Live text coverage of Friday practice for the 2025 MotoGP Americas Grand Prix
The 2025 MotoGP season heads to the United States for round three, with Marc Marquez l💟ooking to keep up his 100% win record this we🐲ekend at the Americas Grand Prix.
The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:factory Ducati rider has made a perfect start to life with the Italian marque's works squad, having qu▨alified on pole and won both races at the opening two rounds of the season in Thailand an🥂d Argentina.
The Circuit of the Americas has been a happy hunting ground for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez over the years, with the Spaniard winning seven times at the Texan venue - including his maiden premier class succeꦡss in 2013.
With most predicting him to dominate this weekend, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marquez warned on Thursday in the pre-even press conference that COTA was the only race he crashed out of duri💯ng his "perfect" 2019 campaign. Therefore, he is not getting carried away.
Having pushed him hard in the Argentina GP, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez will be looking to go one better than the second-place he has𝓀 so f💃ar finished in every race of 2025.
ꦐThe Gresini rider doesn't have a stellar record at COTA, but he is confident that he will be competitive this weekend given how good he fee🌞ls on his GP24 Ducati.
All eyes will be on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia and if he can get himself into victory conten𝓰tion after a difficult start to the campaign in the opening two rounds.
The double world champion said after finishing a distant fourth in Argentina that he could look to revert to the GP24 from Austin - 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:comments he backtracked on, claiming he d🐈idn't put across what he meant to s🐻ay.
Typically not a strong circuit for Bagnaia, he believes he has pace enough to be better at COꦑTA than he was at Termas de Rio Hꦗondo two weeks ago.
COTA represents the most recent venue at which Honda has won a grand prix, after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins guided his 🐈LCR-run RC213V to the Americas GP win in 2023.&nbsꦅp;
After a strong weekend in Argentina, in which 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco qualified on ꦗthe front row and cracked the top six in both races, Honda is well-placed ꩲto impress again.
MotoGP FP1 begins at 3:45pm GMT, with Practice 😼at 8pm GMT.
