ATLANTA!
JOSH HERRIN : MOTUL SUPERBIKE
Although Josh Herrin’s results from the first round of the series at Circuit of the Americas don’t necessarily jump off of the page, anyone who was in attendance at Austin witnessed an incredibly impressive performance. Even more so, anyone who has their finger on the pulse of the MotoAmerica paddock
would be astounded at his results given the circumstances -- Herrin was struggling throughout the entire weekend at COTA with his electronics package, most notably missing the assistance of traction control
on his one hundred and fifty plus horsepower machine. He did the best with the cards he was dealt and managed to fight back from thirteenth on the grid to mix it up at the sharp end of the field in the early stages of bothraces, but he began to struggle as the laps ticked off. Despite uncharacteristic results, Herrin was optimistic heading into Road Atlanta in what is considered his home track with droves of ‘Herrin Compound’ fans lining the fences to support him.
