MotoGP Round 3 – The Americas

Marquez dominates Texas

The curse of round 3, if the WorldSuperbike is anything to go by, then MotoGP was just following suit. With the exception of the retirements, Marques led pretty much start to finish and took the victory with over 6 seconds ahead of Lorenzo and Iannone, completing the podium.
Rossi crashed out early on, and Dovizioso again saw himself retired by another rider, this time the poor-decision making of Dani Pedrosa.  All of which lines up to give Marquez a much-welcomed lead in the championship, leading by a healthy 21 points heading into round 4.

Point Standing after Round 2:

M Marquez	Honda	66 Points
J Lorenzo	Yamaha	45 Points
V Rossi	Yamaha	33 Points
P Espargaro	Yamaha	28 Points
D Pedrosa	Honda	27 Points
