Classy Marc Marquez reclaims COTA crown with victory The eight-time World Champion earned a seventh win in Austin as Quartararo extends Championship lead to 52 points The King of COTA is back. A faultless display from Marc Marquez handed the Repsol Honda Team star a magnificent seventh win at the Circuit of The Americas, as the number 93 stormed to a second victory of 2021. Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) extended his World Championship lead with a second place at the Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas, with third place finisher Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) now 52 points shy of the Frenchman with three races to go. Captain America storms Austin once more Plan A was executed to perfection by Marc Marquez from third on the grid, the number 93 grabbed the holeshot as Quartararo also got the better of polesitter Bagnaia. The latter then lost another place to the fast-starting Alex Rins (Team Suzuki Ecstar) on the opening lap, with Pecco then getting demoted to P5 as Jorge Martin (Pramac Racing) carved his way past on Lap 2. Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda Idemitsu) was the first crasher of the race, the Japanese rider was sixth when he tumbled at Turn 12 on the second lap. Further back, Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team) was making good progress on the hard rear Michelin tyre from 10th on the grid, the Aussie grabbed a two-for-one deal at Turn 12 to pass Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Joan Mir (Team Suzuki Ecstar) on Lap 3 for sixth place. After dispatching Rins, Martin was being a nuisance for Championship leader Quartararo, as Marc Marquez stretched his lead to a second for the first time. Miller, having passed teammate Pecco, was now ahead of Rins in P4 and was the man on the move. Bagnaia, in turn, was struggling to keep up with the top five in sixth. Lap 8 of 20 ticked by and a 2:04.368 was slammed in by Marc Marquez, his lead was now up to 1.5s over Quartararo. With 11 to go, that gap had been stretched to 2.3s, with Quartararo a second clear of Martin. Miller was half a second down on his fellow Ducati rider, and 1.3s behind was Pecco, who had started to find some rhythm – the Italian passing Rins. Pecco then latched onto the back of teammate Miller, before the latter allowed Pecco through with every point in the title race absolutely critical at this stage, especially with Quartararo P2 with eight laps remaining. Now, the question was: could Bagnaia catch and pass Martin for third? With four laps to go, the gap was suddenly nothing, with Martin seemingly looking down at his dashboard a few times. Was Martin struggling, or were Ducati intervening? Well, it wouldn’t matter in the end, with Martin being handed a Long Lap Penalty for not losing enough time at Turns 4 and 5 when he had a front end moment. In the end though, Captain America returned to reign once again in Austin. Marc Marquez gave Repsol Honda Team their 450th premier class podium with a classy ride at COTA, as Quartararo takes a second place that gives him his first match point of the season next time out at Misano. Bagnaia recovered well to claim P3, but its ground lost in the Championship chase. The points scorers in Texas Rins was able to finish P4 after profiting from Martin’s Long Lap Penalty, the latter unlucky to finish 5th after another fantastic ride. Sixth place went the way of Enea Bastianini (Avintia Esponsorama) who benefits from a clash between Mir and Miller on the final lap, with the Rookie of the Year battle close between Martin and Bastianini heading into the final three races. Mir’s move on Miller at Turn 15 saw the reigning World Champion receive a one place penalty, contact was made with Miller coming worse off. Mir crossed the line in P7 with Miller P8, that result is switched after the penalty, as Binder and Pol Espargaro (Repsol Honda Team) completed the top 10. Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) takes home a lonely P11 with Alex Marquez (LCR Honda Castrol), Andrea Dovizioso (Petronas Yamaha SRT), Luca Marini (SKY VR46 Avintia) and Valentino Rossi (Petronas Yamaha SRT), The Doctor securing a point in his final Grand Prix appearance in America. Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini) and Johann Zarco (Pramac Racing) crashed out unhurt on Sunday afternoon. A dream return to COTA for Marc Marquez then, the King returns to reclaim his Austin crown. Equally as happy is Quartararo, a 52-point advantage means he can win the 2021 title next time out at Misano.

MotoGP™ riders discuss the Moto3™ crash in Austin Marc Marquez, Quartararo, Bagnaia, Rossi & Mir discuss the terrifying crash that unfolded at COTA and Öncü’s subsequent penalty It was a terrifying incident that, thankfully, everyone was able to walk away from. After contact with Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Tech3) on COTA’s 1.2km back straight in the restarted Moto3™ Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas race, Jeremy Alcoba (Indonesian Racing Gresini Moto3) crashed. The incident saw Alcoba go down in front of the chasing pack, with Andrea Migno (Rivacold Snipers Team) and World Championship leader Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo) unable to avoid Alcoba’s stricken Honda. The trio of riders who crashed heavily at high speed – Alcoba, Migno and Acosta – were able to walk away, as the second red-flagged Moto3™ race of the day ultimately led to Izan Guevara (Solunion GASGAS Aspar Team) securing a maiden Grand Prix victory. Later in the afternoon, the FIM MotoGP™ Stewards confirmed that Öncü was deemed to have caused the crash, and therefore handed the Turkish rider a two-race suspension. At the end of Sunday’s action in Austin, some of the MotoGP™ riders had their say on what had happened. Marc Marquez: “Of course today was a scary moment and on the TV… I mean everybody in my box was silent because you never know and it’s a difficult season for the motorcycle world. But it’s true that it was the mistake or movement of one rider that created all these things. “So I think it’s a very strong penalty of course, of course it wasn’t intentional of Öncü, but it’s true that they must go on that way if they want to stop these movements. You can’t change your line too aggressively in the middle of the straight because you can create these things. For me, this is the way, especially in the small categories, to stop these movements.” Fabio Quartararo: “Yes, the last three accidents we had have been in the small categories. It’s true that for them the slipstream is really important, but you can’t change your line on the straight. For me, you need to think well about the strategy you need to have in Moto3, but you can’t make that. For sure it wasn’t intentional by Deniz, but unfortunately we need to have – I think – big penalties that have some strange movements on the straight especially.” Francesco Bagnaia: “It’s not the first time we’ve seen something like this in Moto3. In Barcelona also, Rodrigo did the same but with more luck, because there wasn’t an accident. We are seeing a lot of strange movements, we are also lucky that here the straight is very large and the wall is a bit far. And nothing. It’s good he received this type of penalty, but it’s the only way for sure to start to change something, but they have to think of something more because like this, it will always be very dangerous.” Valentino Rossi: “So, I don’t want to say about Öncü or another rider, but for me the penalty is right. They had to do something. It’s a minimum that he has to spend two races at home, because they have to do something serious because the situation is completely out of control for me. “Öncü moved in the straight when he knows he has another rider alongside and cuts across. That potentially was a mortal crash. I was very scared for everybody. Acosta made a terrifying crash and they are very lucky nothing happened. But they have to do something serious with these young guys from the beginning. The situation has to change before something happens. Motorcycle racing is too dangerous to have this behaviour on track. “You have to respect your safety and the safety of your rival, and this is the most important thing than gaining one position because here you play with the lives of young guys and it’s potentially a disaster.” Joan Mir: “About that, I saw the face of Deniz. He was just destroyed before on the end of the first race. He just didn’t make it on purpose. He’s not the only one that does this manoeuvre. I think that the penalty is not only for the manoeuvre that he did. It’s just more that the others stop doing this. It’s just a model of punishment. So, I agree with that one. We cannot have these type of manoeuvres anymore. “We lost this year a lot of kids and today we almost lost another one. So, we have to take some good decisions because these categories, the small ones with those bikes that are so easy and the big groups, I think that this is becoming so, so, so dangerous. There’s not any leader on that Championship that he breaks away and does this stuff. The groups are always really big. I was not happy before my race. It’s not easy for the riders to see such a crash. I don't know what will be the measure, but we will need it soon because if not, it will happen some bad thing again. It’s like this.” With the race declared a result at the end of the first red-flagged stoppage, Acosta takes a 30-point advantage into the Gran Premio Nolan del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia-Romagna over second place COTA finisher Dennis Foggia (Leopard Racing).

He was yesterday. It was good to at least have the familiar to him track to talk about. I think he got out everything there was in the bike. Roberts? Is there a problem at Italtrans because Della Porta isn't having much of season either.
