KAYLA YAAKOV Chases Supersport Podium as Championships Heat Up at VIR

August 12, 2026

• KAYLA YAAKOV holds third in Supersport standings, trailing leader Darryn Binder by 102 points aboard her Rahal Ducati Moto with Droplight Panigale V2. With 150 points available across three remaining rounds, she remains a legitimate podium threat.
• Championship leader Binder swept Mid-Ohio to extend his advantage to 19 points over Josh Herrin, who lost Race 2 by under a tenth. VIR’s flowing 2.25-mile layout and August heat will test all contenders.
• Twins Cup sees 16-year-old Hank Vossberg positioned to clinch the championship at VIR, holding a 63-point lead with only 100 points remaining. Challengers Matthew Chapin and Bodie Paige face must-win pressure.
• Talent Cup championship tightens with Kensei Matsudaira’s 23-point lead over Nathan Gouker. The battle extends realistically to four riders, all aboard identical Kramer APX-350 MA machinery for close racing.
