The second round of the 2024 MotoAmerica Championship took place this past weekend at one of the most picturesque and quirkiest circuits on the calendar – Barber Motorsports Park – and the Tytlers Cycle team were back in action in both Superbike and Supersport categories. 
 
In Superbike, both Cameron Beaubier and JD Beach arrived at the Alabama circuit buoyed by their results from the season opener at Road Atlanta and both started well as the event got underway with Cameron immediately at the sharp end whilst JD re-familiarised himself with a track he had not ridden at for several years. 
 
Qualifying on Pole (Cameron) and ninth (JD), both riders were confident ahead of the three twenty lap races. 
 
Beaubier hit the front from the start in race one but unfortunately crashed out with a healthy lead in the early stages. The #6 put Saturday\u2019s crash behind him to bag a double win on Sunday, leaving round two as the points leader. 
 
JD scored a solid eighth in race one before a spill and a DNF on Sunday meant no additional points for the #95 who is already looking ahead to Road America in a fortnight. 
 
In the Supersport category Stefano Mesa once again flew the flag for the Tytlers team. Consistently fast throughout free practice and qualifying the #37 rode well in both races to secure eighth on Saturday and sixth in a restarted shorter race on Sunday. Mesa heads to round three at Road America eighth overall in the points classification after securing his season\u2019s best result in race two at Barber. 
 
Cameron Beaubier:<\/strong> \u201cI had a great feeling with the bike this weekend thanks to the Tytlers guys\u2019 hard work. This weekend really showed the progress we made from last year at this track. Saturday race one was going well until I crashed out. It stung pretty bad considering the pace we had going into the race, but we learned some things from it. Sunday went to our plan, and it felt great standing on top of the box in both races. I was bummed to see JD have a big one but glad he\u2019s all good. I am excited for Road America!\u201d<\/em>
 
JD Beach<\/strong> \u201cSometimes you have good weekends and then sometimes you have weekends like I did in Barber. Saturday in qualifying I had an off-track trip that hurt my manhood pretty bad. In race one on Saturday, I felt like we improved from our Friday pace a good amount and gained some info for race two and three. All of that went out of the window after about five laps in race two when I had a big get off. The only thing I did to help the Tytlers team this weekend was giving them practice at working on motorcycles. It is a weekend to forget for me but I\u2019m glad the team got some much-deserved success with Cam.\u201d<\/em>
 
Stefano Mesa:<\/strong> \u201cRound two was a little better for us. We are starting to make good progress with the bike setup although race one was a bit of a struggle. The first few laps were good but then I started to get massive chatter and fell off the lead group. I ended up in P8. Sunday, we had made some big changes and race two the bike was better. We had a red flag incident on lap five and I restarted the race P4 on the grid. Halfway through the second half of the race battling for 4th,5th, an 6th I had to check up in quite a big way to avoid hitting another rider who crashed right in front of me. I wasn\u2019t quite able to chase back down the lead group and I finished sixth. It was a better weekend and I\u2019m looking forward to keeping chipping away to the front. Huge thanks to the Tytlers Cycle team for their efforts and to Zequi for coming and giving us a hand.\u201d<\/em><\/p>
