The match report
A spectacular one Maverick Viñales he repeats his victory in yesterday's Sprint race on the COTA circuit, finally getting his first and much desired victory in a GP on board the Aprilia. The race of the Spaniard – who thus became the first rider ever to win at least one race in the MotoGP class with three different manufacturers – despite starting from pole position, it was a complete comeback, after being the victim of a contact at the start.
The #12, however, was unstoppable and passed all the great protagonists one after the other in a super spectacular race, preceding a very good rider to the finish line. Pedro Acosta – more and more rookie wonders with the KTM – and a super tough guy Enea Bastianiniwho snatched the podium with one and a half laps to go from world championship leader Jorge Martin, who came fourth. Pecco Bagnaia disappointsonly fifth, while Marc Marquez is thrown away once again, which is crashed just after managing to take the lead of that race that he had won so many times in the past.
The words of the top-3
Maverick Viñales (1st, Aprilia): “Thanks to all the fans in America, I felt all their support and it was spectacular. Three victories with three different manufacturers? What can I say, I wrote the story, thanks! Thanks America, I'm super happy. We have to keep working, I had a problem with traction and it was a mistake. We have to be careful but the pace was fantastic, I don't even know how many overtaking I did.”
Pedro Acosta (2nd, KTM – GasGas): “Regardless of the result, it was an incredible race. I had a lot of fun overtaking my opponents and it was great to battle with them, it was fantastic. Before yesterday I knew that it was risky to do these battles with all the opponents, but also the choice of tire was a sign that we had nothing to lose. I'm glad he paid off in the end.”.
Enea Bastianini (3rd, Ducati): “I think I can be happy today. I suffered a lot this weekend, but it's wonderful to be here. The start was incredible but then I lost a few positions. Towards the middle I tried to increase the pace and managed to get closer to the group. I am very happy with this podium”.
