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

The veteran rider poste𝕴d a picture of Wayn♓e Rainey and Max Biaggi.

Alongside the legends? Joe Roberts…

Mamola cheekily wrote “hmmmm” as he posted 📖the picture of Roberts deep in conversation with 𒉰Biaggi.

The group were riding on track at Laguna Seca.

The𓆏 significance is that Biaggi, the MotoGP icon, is now a brand amb𒅌assador for Aprilia.

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

Roberts fits the mould.

“We are speaking to a couple of teams right now,” his𒅌 manager John Hopkins told TNT Sports last month.

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

Trackhouse this week confirmed that Raul F🐽ernandez had signed a new contract for 2025 and 2026.

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

Sky Italia report that Oliveira wil🐟l sign with Pramꦇac Yamaha next season which would make his Trackhouse bike vacant.

꧑Roberts riding on-track with Aprilia’s Biaggi in America this week is an intriguing hint.

He is currently third in the Moto2 standings ahead of the next round, next week🅘end at Silverst🍒one.
