With just two season championships left to be decided on the final day of the 2023 MotoAmerica season, ironically, the Mission King Of The Baggers Championship ended in a similar fashion to how the REV’IT! Twins Cup Championship ended.

Only seven points separated Vance & Hines Mission Harley-Davidson teammates Hayden Gillim and James Rispoli going into race two at New Jersey Motorsports Park. But the showdown never really materialized because Rispoli ran off the track while leading early in the race on the wet-but-drying track. Although Rispoli didn’t crash, the off-track excursion put him well back in the pack and he ended up seventh.

There were quite a few firsts in the MotoAmerica series this past season. Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati NYC rider Xavi Forés became the first MotoAmerica rider to win eight Supersport races in a row, and he also did it as a MotoAmerica rookie, which was another first. Squid Hunter Racing’s Josh Hayes became the first rider to win 87, and then 88, AMA-sanctioned road races. And Tytlers Cycle Racing Kawasaki rider Kayla Yaakov became the first female in the MotoAmerica era–and the second female in AMA history–to reach the podium in a Supersport race. Those were MotoAmerica firsts, but what about world firsts?

Yup, we had two of those this past season, too.

And then, at Pittsburgh, he finished second in both races. Well, on Saturday at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, Forés returned to his winning ways with a championship-clinching victory.
