Moto GP - Grand Prix of the Americas: Marquez in dominant form in Austin, Pedrosa eighth

Press release available only in original language. 

The GP of the Americas, which got underway today in Austin in ideal weather conditions (air 27°C, ground 38°C), ended with #marcmarquez powering his RC213V to the top of the timesheet in both free practice sessions. After being the only rider to dip below the 2’05 barrier in the morning, Marc set the pace in FP2 as well, posting the fastest time of 2’04.034 despite a small crash in the last corner midway into the session.

In the morning, Dani Pedrosa tried a setup that didn’t work as he expected, and after more modifications in the afternoon, he improved his pace slightly, not yet to the point that he and his crew are aiming for but still less than three tenths of a second from the provisional front row.

FP3 will commence tomorrow at 9:55 a.m. local time
