Kayla Yaakov & PJ Jacobsen Sit Down: 2026 MotoAmerica Season Wrap-Up | Kayla Yaakov

Video Description from YouTube:

I sat down with two of MotoAmerica’s top talents—Kayla Yaakov and PJ Jacobsen—for an honest conversation about their 2026 seasons and the coaching schools they run when they’re not on the grid.

Kayla talks about her historic 2026 Supersport campaign with Rahal Ducati Moto. At just 19, she became the first woman ever to podium at the Daytona 200, set multiple poles and lap records, scored consistent top-five finishes, and closed the year third in the championship—making her the first female rider to finish inside the top three of a MotoAmerica Supersport season.

PJ reflects on his first full year in the Superbike class aboard the new Ducati Panigale V4 R with Rahal Ducati Moto / XPEL. He shares the highs (podiums, poles, and fastest laps), the challenges of developing the new bike, the crashes and setup battles, and the lessons he’s carrying into 2027.

They also dive into their coaching programs. Both run professional track schools and one-on-one training (including joint supermoto and mini-bike sessions), helping riders from beginners to elite amateurs improve speed, racecraft, and consistency. If you’re interested in getting coached by Kayla or PJ, message them directly on their social media.
