1/200 seems a bit too slow to really get a good shot out of these... but that 1/1600 seems like it should be substantially better.
Oh well, now that the info is available maybe someone else can troubleshoot...

Find out how to set your shutter priority in the camera & set it to 1/1600 or 1/2000 & see how you go next time...i recon those blurs will disappear.
That camera in that light should return great sharp photos...you just need a good deal more shutter speed.
Also agree with Mark. In fact, it's sometimes not a bad idea to go to an event with the thought in mind of specifically practicing one or two particular aspects of shooting. For instance, shooting in shutter priority and panning. These two things are part and parcel of each other.
You can set shutter speed relatively high (e.g. 1/500) and pan shots with the bikes going across you. Then throughout the race and/or meeting gradually lower your shutter speeds. Gives you an idea how slow you can go while still maintaining image sharpness. You'll also notice how at the faster shutter speeds the bikes will look parked with the wheels frozen and the spokes clearly visible, while the slower you shoot the faster the bikes will look.
With the more head-on shots, you can shoot with much faster shutter speeds, but you still need to be sure you're holding the camera VERY steady - otherwise blurry shots.
Just a couple of quick thoughts.
Oh and that doesn't even begin to adjust post-processing images to bring out the best in them. However, the key really is to get it right at the absolute beginning - in the camera.
Persistence and practice are the key.
Hope that helps,

Let's try setting shutter speed at 1/800 (shutter priority). That's one less thing the camera has to for each shot. Set the ISO to ...try 400. Take some test shots to see how the excposure looks. If dark, raise the ISO. The aperture will change as the lens is zoomed - in or out.
I think the higher shutter soeed will help greatly. On the last shot with 1/1600 shutter, how close was that bike to and what is min focusing distance of that lens??? If the rider was within that min distance, then it can't focus.
Using continuous AF? Should be. And start tracking the rider before hi/she gets to sot for best image. And shoot a few frames before he reaches that spot.
Let's see what this 'testing' does for you.
Keep shootin'
