Trackhouse Racing entered MotoGP this year and one of its goals is to potentially have a rider from its own country – when there is none in the premier class. However, team principal Davide Brivio assured that it is not an obligation.
In an interview with Manuel Pecino, the Italian talked about the possibility of an American rider joining in the future: ‘We are an American team. We said it would be good to have an American rider, but it is not an obligation‘.
Despite the vision of developing motorcycling in the USA, Brivio assured that there is no pressure for the team to have a rider from its own country:
– In my opinion, it would be good if at Trackhouse we could contribute a bit to the growth of American motorcycling. Maybe try to do something, maybe a small Academy or something in America to see if we can bring some American riders. But it’s not a big pressure.
At this time, the American rider best positioned to reach MotoGP is Joe Roberts. He currently competes in Moto2 and leads the championship after four rounds, having already been speculated as a target for Trackhouse Racing for 2025.
