Kayla Yaakov needs to be in Moto2 ?

[cirian75]

Those who have been paying attention this 19 year old US lady is doing well in Moto America Supersports

3rd at the 2026 Daytona and is a podium regular.

Never mind the fact she's a woman, she is 19 year old skilled rider who should get the chance at the big show.

I think needs to be in Moto2 or the Spanish SSP championship.

Let's see how she does in the Championship overall...
She's currently 67 points behind Darryn Binder, Brad's brother who was pilloried in his MotoGP times but is actually a very decent racer.
If she does get an offer for Moto2, it's likely to be a pay to ride set up with a lower tier team, in which case, would that be a backward step?
The other issue is Moto America is a small series, and being a big fish in a small pond isn't the way to get the wider worlds attention. Hate to say it, maybe 19 is too late to be moving to the Moto class if you haven't spent time in the feeder Spanish championships or Moto3

Personally I think she should be aiming for world supersport rather than moto 2.

Would be interesting to see her in World Supersport too... Carrasco is nowhere with a best result of 27th this year and 22nd last year.

I would like to see her in the WCR to see how see goes.

I can think of at least 3 riders that I would like to see in moto 2/3 before her TBH..
