All three MotoAmerica riders (one current and two former) finished inside the top 10 in their respective race classes at the Tissot Grand Prix of the United Kingdom.
OnlyFans American Racing Team’s Joe Roberts started Sunday’s Moto2 race in 14th and on the middle of the fifth row of the grid at Silverstone Circuit in England. Roberts advanced methodically up through the field during the 17-lap event, and he moved into eighth position on the final lap aboard his Kalex-Triumph to notch his best result so far this season.
In the British Talent Cup, which also took place at Silverstone Circuit, Mortimer Racing’s Julián Correa—an American rider who will also race for Jones Honda next weekend at Road America in the MotoAmerica Parts Unlimited By Motul Talent Cup—qualifed sixth and climbed to as high as second place during Saturday’s 10-lap Race 1, ultimately finishing just off the podium in fourth aboard his Honda NSF250R. According to Correa’s father Michael, “Julián led a couple laps and made some great moves. A small mistake on the last lap put him back into seventh with four corners to go but he managed to cross the line P4.”
Fellow American Joshua Raymond Jr., who previously raced in MotoAmerica’s Mission Mini Cup by Motul, is also racing this season in the British Talent Cup, and he qualified ninth but unfortunately slipped back to 14th by the time he crossed the finish line in Race 1 on Saturday aboard his Fibre Tec Honda by Mlav Racing machine.
In Sunday’s British Talent Cup Race 2, fortunes flipped for the two Americans. Raymond Jr. improved to a fifth-place finish in the encore event at Silverstone, while Correa moved up to second position on lap four but unfortunately suffered a tipover and was unable to finish the race.
