Hello there ladies and gentlemen, I know there aren't many posters but sure do see a lot of lurkers on here, so without further I do:
The North American Talent Cup is a newly formed organization by the FIM with the goal of exposing and giving opportunities to young upcoming talent in North America in the hopes that they can step up into the world stage. This cup falls in the likes of the Asia Talent Cup and the Red Bull Rookies talent cup (as I'm sure some of you may have heard of) and from within those organizations, many of the top riders we know today came up through the ranks of those organizations. As some of you who may follow racing and are aware, the US is coming into the world racing stage in a very strong manner as of late since the days of Nicky Hayden/Colin Edwards/John Hopkins with Garrett Gerloff in WSBK for GYTR Yamaha and has now had a couple of wild card appearances in MotoGP for Yamaha, Cameron Beaubier, Joe Roberts and also now Sean Kelley participate in Moto2. So with this said, the Motorcycle Racing Association (MRA which is the local road racing club in CO for those of you who may not know) worked very hard in the off-season to make this happen and I cannot stress enough how important this is for the future of our beloved sport. This will take place during the MRA race weekend May 7-8 at High Plains Raceway so I strongly encourage people to come out and watch some great racing and support our future generation of riders! Jayden Fernandez who is a local racer in the MRA will be a participant in the talent cup so definitely show our locals some love and support! I will try my best to fly out there for that round if work allows.
