Matt McBride gets 2nd Place Podium finish

BMW Toronto's own Matt McBride gets 2nd Place in the final face of 2011 Superbike Championship

On August 21st, BMW Toronto's own Matt McBride of Mississauga, Ont. scored a career high second place finish on his BMW S1000RR, 15.587 secs. behind Szoke.

 

 

“I didn’t think he would try going into turn one,” Szoke admitted after his 10th career Mosport Superbike win. “After that I looked back and didn’t see anybody else and told myself to just take things easy and not make any mistakes.”

 

McCormick said he thought it was the right time to make his move.

 

“It was my first moment the whole race,” explained McCormick, who had won all six races this season heading into Sunday’s finale. “I got to the apex and the back end came around on me.”

 

McBride was only 10th after the opening lap but took advantage of drama ahead of him and growing confidence in the wet conditions to move up the order. He passed Martin exiting turn three on the final lap.

 

“The first few laps the bike wasn’t feeling that great but then as it dried a little the bike felt better and I started making my moves,” McBride said.
