T
he second round of the
Superbike Shootout at So-
noma Raceway went to the
boys in blue: Factory Yamaha's
rising stars Cameron Beaubier
and Garrett Gerloff. Both had im-
pressive weekends. Both were
on pole. Both won races, with
Beaubier taking the Pro Super-
bike victory and Gerloff capturing
the win in Pro Sportbike. But what
stands out more than Gerloff's
coming of age is what everyone's
been salivating over - to see what
Beaubier can do on a Superbike
in his rookie season. And so far
he's been doing quite well, win-
ning his second-ever Superbike
race at Daytona in March and fol-
lowing that up with a strong per-
formance at last weekend's Su-
perbike Shootout battle at Auto
Club Speedway. But what really
made a statement was Beaubi-
Rookie Cameron
Beaubier (2) beat
his teammate, the
three-time champ
Josh Hayes (4), in
Superbike action
at Sonoma.
