When Trackhouse came to MotoGP there was some optimistic speculation that Joe Roberts might have a shot at going to MotoGP with them next year. Frankly, I thought, this was never going to happen. One Moto2 win in the previous seven years. From 2020 through 2023, finishing 7th, 13th, 9th and 13th in the Moto2 Championship. In my mind, his trajectory seemed headed to MotoAmerica. Now, with one-third of the season done, he's riding consistently and only trailing by 7 points? Wow. I wonder what has made the difference? He's back with American Racng Team - is John Hopkins coaching him now? Any other insights?

Yankee colonist, former doubting Thomas, now with fingers-crossed...

 

Agreed, Been watching him since his CEV days and never saw this coming. I was impressed with the way he rode the last couple of laps today. I'm used to seeing him go backwards from an initial good position and I thought it was going to happen again after Lopez and Gonzalez passed him. So glad he stayed in there to ultimately put in an impressive, fantastic fight.

In separate interviews Hopper and Joe said that the difference with this year is that he is more focused on the here and now, as opposed to thinking too far ahead, which is keeping him calmer and apparently consistently fast

Throw on top of that a Pirelli tyre he seems to like that allows him to brake and corner more naturally and you’ve got yourselves a man who could put in a season long fight for the championship and might very well go places next year.

Great to see him battle it out. That’s what was missing. Go Joe!

Joe also said he is thriving more with English being the primary language in his team. (Any snark regarding Americans knowing so few languages is likely warranted. Some of us find knowing some Spanish helpful for our Latin friends, but forgive us just a tad...we are so far away from anyone not speaking like us compared to most countries! And so much media is USA centric that we can't even understand Gordo in English easily).

Joe says he has matured as well, settling into himself more fully. He seems happy! Enjoying seeing him there.
