Rumou🗹rs from inside 💜the MotoGP paddock have been shared which could pose a problem for Joe Roberts.

The Moto2 star🌸 wants to become the only American rider in MotoG🎐P next season.

But a major hurdle has arisen at Aprilia’s satellite project, Trackhouse, who rebranded to a US-backed team th🅰is year so appear the like⛦liest destination for Roberts.

“Every🔯thing is there except one really important fact༺or,” TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson revealed.

“We did some digging on thi🍷s, speaking to important pe𓂃ople.

“The issue Joe has got, be🦂lieve it or not, is the team manager Davide Brivio.

﷽“I’m not going to say [Brivio] is not a fan. He’s incredibly experienced, has been brought into Trackhouse because he’s the man with all the experience.

“Trac💃khouse trust Brivio to make thওe decision on riders.

“He’s looking at Joe and sayi🃏ng ‘if I’ve got the choice of bringing the best riders to this team, there are riders I’d put in front of Joe’.

“First and foremost, more experienced riders.

“He’s no𒅌t co✱nvinced that Joe is the man for the job, that’s what I’ve been told.

“🐠You can’t argue with what I’m going to say - you’d keep Miguel Oliveira in front of him. Oliveira has won five MotoGP races. Move Miguel aside to pu෴t Roberts in?

“Then put Jack Miller in. Miller is out of♊ a job and will go wherever he can get a r📖ide.

“Joan Mir? People say he will definitely stay at Honda, and he might do. But is Mir available? Is Aꦫle♓x Rins available?

“Brivio, the Trackhouse manager, has to deal with it. That’s what I’ve been told🃏. It’s not my opinion. That’s the inside gossip.”

Sylvain Guintoli insists Roberts does deserve the step up into🐬 the premier class.

“Yeah I think so,” he said. “He’s got a lot of experience 🎃and, this year, he’s showing a different side.

“He’s going great, doing really special rides. He looks good. If it happe🍸ns, it’s got to happ❀en now. Everything is there for it to happen.”
