At round eight of MotoAmerica held at Virginia International Raceway, Bobby Fong (Yamaha) won Superbike Races 1 and 2 before Loris Baz (Ducati) took the final race. In Supersport, Josh Hayes (Yamaha) won Race 2 for the 90th victory of his career.
Baz holding off Jacobsen by 0.155 seconds in Race 3 — that's braking dialed in from corner entry to exit, no cracks anywhere. Fong's double was sharp too, but that photo finish is what got me. Hayes hitting career win 90 is a number everyone respects in the pit lane, and it's not one an average rider ever gets close to.

Honestly didn't fully know the difference between Supersport and Superbike until this.
Easiest way to think of it: different base bikes and displacement classes.
Ducati only looking strong in Race 3 makes me think they changed the setup mid-weekend.
Fong's margins in Races 1 and 2 were both around 2 seconds — the consistency shows in the numbers.
Hayes hitting 90 career wins is just an insane body of work.
90 wins is great, but given his age you have to wonder how many more years he's got in him.
Baz winning by 0.155 seconds — that finish gave me chills watching the replay.
