It is with much regret that Celtic Racing would like to announce that Patrick ‘PJ’ Jacobsen, the current USGPRU 125cc Champion will no longer be running with the team for the remainder for the season. PJ has become the first American rider ever to be accepted to ride with the Red Bull MotoGP Academy. Having tested with the Academy throughout the season in Spain, PJ was finally accepted after he turned 14 years old earlier this month. Riding a familiar RS125 Honda PJ will contest the final four races of the Spanish Championship. On behalf of PJ, Celtic Racing would like to sincerely thank the USGPRU for giving him the opportunity to race at such an early age and the stepping stone that has brought him to this ‘chance of a lifetime’ opportunity. The most disappointing element of the 2007 season for PJ is that he will miss the 2007 USGPRU final this weekend at Mid Ohio. He currently leads the standings by 40 points but can lose the Championship to Japenese exile, Nobi Iso who must win at Ohio to take the title. Celtic Racing wishes PJ every success as he bids to become America’s future MotoGP star. We at Celtic Racing cannot deny the talent and desire that PJ has and we stand proud as a team that PJ wore his Celtic Racing colors with such pride.
