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.

“The truth is that I don’t know what to say. At the beginning it was a good race, but at the end I had some complications, but I managed to move forward, it was incredible. I had to get rid of my spine with this circuit. I want to thank the team for the job and he has faith in me.”

“I made a good start to the race, after the first lap I was in a correct position. After that I couldn’t do more, because I expected to have a great weekend. I’m a bit disappointed in myself, but I feel positive. Thanks to the team for the work and in Jerez it will be better.”
