Alex Rins ends Honda’s MotoGP victory drought in style a𓃲t the 2023 Americas MotoGP in A𝔉ustin, Texas.

The new LCR rider took the lead when Ducati’s reigning champion France൩sco Bagnaia crashed out just before the halfwa🦄y stage.

But the victory battle wasn’t over, with VR46 Ducati's Luca Marini later blasting past Fabio Quartararo's Yamaha&nbsꦛp;for second and facing only a two-second gap to Rins.

Rins responded, managing🌃 his advantage for Honda’s first win since the absent Marc Marquez at Misa🔜no in 2021.

Rins’ sixth premier-class victo🃏ry, after five for Suzuki, was also LCR’s first since Cal 🉐Crutchlow in 2018.

Meanwhile, Marini celebrated his firꦰst ever (Sunday) MotoGP podium and Quartararo a first rostrum of the season.

In a replica of the Saturday Sprint, Bagnaia and Rins battled for the lead on the opening lap. But this time there was no shaking off th𝐆e Spaﷺniard, who sunk his teeth into the factory Ducati.

The pressure paid off when Bagnai꧋a crashed out of the lead, at Turn 2, on lap 8 of 20.

The reigning champion’s second fall in as many MotoGP races left the Italian visibly shocked but Bagnaia’s downfall was one of no less than ten race accidents, three of them on the opening lap.

Sprint podium finisher Jorgeဣ Martin lost the front of his Pramac Ducati at Turn 3, wiping out an unlucky Al♏ex Marquez. Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro was down soon after, falling from his Aprilia at Turn 12.

KTM's Jac🐬k Miller, who had jumped from tenth to third, was&nbs👍p;leading the pursuit of the top two when he suffered his sixth and final accident of the weekend.

Repsol Honda’s Joan Mir, Miller’s team-mate Brad Binder, Rins’ team-mate T♍akaaki Nakagami and Honda stand-in Stefan Bradl then fell after Bagnaia, meaning just 13 riders reached the finish.

High front-tyre pressure, also an is𝓡sue in the ten-lap Sprint, could again have been behind many of the falls.

Espargaro’s team-💃mate Maverick Vinales got another poor start before recovering to fourth ahead of RNF Aprilia’s Miguel Oliveജira and title leader Marco Bezzecchi (VR46).

As in 💮the Sprint, all riders chose the hard front and soft rear tyres.

While Miguel Oliveira and Joan Mir returned to action this weekend, three ri🌜ders remained absent due to injuries at last month’s Portimao season opener:

Pol Espargಌaro was replaced at Tech3 by KTM test rider Jonas Folger, with last year’s COTA winner Enea Bastianini replaced by Ducati test rider Michele Pirro and Repsol Honda's Marc Marquez&nbs🌃p;(a seven-time COTA winner) by HRC test rider Stefan Bradl.

The MotoGP Court of Appeal is yet to decide if Marquez's double long-lap penalty will be carried over from Argentina to his next evꩲent, which is expected to be the🧸 Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez later this month.
