American MotoGP Champion Marc Marquez In 2014
American MotoGP Champion Marc Marquez In 2014 and Marc Marquez completes his total domination of
the Austin MotoGP weekend with a comfortable win over team-mate Dani Pedrosa, a
repeat of last year's result.
The fight for third was closer with Andrea Iannone holding
the final podium place for much of the race before Stefan Bradl and Andrea
Dovizioso burst past with six laps to go.
Dovizioso, Bradl and Bradley Smith then spent the closing
stages dicing for third. Struggling with 'flu, Dovizioso clung on to claim
Ducati's first MotoGP podium since 2012.
American MotoGP Results 2014 and Dovizioso's
team-mate Cal Crutchlow pitted for a new rear tyre then suffered a big accident
at turn two and was immediately seen removing his glove and checking his right
hand before being carried away on a stretcher.
Jorge Lorenzo's 2014 race misery continued when he made a
massive jump start and was forced to serve a ride-through penalty. Marquez then
led the remainder of the race - although he gave the Repsol Honda team a scare
with a sideways moment under braking at the very final turn!
