Social Media Clue Sparks Speculation: Is Joe Roberts Set for a MotoGP Move with Aprilia?

Is a social media post suggesting a major change in the MotoGP rider lineup?

A practice session at Laguna Seca may set the stage for a significant rider transfer.

Randy Mamola's social media post could suggest a significant development in the rider market puzzle.

The experienced motorcyclist shared an image featuring Wayne Rainey and Max Biaggi.

Next to the icons? Joe Roberts…

With a hint of mischief, Mamola captioned the photo of Roberts and Biaggi engaged in a serious discussion with the word "hmmmm."

The team was cycling on the course at Laguna Seca.

The importance lies in the fact that MotoGP legend Biaggi has been appointed as a brand ambassador for Aprilia.

The Italian company is strongly associated with promoting Moto2 rider Roberts to MotoGP through their Trackhouse initiative.

Trackhouse, which underwent a rebranding this year and stands as the sole US team in the top-tier category, may be considering an American rider for their motorcycle in the upcoming season.

Roberts is a perfect example.

"Last month, his manager John Hopkins informed TNT Sports that they are currently in discussions with several teams."

"A few teams have shown interest in Joe."

This week, Trackhouse announced that Raul Fernandez has agreed to a new contract that extends through 2025 and 2026.

However, there is uncertainty surrounding the future of Fernandez's teammate, Miguel Oliveira.

According to Sky Italia, Oliveira is set to join Pramac Yamaha next season, leaving his Trackhouse bike open for a new rider.

This week, Roberts joining Aprilia’s Biaggi on the track in America presents an interesting clue.

He holds the third position in the Moto2 rankings as they approach the upcoming race at Silverstone next weekend.
