An unforgettable weekend in Austin for Green Power with pole position and double victory in the Sprint and Main Race for Maverick Viñales’ Aprilia in MotoGP and victory for Sergio García of Team MT Helmets, who also took the championship lead in Moto2.
The Austin circuit, one of the most difficult and technical of the entire championship, is characterized by dry spots, strong braking and changes of direction, but also by a significant height difference of 41 m and a 1.2 km straight that shows the maximum engine capacity. A circuit that definitely tests the physical capabilities of each rider, and for this reason every victory is even more heartfelt.
In Moto3 our boys suffered the most throughout the weekend, but the Japanese Ryusei Yamanaka boosted our team’s fortunes by almost coming close to the podium with an amazing comeback from the back.
Primi punticini iridati inoltre per il rookie di CIP Green Power Noah Dettwiler, che ci sta mostrando la sua crescita.
#41 ALEIX ESPARGARÒ
P7 (SPRINT P5)
“With my race pace, I would have been able to stay in the top five but, unfortunately, the contact at the start relegated me all the way back to fourteenth place. Despite not being competitive enough, I’m still satisfied with the result. The bike works well and Maverick demonstrated that. I’m happy for him and for Aprilia – we deserved this. I think that this will be an outstanding year for Aprilia and we will certainly have fun.”
#12 MAVERICK VIÑALES
P1 (SPRINT P1)
“I made a lot of sacrifices to get here and it is all finally paying off. This shows us that you can never give up. You must have faith in your own abilities and keep growing. This is a historic achievement and I knew from the first day I arrived with Aprilia that I would be able to accomplish it. I wish to thank everyone who gave me the strength to continue, the folks in Noale, my team, and my family.”
