AMA Superbike Championship runner-up Blake Young is make his MotoGP debut, riding for Attack Performance as a wild-card in the threꦕe US rounds.

Young takes over the Attack CRT ride from Steve Rapp, wh🦩o debuted the Kawasaki-p༺owered machine at Laguna Seca and Indianapolis last season.

Rapp didn't qualify for the US GP but finished 15th💮 at Indy - ahead of fellow wild-card Aaron Yates (GPTech) - which then became 14💛th 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 an American team at the American rounds."

GP🌃Tech is also due to r𒀰eturn for the three US events - the new round at Austin, Texas on April 21 joining Laguna Seca and Indianapolis.

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