Americans Cameron Beaubier, Sean Dylan Kelly, and Joe Roberts are wrapping up the 2022 MotoGP season at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain. For Beaubier, it is his final race in Moto2, as he is slated to rejoin the MotoAmerica Superbike class in 2023. Kelly and Roberts plan to be with their current teams – American Racing Team and Italtrans Racing Team, respectively, for next season. They were joined in the paddock on Friday by Nathan Gouker and Ryder Davis, two young American racers who competed in the FIM MiniGP World Series at the circuit’s kart track on Thursday.
