Cool! Awesome video. Would be great if you can take a shot from above and looking down at the race track, it will look great in my opinion

I thought it was very good.
As Maddox suggested, different angles like from directly above, for example would enable you to create a longer and more varied video.
I expect you cobbled together the best bits from your clips, like we all do. However, for my part, I was content to watch for a third of the video and my interest waned. Essentially, the guys were just running round, doing the same sort of thing. Difficult to make much from that.
Perhaps if you get a chance again, plan a shoot, perhaps with the riders help.
What can you show? The start, about 3 seconds, the basic circuit from above as they race around from the start, and then a series of close in shots, about 3 secs each interspersed with follow rounds as you have done, perhaps 4 or 5 seconds max.
I thought your drone control was remarkably good. However, the subject was the guys on the bikes. So make it all about them.
A few shots using a video camera (Still camera shooting a few seconds of video clips) taken at ground level, slightly pointing up to catch the bike and rider  churning dirt out of the bends. Even lay the camera in the dip pointing skywards as they bridge the dip.
Perhaps a recent vid I did might show better what I mean.   It isn't like your vid, in as much as mine is an island tour, but you will notice all the scenes are short and I included some surprise scenes, just to maintain interest. (I had to make do with old, unplanned footage. The planning went into piecing it together.
I am absolutely certain you can make a brilliant vid if you plan well.
Good luck, I will look forward to a white knuckle ride.

I think you already did a nice job.
This is a hard subject to film since it moves so fast!

Some minor tips:
- Avoid transitions (unless you really want that effect)
(I like to hard cut the footage)
- Cut to the beat. (most of the time you did)
- Leave out pieces that are messy (like the move around 0:41)
- Try different angles, heights etc.

All in all, it is already pleasant to watch!
