Before the 2008 USGP at Laguna Seca there was an autograph session featuring several riders at Pier 39, a tourist shopping location in San Francisco. I just ran across this image while looking for something else, and noticed that while I can identify eight people in the shot, I don’t know who the kid sitting between Chris Vermeulen and Eric Bostrom is.

Here’s a chance to show off your amazing motorcycle racing knowledge: can you identify that US Red Bull Rookie?

Update: The kid is Joey Pascarella, thanks to Dan Lo for the ID and to Jules Cisek for having this image in his gallery to confirm.

The others I recognize are Toriano Wilson, far left, Jorge Lorenzo, Chris Vermeulen, now we know that’s Joey Pascarella, Eric Bostrum and Ben Bostrum seated at the table. Standing behind Chris Vermeulen is Gavin Emmett, and he’s talking to Phil Baker who is barely visible behind the woman in the Laguna Seca shirt. Glen Coddington of Urban Moto is standing at the left holding a point and shoot camera.
