Austin MotoGP - Race Results
Race results from the 2019 Americas MotoGP at COTA in Austin, Texas, round 3 of 19.
Rins takes his first ever MotoGP victory after overtaking and then narrowly holding off Rossi in the Austin MotoGP, marking Suzuki's first win since 2016.
Marquez fell while holding a 3.6s lead after losing the front of his Honda at the end of the back straight, destroying his hopes of a 7th successive COTA victory and handing the lead to Rossi, who kept Rins at bay until three laps to go.
Miller completed the podium, his first ever in the dry, while Dovizioso takes over the championship lead from 13th on the grid!
Vinales and Mir were hit with jump-start penalties, Vinales wrongly taking the 'Long Lap' loop before serving the correct pit-lane Ride Through penalty.
Crutchlow fell while putting Rossi under pressure for what was then second place, early in the race.
Lorenzo suffered another technical problem, possibly a repeat of the chain jumping from the sprocket.
