MotoGP 2023 - Round 3 of 21, Circuit of the Americas – Race

Red Bull KTM Factory #racing had good reason to view the #redbullgrandprixoftheamericas with strong cause for optimism considering the increased competitiveness and continued progression with the current RC16 motorcycle. #jackmiller was holding a podium position at COTA until a mid-race slip while #bradbinder was also among the fastest on track in Texas until he also had to recover from an error and still made the flag in 13th place.

  • Jack Miller shows podium pace and potential but falls out of the running at mid-race distance
  • Brad Binder suffers a slow speed tumble at Turn 15 while fighting for the top five. The South African remounts for 3 points in 13th.
  • Pedro Acosta wins a thrilling Moto2™ duel for his second victory of the year
  • Top five for #danielholgado in Moto3™ as the Spaniard continues to lead the championship

The stifling heat of COTA on Saturday had blown away in a stiff breeze to be replaced by sunshine and colder temperatures for the Grand Prix distances on Sunday. #jackmiller and #bradbinder throttled their KTM RC16s from the fourth row of the grid and for the 20-lap distance and it was Miller who made the sharper start around the long 20-corner layout.

Jack was holding a clear 3rd position when he lost control through the chicane and slid out of the reckoning at mid-race distance. Binder was making progress from the depths of the top ten as the group disputing positions for the top five began to close up and narrow. Brad spun out through Turn 15 only a few laps after Miller had departed the race. He was able to pick up the bike and rally to 13th for 3 valuable points.

After three of 21 rounds, Binder is 9th in the championship standings while Miller is close in 12th. #redbullktmfactoryracing will be able to go for trophies again at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto for the Gran Premio MotoGP Guru by Gryfyn de España in two weeks.
