Justin Marks, the owner of Trackhouse, expressed a desire to see an American rider succeed in MotoGP during the Silverstone GP weekend. He noted that the next potential American champion is likely only three years old, indicating a long-term vision for the sport in the U.S. Trackhouse aims to bridge the gap between MotoGP and American audiences, recalibrating its efforts in light of Liberty Media's recent involvement in the league. Marks emphasized the lack of a youth development system in the U.S. for aspiring riders, contrasting it with the European model. He aims for Trackhouse to help foster young American talent for the future.

"The next American MotoGP world champion is probably just three years old," Marks said on the sidelines of the Silverstone GP weekend, per SPEEDWEEK.com.
