Will Jorge Martín manage a double victory this weekend in Austin, Texas? The Spanish rider, winner of the Sprint and new championship leader, will have plenty of competition if he hopes to win again this Sunday on Texan soil. While his teammate Marco Bezzecchi will start with a two-place grid penalty, as will Luca Marini, the man who won the first two Grands Prix of the season is particularly keen to secure a third consecutive victory.
Struggling at his home track in Austin, Marc Márquez will serve a long-lap penalty after colliding with pole-sitter Fabio Di Giannantonio during Saturday’s Sprint. The Spaniard isn’t expecting miracles on Sunday and could be beaten by his teammate Francesco Bagnaia, the most recent Grand Prix winner at the Circuit of the Americas, who finished second in the Sprint. Lights out at 22 p.m. Paris time!
