Not really a follower of this series but, this was one of the most exciting races of any type I have seen. I raced circle track cars in the PNW occasionally in the rain but never expected the podium to be filled with 3 driver who went down and still had the skill to ride to head of the pack on damaged bikes. Congrats to all the riders of this series.

[@JingRoku]

I won't even go out get cigs with my z900 when it's raining lol, balls of steel. Stay safe

[@Blynkqze]

This kinda racing should get paid more than other sports.Dangerous,exciting and enjoyable.This’s also rainy.I respect all these racers

[@nickrider5220]

I remember this race, it was fascinating, but should've been stopped early on - racing in the wet is one thing, racing through puddles is best left to boats and ducks !

[@rodneycaupp5962]

I feel real emotion for these riders and their safety. It would have changed the outcome so I would love to hear from the teams point of view

[@hotchihuahua1546]

Hats off to these racers ! This was a stressful race for even the spectators to watch .

[@chicago23cub]

This is crazy and lots of skill . These racers are pretty awesome .

Those Dunlops are better in water than my Pilot Road 4s on dry pavement.

[@harveycasey1900]

OMG 😲 what a race.

Motoamerica is dope 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟😎😎😎😎😎

[@Zach78z]

Doesn't matter how good you are. Only takes one time

[@tokyosmash]

What a great time Barber was!

[@SunnyKim_]

Yeah.... they should have called that. That was pretty redonkulous.

[@rodneycaupp5962]

The cooldown lap gave me a chance to breath again. I recently danced across the water in a rain like that in a heavy SUV... Only for Hydroplanes Guys

[@dardarrelt.7222]

I got confused, I think I've seen this race already. Is this re recorded race??

[@kimgodwin3284]

What a crazy exciting race. Loved it!

Scholtz and Peterson both South Africans, along with the Binder Brothers the SA boys are tearing up the world of Bike Racing.

[@boogygottsmann4728]

add to that, Dominic Doyle, Sheridan Morias and Steven Odendaal...there's another Saffer from C.T. I think, can't remember his name...

[@seangouws2535]

Spot on, racing in the American 600cc series.

[@boogygottsmann4728]

@@seangouws2535 The other saffer is Sam Lockhoff...I really enjoy the MotoAmerica/ Honos SBK series...great talent there and tight racing...and they have huge respect for our boyz...

[@V1ZVentus]

At 8:46 why is there a ronald mcdonal looking old lady mannequin hanging from the scaffolding lmfao. Anyone else seein this?!?!

[@jtfuller5624]

Great exciting race! 👏 Don't get me wrong Matthew Schultz is a very talented rider. But his constant temper tantrum about the riding conditions are ridiculous. Your in control of the machine, if you don't feel safe pull in the pits. Nobody has a loaded 🔫 to your head making you race. Not to mention if it's that bad on track why would you keep taking your hand of the controls to display your disapproval to race control. It's like watching a child not get their way, so I'm going to stomp around with my bottom lip out.

[@airtimepaintball463]

What happened to the MotoAmerica promise of doing things better? The entire podium crashed at some point. Perhaps a red flag was in order...? Completely ridiculous.

[@nowwhat1434]

In the rain though?!

[@DrewF7210]

1:10 is that a person hanging from bridge

[@matthewbundesman4724]

I noticed this as well.....really weird.

[@MansterBear]

It's just a prop to be funny

[@calijoe9559]

I think everybody crashed at least once. Crazy!!!

[@Dani_77]

What is with the security of the riders? That was to dangerous…

[@NoMoreMrNiceGuy223]

Why is it still the 2021 championship? When does the 22 season starts in motoAmerica?

27:02 YOYOY with the 'standing water' ffs' have you ever tried to 'stand up' some water - it often tends to fall over in my extensive experience. it's 'water laying' or even puddles. standing water - my arse !!

[@AssenGsxr]

I told NASCAR Dale died along time ago taking the sport with him so they gonna share TV time with us 😅😂

[@MegaTubescreamer]

why is the commentator so shouty,, ? drowning out the other commentators is just plain rude as well .

[@radicalrick9587]

*_This is my kind of race!_* *_I'm glad Petersen, who was in the lead until he crash, won._* *_I thought it was a pretty cheap shot that as soon Scholtz had the lead handed over to him he started to protect. He wasn't protecting when he was in second. So a big Karma comes back and bites Selfess Scholtz in the ass._*

[@jtfuller5624]

Couldn't agree more. If it's that dangerous that you feel the need to throw a temper tantrum for race control to stop the race then how about just pull in the pits. Nobody is forcing you to twist the throttle an race on. The guy is super talented but I continue to lose respect for the guy bc of his child like antics on the track.

[@outquick]

The only way Suzuki is gonna win is if the three people in first place all wreck bahhahaha

[@sargelamphier4617]

How does someone win 16 in a row with out cheating in someway? It shouldn't be that way in this day and age. Back in the day yes when it was run what ya brung and who ever had the most money won. Now between BOP and all of the bikes being pretty much equal. And all the top riders are all pretty much equal as well. This shouldn't have happened in 2021. Maybe in the 80's & early 90's yes. Any thing earlier bikes were not a dependable. Any thing later would have all the rules and regulations to make them equal for a show not a race.

[@sargelamphier4617]

Moto America the NASCAR of the motorcycle racing world. This race should have been called right from the beginning. And the announcers just defend it and try to justify buy saying "Moto America has it under control". Moto America put everyone of those riders in harm's way for entertainment sake. If you wanted a different rider to win this was a really crappie way to do it.

[@thomaslemay8817]

Race Director is the big failure on this day . I have ridden all kinds of weather including snow . No reason to keep a race going with this many people getting taken out by deep water. Think about just how dangerous it was and the ridiculous amount of damage to equipment that was simply not necessary. I would not blame anyone who gives the official who's job it is to monitor safety a punch in the nose just to wake him up. This race should have been called at the earliest distance that qualified as a race .

[@dallasdandy6276]

This was BS MotoAmerica. If you wanted bloody action switch to MMA. This was ridiculous. Disregarding the safety of the riders for entertainment or $$. Something should be done to the race directors.
