2010 MotoGP Rookies Cup racers selected
The seven new competitors will join 18 returning MotoGP Rookies who competed in the 2009 Cup. An additional three reserves were selected. The seven new entrants and three reserves were selected from a tryout event at the Adria International Raceway near Venice, Italy.
The tryout consisted of a 15 minute session to become familiar with the track and the 125cc Metrakit Pre GP bikes, followed by two 20 minute tests with groups of seven riders at a time.
Americans Cameron Gish and Ryan Matter were invited to the tryout but neither was chosen by the selection committee.
California natives Jake Gagne, 16, of Ramona, and Ben Solis, 15, of Beverly Hills are among the 18 riders from the 2009 season invited to return.
