Peter Lenz - Why isn't he famous?

[Karadjas]

He doesn't like mayonnaise, has a dinosaur on his back, rides a 22hp bike on 400-lap old tyres and is killing people in the bendy bits. They aren't pros (they're in superbike school), but they're on big boy bikes.

The track record holder is losing traction trying to keep up with the kid in the corners.

He's not just beating newbies, he kicked butt in the mod50 class with a stock NSR50 when he was 9.

His driving is greatly influenced by Rossi, late breaking, using the weight advantage of his bike doing the outer line and very agressive where he has the upper hand. You have no idea how man talents like this are getting lost every now and then. Really hope he shines cause he looks like he puts effort in this.

I truly hope that this kid is brought up into the GP ranks better than John Hopkins was. Dorna and MotoGP, with RedBull, have strong programs now to bring young riders up onto the world stage. It would be great to see a kid come out of the US and into a series of World Championships the way Rossi did in his teenage years.
