Welcome to the site! It's exciting to see some good moto photos here.
Technically this is very good. I see you've got the best equipment for this type of photo. Motorcycle roadracing is one subject where the equipment can make a huge difference. I would probably lighten this just a tiny bit - especially in the shadow areas. It feels a bit dark and heavy. Lightening it would make it "pop" better. I also think the lead rider is too centered. I don't know if you cropped this already or not. But centering your main subject tends to trap the viewer's eye in the middle of the image. I would have cropped this tighter on the left and left more room on the right. That would compliment the direction the riders are going and give more of a sense of movement in that direction.
I used to shoot a lot of motorcycle racing. You could say it was my first love. It's what got me into sports photography. Now I pretty much just shoot cycling. What track was this shot at?

It's a long story. It began with me buying a mountain bike. There was a motorcycle crash at Laguna Seca (no injuries), a new bike to break in, winter, and the company I work for also has a mountain bike site. So I naturally began pedalling more. That's how it happened. And now I haven't been to the motorcycle races since the 2000 WSB at Laguna Seca. I find I'd rather ride my mountain bike than fight with all the people for photos at the races. Also, I've never been able to get a press pass for World Super Bike, and I'm not interested anymore unless I can get better access.
Plus, mountain bike photography is a lot of fun. I get to combine landscape and sports, it's still got speed and two wheels, and I get more exercise. And bicycles are a much cheaper addiction than motorcycles. I have a 1998 GSXR 600 in my garage collecting dust...
