Kristian Daniel Jr. is 16 years old and racing in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, one of the most competitive junior series in the world. He earned his spot against riders from dozens of countries and is now lining up on the same Grand Prix circuits as MotoGP.

In this episode, Kristian talks about the jump from U.S. racing to the European stage, what it takes to compete in the Rookies Cup, and how he handles the pressure of international competition at his age.

We also talk about his friendship with fellow American racer Kensei Matsudaira, the mental side of racing, and the family support system behind his career.

This is part of our Young Guns series spotlighting the next generation of motorcycle racing talent.
