Bastianini recital in Austin with a wild comeback from Márquez

With this victory, the rider from the Gresini team regained the lead of the table and did so with a display of control that could already be guessed from the rehearsals. However, it is one thing to propose a strategy and quite another to carry it out. And the Beast nailed it. He stayed in the front pack all the time, trailing behind Jack Miller most of the time, to launch a knockout attack with five laps to go.

The Australian, dominator of the test until the equator, finished third as he could not contain the force with which Rins arrived, in one of the best Sundays that remind him of Suzuki. This is the 500th podium for the Hamamatsu brand in the World Championship.

Fourth place went to Joan Mir, who was never able to stick to the tail end of his teammate’s bike, while Pecco Bagnaia crossed the finish line in fifth place.

Márquez, meanwhile, did not win this time but gave the greatest show, after being completely stuck at the start and facing the first corner last. The one from Honda, very physically affected, managed to wriggle through the peloton until he finished sixth, despite Fabio Quartararo’s offensive (seventh).

Jorge Martín finished eighth, ahead of Johann Zarco (ninth) and Maverick Viñales (tenth), who closed the top ten and for the first time finished ahead of Aleix Espargaró (eleventh), his neighbor in the brand’s workshop. and Noale.

Pol Espargaró, very conditioned by the gastric indisposition that has dragged on since Thursday, where he could have finished 12th.
