Getting this much attention at 19 is no ordinary talent. I've seen plenty of young riders trackside, and genuine speed shows through regardless of age or gender. Whether Kayla Yaakov can become the 'face' at the top level will be decided entirely by how she rides from here. But if she has what it takes to silence the attention with pure ability, she'll be a huge asset for the racing world.

Getting hyped up as 'the next face of motorcycle racing' turns brutal fast if the results don't follow.

Getting a feature in The Athletic at 19, Kayla Yaakov's clearly a rider to watch.
