Kensei Matsudaira is 14 years old. He has been racing since he was four. He holds multiple national championships in MotoAmerica, Supermoto, and Speedway, and he represented the United States at the FIM Speedway World Cup.

Now he's competing in Premoto3 in the Spanish championship, the same junior class that feeds into the Moto3 World Championship. He's doing it as a privateer with no factory support.

In this episode, we sit down with Kensei and his father Kuni to hear the full story. How it started, what it costs to race at this level as a family, and where the road goes from here.

This is an honest look at what it takes for a young American rider to chase MotoGP.
