Every rider deserves the chance to follow a road as long and wide as their talent allows. At least, that's how it would be in a perfect world.
Earlier this year, I was speaking to my racing coach about the lack of diversity in MotoGP, and in particular, the lack of riders from the US. There's no shortage of tracks in the States, and racing takes money, which is something there's also plenty of in the USA. So why haven't we had a US MotoGP rider since Nicky Hayden? The answer: There's no feeder system.
