Pedro Ac🦄osta wins a race-long duel with Tony Arb🉐olino to take Moto2 victory in the 2023 Americas Grand Prix.
Arbolino held firm until three laps to go when a small mistake allowed Acosta to regain the🎐 lead. But a similar error by Acosta then handed the advantage back to the Itali🐼an.
The crucial moment between the title leaders came on the final lap when Acosta dived for the inside🌸 on the brakes at Turn 12, the end of the back straight. The Red Bull Ajo rider then held a defensive line through the last corner to ensure victory.
Almost four seconds behind, Bo Bendsneyder took his first Moto2&nb🧸sp;podium in third.
There was earlyꦜ drama for Jake Dixon, who looked to be caught out by a coldꦦ rear tyre and crashed out on the warm-up lap.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki💃 exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury iss𝄹ues.
