Good for him. He turned some heads in CEV.

 

Didn't AGR have an American light bulb company as a sponsor a few years back with West or someone riding the bike? I think that was the rider/ team that Porkchop had the twitter pissing match with? Edit - It was Gino Rea in ~ 2104, my mistake. He raced for the AGT Rea team.

Wow, I had forgotten Hernandez had moved down and almost completely about him. Sucks that he got the axe.

 

Yonny had some good showings on the Duc over the years, surprised to see him only 20th in the Moto2 standings.

Great news for Joe Roberts!!!

 

Great to hear for Joe. Will be fun to watch him this year.

 

Great news for Joe, indeed. Hope he can keep progressing forward.

@John29 on the money again about talent!

 

THIS IS FANTASTIC!

It's a shame for Yonny, but there are some pretty strong rumors that he'll be back in MotoGP next year, so this wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for him. Five years after racing big bikes, I imaging returning to a 600 would be difficult.

Good luck to both of these guys. GIVE 'EM HELL JOE!

 

This is awesome! Another US guy to root for..now we have 1 on WSBK and 1 on MotoGP weekends.

 

I approve. The boy can motor.

 

This is Great News!!!

Does it seam like this "Summer Break" is stupid long? Cant Wait Anymore, Lets G0 Already!!!!

 

awesome!

 

Roberts really came into his own those last 2 years in MA. Kinda makes me wonder though, how Gerloff or Beach with do with a Moto2 seat.

 

He crashed in one of the CEV races last weekend and still finished in 11th place.

 

Is this team/bike going to allow Joey's full potential to be shown?

 

I agree with this... one of those two would be good to see over there

 

He is in the CEV National Moto2 series. Not the World Moto2 series that runs in MotoGP weekends.

Unless I'm missing something and he recently bumped up to Moto2 (World level).

 

Isn't he the last one American to win in the World Rookies Cup? Was hoping his talent would come through. Plus, he or his parents/management are smart enough to send over seas asap.

 

Quick edit there
