The 1st picture is great, even better if you could have kept the rider focused and panned with a longer exposure to really blur the track.
The second picture doesn't do it for me. The bike looks static... it could be parked there with the two guys just leaning together. A better picture may have been finding the inside of a slower corner and positioning yourself so the bike occupants were leaning and looking right at you. With a camera, you have lots of options for making them look fast, even if they're only going around the corner at 20kph.
The third picture is awesome. Like the second, the bike is pretty static, but the composition of the track's curves put motion to the bike. It's very dynamic, even with a static rider, which is IMO the whole point (and hardest part) of a good race picture: show the motion with a still image. My only complaint would be the fence in the foreground. Granted, having something there helps the depth of the image, but I think the line across the bottom of the curve detracts from it. 'Course there's not all that much you can do... tracks have fences. It would also be interesting to see what that shot looks like with the bike in different parts of the corner, or with multiple bikes, but the one you got is really good nonetheless.
