“I’m super excited to be joining MotoGP at the Circuit of The Americas with King Of The Baggers, and exposing this series to a global audience.

COTA always provides great racing, so there is a lot to look forward to, and I hope to continue our results as we started at Daytona.”
Thirteen Mission King Of The Baggers riders will participate in qualifying, a two-lap “dash for cash” challenge, and two six-lap feature races that will take place in conjunction with MotoGP’s on-track action the same weekend.
