Austin MotoGP Results (News) (Race Results)

Marc Marquez (Honda) continued his domination of the Austin round of the MotoGP series by taking his fourth straight victory at this venue earlier today. Marquez cruised home 6 seconds ahead of second-place Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha) who held a sizeable gap over third place Andrea Iannone (Ducati).

A number of crashes affected not only the race results, but the early championship points battle. Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) was again taken out by the crash of another rider … this time Dani Pedrosa (Honda) when Pedrosa’s crashed bike swept up Dovi on lap 7. Meanwhile, Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) low sided early in the race while trying to make up for a poor start. We understand none of these riders was injured and, in fact, Pedrosa re-joined the race for a period before retiring.

The consistent Marquez (he won the last round in Argentina, and took a podium after Round 1 in Qatar) already has a sizable 21 point advantage in the championship over Lorenzo (who has already recorded one DNF – at the Argentina round).
