After scoring a victory and a third place, respectively, in Argentina, Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa quickly packed up to head to Austin for the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas, round 3 of the 2016 MotoGP World Championship.
Marquez likes the track and have fond memories of it. He took his first premier-class victory at Austin in 2013, and he also won the following two years, even taking pole position on all three occasions. (He has actually won all the races held on U.S. soil since he joined the MotoGP ranks: three in Austin, three in Indianapolis and one at Laguna Seca).
‰ÛÏWe‰Ûªll see how we manage in Austin this year," Marquez said. "It‰Ûªs a track that I like, where I feel strong, and where I‰Ûªve always had good races and good fun. That said, the track rewards strong acceleration, which hasn't been one of our strongest points so far this year, so we‰Ûªll have to wait and see how we can manage the situation. We‰Ûªll keep working hard, as we did in Argentina, and we‰Ûªll try to find the best pace for the Sunday race.‰Û
