Kurtis ROBERTS

__
Place of birth: Turloc
Date of birth: 17/Nov/1978
Weight: 70Kg.
Height: 178cm.

Son of former MotoGP legend and three-time former World Champion Kenny Roberts Snr and younger brother of 2000 World Champion Kenny Jnr, Kurtis participated in European competition before moving into the 250cc World Championship in 1997, aged just 17. However, after fruitless spells with Honda and Aprilia, he headed back to the United States to ride in Supersport in 1998. In 1999 he was crowned AMA Pro Honda Series Champion, repeating the feat in 2000 as well as taking the de la Formula Xtreme title. Kurtis made his first premier class Grand Prix appearance in 2001 on his father's Proton 500cc bike as a wildcard at the Malaysian GP. In 2004 Kurtis embarked on his first full season in the MotoGP class – though his campaign was curtailed as he missed several races through injuries and he finished 29th overall after scoring just one point. The American then went back to compete Stateside in AMA once more, though 2005 also saw him make another solitary appearance for his father's MotoGP team at Valencia. In June 2007 Kurtis returned to the Team Roberts pit-box to assist with the development of the KR212V, with his brother Kenny Jnr taking a temporary break from racing whilst the new 800cc machine is improved by the Oxfordshire based team.
