Five of those riders—Beaubier, Eslick, Gagne, Herrin, and Hayes—have two or more titles on their racing resumes. All five of MotoAmerica’s 2016 champions—Beaubier, Herrin, Gerloff, Prince, and Paasch—are back for another championship run, although Herrin, Prince, and Paasch are moving up in class and will therefore not defend their titles.
