Carrying a proud tradition in the sport, boasting no less than seven World Champions throughout the history of the premier class, the USA is ready for their next generation of riders to come to the fore. After a number of years without full-time representation in MotoGP™, a burgeoning set of talents from across the Atlantic are ready to make their mark on the sport, and you can follow their stories in season two of Behind The Stars & Stripes.

Follow the adventures of established Moto2™ rider Joe Roberts as he moves to the Championship winning Italtrans Racing Team at the beginning of last year’s campaign. The Californian had flown the American flag for years on the Grand Prix circuit, but for 2021, five-time American Superbike Champion, Cameron Beaubier joined him in the paddock.

The four-episode series details their journeys to the top, as well as introduces you to Garrett Gerloff, who became the first American since the late, great Nicky Hayden in 2015 to ride in MotoGP™, and Sean Dylan Kelly, who is set to join Beaubier at American Racing for 2022.   

All episodes are available to watch for free on MotoGP™ VideoPass.

In amongst 30 riders vying for a spot in MotoGP™ & Moto2™ championship glory, Joe Roberts & Cameron Beaubier are the USA’s next big hopes.

Moto2™ is brutal. One race you can be fighting for the podium or victory. The next, you could be down and out, nowhere on the results sheet.

After starting the year with high expectations and beginning to meet them, Joe & Cameron find themselves in the school of hard knocks.

In this episode, we meet the third and fourth big hopes for American motorcycle racing: Garrett Gerloff and Sean Dylan Kelly.
