Constant challenge
After the battles seen in Qatar and Portimao, the Sprint race in Austin could not do without the spectacular battle on the track between Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta. This time the Spanish-style derby between the eight-time world champion and the one who is considered by many to be his young heir smiled on the veteran, who finished Saturday's race in second place, with Acosta fourth.
This time Marquez wins
The talent of GasGas had managed to overtake its rival for a moment, but at that point Marquez responded with an immediate counter-overtaking and then extended his pace, also managing to turn back Jorge Martin's comeback attempt, who then finished third under the checkered flag.
“Acosta tried because he has guts, like Martín if he had been close. They have a very similar mentality. It all depends on the speed you have. At that moment I didn't have that speed, but I knew that if I put two or three things together I could have it. In the Sprint we fought a lot with Viñales, Acosta and Martin and managed to take second position. For me it's a pleasure to fight against these young riders“#93 commented to the microphones of AS. And tonight everything is set for yet another rematch.
