AMA Superbike Championsh♊ip runner-up Blake Young is make his MotoGP debut, riding for Attack Performance as a wild-card in the three ๊US rounds.

Young takes over the Attack CRT ride from Steve Rapp, who debuted the 🌺Kawasaki-powered machine꧙ at Laguna Seca and Indianapolis last season.

Rapp didn't q𒁏ualify for the US GP but finished 15th at Indy - ahead of fellow wild-card Aaron Yates (GPTech) - which then became 14th after a post-race penalty for James Ellison.

25-year-old Young, still unsigned for the AMA after losing his Yoshimura Suzuki seat, told CycleNews.com:

"[Attack] gave me a call and asked if I'd be interested... at this point I'm pretty much interested ⭕in anything and I think this is a good opportunity. To be in that [MotoGP] paddock and to learn from those guys... I'm fairly young and that's ඣsomething I've always wanted to do. Maybe CRT is the future and I'd like to be on an American team at the American rounds."

GPTech 💧is also due to return for the three US events - the new round at Austin, Texas on April 21 joining Laguna Seca and Indianapolis.

Nicky Hayden, Ben Spies and Colin Edwards wil♛l again represent America during the full MotoGP season.
