A social media post from Randy Mamola may 🅠hint at a major piece of the rider market jigsaw.

The veteran🔯 rider posted a picture of Wayne ✱Rainey and Max Biaggi.

Alongside the legends? Joe Roberts…

Mamola cheekily wroꦦte “hmmmm” as he posted the picture of Roberts deep in conversation with Biaggi.

The group were riding on track at Laguna Seca.

The significance is that Biaggi🐓, the MotoGP icon, is now a brand ambassador🌌 for Aprilia.

Trackhouse, rebranded this yea🙈r and the only US team in the premier class, might want an American presence on their bike next year.

Roberts fits the mould.

“We are speaking to a couple of teams right n꧅ow,” his manager John Hopkins told TNT Spo🧸rts last month.

“There are a couple of teams interested in Joe.”

Trackhouse this🔴 week confirmed that Raul Fernandez had signed a new contract for 2025 and 2026.

But Fernandez’s 🧸teammate Miguel Oliveira’s future is unclear.

Sky Italia report that Oliveira will sign with Pramac Yamaha next season whic💟h would make hiౠs Trackhouse bike vacant.

Roberts riding on-track wi🍨th Aprilia’s Biaggi in America this week is an intriguing hint.

He is currently third🎶 in the Moto2 standings ahead of the next round, n♛ext weekend at Silverstone.
