The Americas GP produced a third different winner in three MotoGP rounds, on a weekend filled with new storylines. Here's the ten takeaways from the COTA event.
Rins rode around Honda's long-term problems at COTAIt's ironic that without Suzuki's demise in MotoGP, Honda's victory drought would have continued at the Americas Grand Prix.
As it happened, Rins was the only competitive Honda rider in Americas. Second in qualifying, second in the sprint and a grand prix win measured againstbeing the next-highest on the grid in 13th and in the sprint in 12th, while no other Honda rider finished the grand prix apart from Rins. Everything looked like it was heading the way of a grand slam weekend for Bagnaia. And then, on lap eight of 20 on Sunday, he crashed out going through Turn 2.
"I'm given a lot of confidence on my bike but it's too stable. You can call me crazy seeing that, but I would prefer to have more feedback because I would understand the crashes. I was entering more normal, not to crash, not to stress the tyres." "Of course, it has to change," Quartararo said of the Yamaha."I don't know how, but even if I feel better today [in the sprint] in fighting but from four years I don't feel a big improvement from the bike. I have more experience of the bike, but from the bike I don't see massive improvements. The things we have to change are much bigger than having an exhaust or one small thing on the bike.
Dorna Sports has tried a number of things to overturn this over the last few years, such as a failed docuseries and the introduction of sprint races which has so far met mixed views. Part of this will include a growth of the series in America, as well as engaging a younger audience – Rossomondo noting that MotoGP's short format of a 20-minute sprint and 45-minute grand prix is perfect for the modern consumer.
