Cameron Beaubier was fastest but the field closed in on the five-time Champion during MotoAmerica Steel Commander Superbike Test Session Three Thursday at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, in Lexington, Ohio.
Riding his Dunlop-shod Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW M 1000 RR, Beaubier led the session with a 1:24.640 on the recently repaved 2.4-mile road course. That was slower than the 1:24.126 he did in Test Session Two.
