Joe Roberts, twenty-six year old motorcyclist originally from Malibu (California), photo model look, together with the American Racing Team sponsored OnlyFans, surfer in his free time. Above all, in light of the verdicts of the Jerez Grand Prix, new leader of the Moto2 World Championship. Here it is: if you were to provide Liberty Media with this profile-description, the new great leaders in the making of MotoGP will be in a state of jujube. Today an American, fast and with the right identikit, serves the movement like hotcakes. Even more so in this historical period.
FROM ON ANY SUNDAY TO MOTOGP
Imagining a “Ride to Survive“, Joe Roberts would be the right protagonist to drive the American public crazy. With the look you need, no less with a motorcycling story to tell. Born in 1997, at the age of 3 he rode a motorcycle for the first time, without ever abandoning it. Getting passionate about this world by watching with dad “On any Sunday“, protagonist Steve McQueen. Enough and more to get into the good graces of even the toughest and purest motorcyclists.
MULTI-PURPOSE MOTORCYCLIST
Joe Roberts had the chance to try them all on a motorbike: flat track, supermotard, then the track. Speed has always been in his power, so much so that in 2010 he surprisingly passed the selections for the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, where he remained and raced for the following three years. Winning a crazy race in Brno ready-to-go, starting from the back of the group, catching everyone up on a wet track. He first, without giving himself an explanation: in Malibu the rain is something unknown.
KEEP THE MOTOGP, I’M STAYING IN MOTO2
Together with his brother (aspiring actor) bass player of a band called Red Tambourine, the good Joe in Moto2 has now reached the top after showing good things in the recent past. Followed today as then by an Italian crew chief of proven experience and professionalism of the caliber of Mario Martini, cradling the MotoGP dream. Rejected in November 2020: Aprilia needed a replacement for the disqualified Andrea Iannone, Roberts (by the way: no family ties to Kenny Senior, Junior and Kurtis, clearly) said no. “I’m staying in Moto2“, at the time just contracted by the Italtrans team, World Champion with Enea Bastianini. In 2024, presumably, he will reach the top class with an RS-GP, but the stars and stripes one from the Trackhouse team. To live the American Dream, with the hope (via Liberty Media) at the same time of making everyone on the other side of the Atlantic dream.
