Beaubier heads back to MotoAmerica for 2023

American Racing’s Cameron Beaubier has called time on his Grand Prix career after two seasons in the Moto2 World Championship.

After a challenging introduction to the world stage, the five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion has decided to return home to the USA and race in the national series for 2023.

Achieving his debut Moto2 pole position in front of the home fans during Austin’s Americas GP back in April, Beaubier has failed to achieve the race results he expected of himself as he transitioned to the intermediate championship. Having initially expected to continue with the American Racing team for a further season, the 29-year-old has decided to head back to California.

“This wasn’t an easy decision, that’s for sure,” Beaubier confirmed on Thursday afternoon from the Aragon paddock. “Firstly though I want to thank the team for the opportunity to be here and compete on the world stage and now for respecting my decision.

“I’m glad that I’ve shown that when things click together I’m competitive towards the front but I mainly came over here with the hopes of progressing into MotoGP and I’m going to be 30 in December. So no matter how good I do next year, I don’t see myself getting into MotoGP at 31 years old. I’m okay with that but I don’t want to find myself racing in this class year after year, so I’ve decided the twilight years of my career would be better spent at home again.



“As well as how intense it is on the track, I’m not gonna lie, part of my decision comes from getting home sick. I’ve been in Northern California my whole life, and it has been difficult spending significant amounts of time away from everything and everyone I know and love. I didn’t realise how much I appreciated racing in the MotoAmerica
