AMA Superbike Championship runner-up Blake Young is make his MotoGP debut, ✅riding for Attack Performance as a wild-card in the three U♈S rounds.

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

Rapp didn't qualify for the US GP but finished 15th at Indy - a𝔉head of fellow wild-card Aꦏaron 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 something I've always wanted to do. Maybe CRT is the future and I'd like to be on anꦡ 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 Indianap💟olis.

Nicky Hayden, Ben Spies and Colin Edwards will again represent America 🌌during the full MotoGP season.
