5 Greatest American Racers Of All Time In MotoGP History

1 years ago By Sports Desk

With a rich history, the United States of America has always been a pioneer in the motorsports world. The US has always been the place for innovations in sports, especially motorsports. And it has also given many superb drivers and riders over the years. Over the years, the USA has produced champion drivers who have conquered the circuits of MotoGP. Here is a look at the 5 Greatest American Racers of All Time in MotoGP History. 

1. Kenny Roberts Sr.:

Perhaps the finest MotoGP rider to come out of America is Kenny Roberts Sr. In 1978, he won the MotoGP world championship, becoming the first American to do so. He went on to win two more titles in a row after this, bringing their total to nine. 

2. Eddie Lawson:

Eddie Lawson, who won four MotoGo championships in the 1980s, is arguably the most successful American driver in sports history. As the only MotoGP rider to win consecutive 500cc world championships while using bikes from two different manufacturers, Lawson is well-known. 

3. Wayne Rainey:

In the 500cc class, Wayne Rainey, another legendary racer, won three straight Motogo titles beginning in 1990 and 1930. He is a legend in the motorsports industry thanks to his aggressive riding style.  

4. Freddie Spencer:

Freddie Spencer is a two-time 500cc MotoGP champion, having won in 1983 and 1985. He is regarded as one of the best riders of the early 1980s. A true American by heart and a living aura of the American dream was Freddie Spencer.

5. Kevin Schwantz:

Another legendary American, Kevin Schwantz, won the MotoGP championship once, in 1993. Renowned for his intense velocity and forceful riding, he cleared the path for the burgeoning American riders.

America is the birthplace of great racers and riders. It is a very dominant country in the field of motorsports. We all know how much America had contributed in the development of MotoGP and F1 championships.It also has the world famous NASCAR and INDYCAR series.

But nowadays, MotoGP has not been able to attain publicity in the US. This resulted in kids and youngsters seeking to refrain from racing. So, these are the reasons why there are no MotoGP talents coming from America.
