Cameron Beaubier was quickest during MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike practice Friday morning at Road America, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

Riding his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR on Dunlop Sportmax Slick control tires, Beaubier covered the 14-turn, 4.0-mile course in 2:09.509, which was 1.4 seconds faster than anyone else in the 23-rider field.

Bobby Fong was the best of the rest with a 2:10.925 on his Wrench Motorcycles Yamaha YZF-R1 even though his session was shortened by a technical issue.

After being slowed by arm pump symptoms in races at Barber Motorsports Park, three-time and defending Champion Jake Gagne posted a third-fastest 2:11.258 Friday on his Attack Performance/Progressive/Yamaha Racing YZF-R1. Gagne also crashed without any significant injury during the session.

Beaubier’s teammate JD Beach also bounced back from a rough weekend in Alabama to be fourth-fastest with a 2:11.823 on Friday in Wisconsin.

Gagne’s teammate Cameron Petersen did a 2:11.920, which ranked him fifth just ahead of Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Josh Herrin (2:12.024), Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Xavi Fores (2:12.200), TopPro Racing BMW’s Sean Dylan Kelly (2:12.576), Fores’ teammate Brandon Paasch (2:12.880), and Herrin’s teammate Loris Baz (2:12.914) in the order.
