Marc Marquez set to continue GP of the Americas dominance


2019 MotoGP season, Round 3

Grand Prix of the Americas

Circuit of the Americas, Austin, Texas

Sunday 14 April
 

Marc Marquez will look to continue his dominance of the Grand Prix of the Americas when Round 3 of the 2019 MotoGP season takes place in Austin, Texas on Sunday 14 April.

The Spanish rider has won six successive races at the Circuit of the Americas, starting his streak back in 2013. In fact, no other rider has yet stood atop the MotoGP podium at the Austin track.
 

Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso


Honda’s Marquez also comes into the race as the leader of the riders’ championship. His victory at the previous round in Argentina was preceded by a second-place finish at the season-opener in Qatar.

His nearest challenger – and the rider with the best chance of beating him in Austin for the first time – is Ducati’s Andrea Dovizioso. The Italian won the opening round and was third in Argentina at the end of last month.
 

Yamaha rider Valentino Rossi.

Veteran Valentino Rossi will also be aiming to be up at the front of the pack, with the 40-year-old demonstrating his race craft with a second-place finish on his Yamaha in Argentina.

The likes of Alex Rins (Suzuki), Danilo Petrucci (Ducati) and Maverick Vinales (Yamaha) are also contenders for top finishes, while Marquez’s teammate Jorge Lorenzo will be desperate to improve his form after 13th and 12th place finishes thus far.
