That battle was for fourth spot befo💦re Maverick Vinales suffered a crash on the final lap which gave Acosta P3.

A twisty circuit with flowing, fast and slow sections,ཧ COTA tends to t🍌hrow up surprising results, however, Acosta has a good record at the Texas circuit as he won there in Moto2 last season.

Speaking ahead of this weekend, Acosta said: "We are heading to Austin after a very good weekend in Portugal. I have had time to train well and a🎃nalyse the last race, seeing what we did well and what we did wrong.

“COTA is a very nice circuit but one where we will have to work hard to continue෴ with our main objectives. Let's go for it!"

While Acosta, Brad Binder and Jack Miller have all shown speed aboard their RC16 KTM b✤ikes, Augusto Fernandez has so far struggled for form and confidence this season.

The Spaniard has been nowhere near the level of team-mate Acosta but 🐠hopes to change that this weekend.

Fernandez added: "After the first two rounds which were not easy, I am looking forward to going to Austin, to continue working, improviꦯng and recovering ಞour feeling with the bike.

“COTA is amazing, very spectacular and I really enjoy riding there, so I am pleased to be🥀 back ꦰin the USA.

“Let’s continueও to work hard, and get back to our level verꦏy soon."
