Alex Rins takes the Moto2 win from pole position at the Circuit of the Americas track in Austin, Texas.
Rins controlled the race from beginning to end, riding a Lorenzo style race, leading every lap. The only other rider able to match the blistering pace of the number 40 was Britain’s Sam Lowes.
The Federal oil Gresini rider broke from the second pack to bridge the gap to Rins and remain around half a second behind until the closing stages when Sam backed off because of a lack of grip in the front of his bike, to settle for second.
Closing out the podium is defending world champion Johann Zarco, stuck in the second group for most of the race, saw him battle with the likes of Luthi, Aegerter, Corsi, Folger, and Nakagami.
Nakagami was ousted after contact was made from Simone Corsi at turn 1, Nakagami ended the race 15th after remounting and rejoining the race.
Britain’s Danny Kent was forced to retire, complaining of a clutch problem. his teammate Miguel Oliviera also failed to finish the race, not a good weekend for Keifer racing team.
