Jesse Janisch
Once viewed largely as TT ace extraordinaire, Jesse Janisch is no mere one-trick pony. While his first six professional race wins were TT victories in AFT Singles action, Janisch has since showed himself to be a dominant all-around threat, culminating in the 2022 Mission Production Twins title aboard a Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson XG750R
The versatile Wisconsin native started riding when he was four and quickly developed a thrilling riding style that he’s put to good use in motocross, supermoto, and roadracing.
Janisch returned to Progressive American Flat Track racing in 2015 after a few seasons away from the sport, and quickly established himself as one of the AFT Singles class’ brightest stars.
After logging back-to-back championship finishes of fifth in 2018 and sixth in 2019, Janisch scored three top tens while running a partial season in 2020.
He was drafted back to competition midway through the ‘21 season by Vance & Hines and repaid them for the chance to revive his career with five top-four finishes in just six Mission Production Twins starts, including a victory at the Charlotte HM season finale.
That impressive form earned Janisch a full season ride with the squad for ‘22, and he promptly won the class championship on the strength of a seven-victory, 13-podium campaign.
Janisch participated in the premier Mission AFT SuperTwins class part-time in 2023 and 2024 while also competing on pavement.
