The third race weekend is also underway for the intermediate class of the MotoGP, with Gonzalez being chased by Dixon and Canet: here are the previous winners.
After Argentina, the action moves to America for another race weekend: the Moto2 riders are ready to compete on a new circuit, but unlike MotoGP, no one is clearly favored over the others.
At the Circuit of The Americas, many riders have already won a race, but no one has ever repeated the feat more than once. Last year, it was Sergio Garcia who took the first place. However, the Spaniard will be absent from this Grand Prix due to a fracture in his right hand. He will be replaced by Oscar Gutierrez, as in previous races.
Other Moto2 riders who have already triumphed at COTA include Tony Arbolino and Sam Lowes in the same category, while David Alonso, Ivan Ortola, Izan Guevara, and Aron Canet have won in Moto3.

As for the WEATHER, the entire weekend will be characterized by consistent and high temperatures: it will stay between 28 and 29°C in every session. The riders are likely to struggle with the heat, but the positive aspect of the weekend is the stability of the track conditions, which will remain virtually unchanged between practice sessions and the race.
