Trackhouse MotoGP’s 2025 Lineup: Brivio Weighs In Amid Roberts, Ogura, and Miller Speculation

Davide Brivio provides details on discussions with Trackhouse MotoGP rider

Television segment reveals conversations with Joe Roberts, fueling rumors about the second Trackhouse position

The Trackhouse MotoGP team has confirmed one rider for its 2025 lineup, but there is still a lot of uncertainty about who will join Raul Fernandez.

The Aprilia satellite team, which stepped in for the now-defunct RNF squad in 2024, has recently confirmed that they have extended Fernandez's contract until the conclusion of 2026.

Throughout much of this year, there have been strong rumors suggesting that the American-owned team might advance Joe Roberts from Moto2 to their lineup for the 2025 season.

Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version of the text:

—

During the weekend of the Dutch Grand Prix, TNT Sport recorded a segment featuring Trackhouse team boss Davide Brivio, which included conversations with Roberts and was aired during the British Grand Prix.

Brivio posed a question to the Californian, asking, "Whether you finish first or second in the championship, the outcome is 'X'. With that in mind, how do you feel about MotoGP? Do you consider yourself prepared?"

"I believe I'm prepared and assured to handle any motorcycle at this moment," Roberts responded.

In the lead-up to the British Grand Prix last weekend, it was reported that Ai Ogura, a Moto2 title contender alongside Roberts, is expected to join Trackhouse for the next season. Additionally, there were rumors about Jack Miller, who is leaving KTM, potentially making the move as well.

John Hopkins, the rider coach for the American Racing Moto2 team, declined to speak on discussions suggesting that Roberts' chances with Trackhouse are now unlikely.

Nonetheless, he mentioned that Roberts’ prospects of advancing to MotoGP remain unchanged.

During the British Grand Prix, Hopkins stated to motogp.com, "To be honest, I would rather not make any remarks on that at the moment."

"As I mentioned earlier, our current priority is to secure the championship victory."

Joe remains hopeful about attending GP. Our primary goal is to secure as many victories as possible and win the championship for the team.

“Joe consistently rides with a sense of determination and has numerous reasons driving his motivation.”

"He’s simply doing what he’s skilled at. It serves as extra motivation, but he remains concentrated."

Since Nicky Hayden, the 2006 world champion, wrapped up his final season with the Aspar team in 2015, there has been no American rider competing full-time in MotoGP.

The most recent instance of an American racer competing in the top category was when World Superbike competitor Garrett Gerloff filled in for the injured Franco Morbidelli at the 2021 Dutch Grand Prix, riding for Petronas SRT Yamaha.

As of the tenth round in 2024, Roberts holds the third position in the rankings, having secured three podium finishes and one victory, trailing Sergio Garcia by 37 points.

Roberts was unable to participate in the Dutch Grand Prix because of an injury and had an accident at the British Grand Prix last weekend.
