Bagnaia beats the mind games to take Texas pole The World Champion stamped his authority on COTA with a record-breaking pole position as Martin starts from P12 with two crashes Qualifying quickly came around at the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas, and as ever the premier class did not fail to entertain. The mind games were in full swing in Q2, but the number 1 plated Ducati of Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) held strong to set a new lap record and take pole position at the Circuit of the Americas with a stunning 2:01.892. Alex Rins (LCR Honda Castrol) shocked the paddock as he flew the flag for Honda and secured the middle spot on the front row, with Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) lining up alongside him in P3. And then there were two… You could cut the tension with a knife at the Circuit of the Americas as several big hitters sat in their garages ready to compete for Q2 promotion. Only two could go through as Marco BezzecchI (Mooney VR46 Racing Team), Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac Racing), Joan Mir (Repsol Honda Team), Franco Morbidelli (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™), and Miguel Oliveira (CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP™ Team) were set to do battle in Q1. Marco Bezzecchi and Miguel Oliveira took the initial hold of the Q1 session and put themselves 1st and 2nd in the standings. Whilst Bezzecchi held strong at the top, fast laps came in from Morbidelli and Zarco who bumped Oliveira out of the 2nd Q2 spot with Morbidelli slotting himself in 3rd. The riders returned to the pits and it was time for a change of rubber ready for the final fight for Q2 glory. Bezzecchi was looking strong on his first flyer setting the fastest first sector but pulled out the lap halfway around the lap. The Italian didn't manage to improve on his 2:05.253, but it was no bother for the Italian as his flyer secured him a Q2 spot. Joan Mir put in the first punch of run 2, and with just two-thousandths of a second in it, the Repsol Honda man snatched the final Q2 spot from underneath Zarco's nose. The flag was out and the red sector came flooding in with hot laps coming from Zarco and Morbidelli. Zarco put in an inch-perfect lap and delivered the fastest lap of the session when the pressure was on, pushing Bezzechi down to P2. With Zarco going top this knocked Mir out of Q2 with Morbidelli and Oliveira set to start the Tissot Sprint and Grand Prix from 14th and 15th respectively. Psychological warfare in the battle for pole With Q1 out of the way, it was time for the battle for pole position to commence at the Circuit of The Americas. The banker laps came in and it was Bagnaia who went top, but it was nothing to shout about for the Italian as a 2:02.576 was three-tenths shy of the fastest lap from Friday. One lap later and the red sectors began to light up the timing screens, and it was Bagnaia who moved the goalposts once again with Alex Marquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) matching his lap time of a 2:02.242 just seconds after. With two-tenths to find to reach Martin's pole record from 2022, The Martinator himself crashed out of the session with the airbags deploying on his Alpinestars suit. The punishment didn't fit the crime for the Spaniard as the front end washed away from underneath him. Martin rushed back to pitlane as the riders returned to their garages to prepare for one last bite at the cherry. Bagnaia went to hit the circuit first but pulled to the side of the pitlane after seeing Alex Marquez and Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) shadowing the reigning champion. Despite the Italian trying to shake off his Ducati colleagues, Marquez latched onto the Ducati top dog in hope of finding the perfect tow for a chance at pole. The psychological warfare continued on the out lap as Bagnaia continued to try to shake off the Spaniard with Marquez shadowing his every move. Time was ticking however and it was time to put the hammer down for the Ducati men. Perhaps rattled by the Marquez mind games, Bagnaia set a slow couple of sectors to then make a big mistake on his first flyer and regroup for his final chance with one minute left on the clock. In the meantime, Alex Rins had the bit between his teeth and was focussed on the job at hand. The Spaniard nailed the final sector to set the new fastest lap of the session and knock Bagnaia down to P2. Nothing was stopping the man in Ducati red however as the World Champion made history with the first-ever 2:01 lap of the Circuit of the Americas. Marini shadowed the factory Ducati man to continue his dream weekend and bag himself the final spot on the front row. Martin went back out on the circuit hoping to sprinkle some of his one-lap magic but went down once again losing the front at Turn 2. Alex Marquez also went down and out of the session, but luckily for the Gresini man he had done enough to take the 4th fastest lap of the session and put himself on the front of the second row ahead of Marco Bezzecchi and Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing). The battle from behind The third row will be one to keep an eye on as the lights go out, as the 2021 World Champion is set to start from 7th spot with Maverick Viñales (Aprilia Racing) and Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac Racing) joining the Frenchman in the 8th and 9th. The depth of field in MotoGP™ is as hot as ever, and with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing men of Jack Miller and Brad Binder fronting the fourth row of the grid, the boys in orange cannot be underestimated as Miller will be looking to fight his way through the field with Binder hoping to replicated his incredible Arengtina Tissot Sprint start. With two crashes in Q2, Jorge Martin will be looking to use his strong pace to take like a hot knife through butter and battle through the pack as he lines up on the final spot of the fourth row in P12. Top 10: 1. Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) – 2:01.892 2. Alex Rins (LCR Honda Castrol) +0.160 3. Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) +0.289 4. Alex Márquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) +0.350 5. Marco Bezzecchi (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) +0.376 6. Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia Racing) +0.647 7. Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™) +0.857 8. Maverick Viñales (Aprilia Racing) +0.990 9. Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac Racing) +1.170 10. Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) +1.192

Bagnaia bounces back in Tissot Sprint stunner From pole to victory, Pecco puts in a perfect performance as the action unfolded behind It was drama from the moment the lights went out in the Tissot Sprint at the Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas. Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) lined up on pole position for the first time in 2023, and it was game on as the chasing pack were eager to get the better of the number 1. The factory Ducati man proved his worth and brought home the Tissot Sprint victory leaving the rest of the field to battle it out for the scraps. Alex Rins (LCR Honda Castrol) was in the mood as he brought home a very hard-fought 2nd place as Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) came from 12th on the grid to fend off Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing) for 3rd place. Lights out in Texas The Tissot Sprint at the Circuit of The Americas sprung into life as the lights went out in Austin Texas. It was Alex Rins who got the perfect launch as he took the hole shot into turn 1 before running wide and allowing Bagnaia back through. It only took a few corners before Rins threw his LCR Honda up the inside of Bagnaia before the Italian bit back and used his Ducati power to blast past the Spaniard on the back straight. Meanwhile, Aleix Espargaro and Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™) had also made incredible starts finding themselves in 3rd and 4th respectively. One lap down and Rins was all over the rear wheel of the factory Ducati man before the Spaniard out-braked himself at turn 12, allowing Espargaro through. Quartararo then tried to take advantage and barge his way through making contact with Rins with no space for the Frenchman to get through. Two laps down and Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) had joined the battle out the front, flying his way past Quartararo to move into P4 from 12th on the grid. Quartararo did his best to find off the Ducati rocketships, but the Frenchman was a sitting duck on board his Yamaha YZF-M1. Trying to defend from Alex Marquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) on the brakes, the 2021 World Champion overshot turn 12 allowing the Gresini man through. Half a lap later and Quartararo was on the limit of his Yamaha machine before crashing out of the Sprint at turn 1 and re-joining in 21st place to finish in 19th. Bagnaia began to stretch out the field as he put down a lightning-fast pace on the number 1 plated Ducati, and was running away with it out the front stretching his lead to just over a second with 8 laps to go. Pecco got into his groove onboard his Ducati Desmosedici, putting down a blistering pace that no one could match. The Italian went on stretch his lead to 2.545s, making it look easy as he took the flag, secured the win, and retook control of the MotoGP™ World Championship. Who would be the best of the rest? With Bagnaia checking out it left a battle for 2nd place between Espargaro and Rins. The LCR Honda rider was running all over the rear wheel of the Aprilia in front with several bike lengths in hand to the behind Ducatis of Martin and Marquez battling for 4th. Four laps to go and Rins was determined as ever as he muscled his way past the Aprilia man. The difficult braking point at turn 12 was causing chaos all race long, and as the battle for P2 came to the end of the back straight once again, Rins barrelled into the braking zone ever so slightly over the limit of his LCR Honda. This sucked in Aleix Espargaro who followed Rins into the corner and ran wide, with Alex Marquez also caught out by the entry speed of the riders in front and crashing out of the Tissot Sprint. The drama allowed Rins to run away and take a lonely 2nd place, leaving Martin to fend off a hungry Aleix Espargaro with a battle for the final spot on the podium underway. Last lap time and Espargaro was riding pillion to Martin through the slalom section, desperate to find a way past. The Spaniard wanted to get through on his compatriot before the Ducati could stretch its legs on the back straight, but it wasn't to be for the Aprilia man. The final sector arrived and Espargaro dived up the inside of Martin at the penultimate corner, only to run wide and allow the Prima Pramac Ducati back through leaving Martin to bring it home and round out the podium. Battles all the way through the field Whilst the riders out front scrapped it out, a battle for the top 5 was hotting up nicely. It was Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) who led the group with Marco Bezzecchi (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) and Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) in hot pursuit. In the end, the South African was able to fend off the Mooney VR46 Racing riders and bring home 5th place after starting from 11th on the grid. Miguel Oliveira (CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP™ Team) got the better of Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) to bring his Aprilia home in P8, with Maverick Viñales (Aprilia Racing) rounding out the top 10. Following an action-packed start to the Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas, we now have a chance to catch our breath before it all starts again on Sunday. If Saturday is anything to go by, you do not want to miss any of the action from the race at 14:00 local time (GMT- 5). Top 10: 1. Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) 2. Alex Rins (LCR Honda Castrol) - +2.545 3. Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) - +4.706 4. Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing) - +5.052 5. Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) - +8.175 6.

Mat Oxley: Marini says riders were a lot better behaved than in the first 2 sprints. However, his earlier prediction that front tyre pressure wouldn't be a problem in 10 laps was wrong: in the group his front pressure went v high, making it difficult to pass & difficult to avoid a crash
