuperBike race I have ever seen. Im excited for the season because now Jake isn't just going to run away with another championship. Time for You and Ducati end that run. !!!
Josh. I have ridden bikes for over 50 years. Enjoy watching the races. Have never had a favorite until now. YOU are the man! Great explanation on the race ending and I look forward to seeing you in person at ROAD AMERICA!
Hey Josh, thanks for breaking it down for people who don't know as much about racing as you do. No one in the stands is anywhere close to being a professional racer. Can't wait to see you race at Road America!
Best MA race i seen for years and great insight in this vid. Looking forward to watching you race this season. Good luck mate.
Best race I’ve ever seen, and that was a hell of a move to get through that without taking anyone out. Keep putting the work in, I’d love to see you take the title this year!
I swear you're the most entertaining and honest racer I've ever watched. Thank you for this breakdown!
I just watched a really great race. What happened at the end was really well explained by you. Your experience and and the experience of the other 3 racers allowed you all to cross the line. I'm looking forward to seeing more great racing from you when you get to The Ridge in June.
Wow. Thank you VERY much for sharing this!
Incredible save and even more so hearing you describe it! Best superbike race I've ever seen! Thank you for talking with us and giving us the inside scoop. I learn so much from you!!
