But his first time leading a grand prix on a Ducati was short-lived when he slid into the gravel, at Turn 11, ending any hope of a long-awaiꩲted victory.

Marquez’s race had begun by losing a wing in contact with Jack Mi🦂ller, then dramatically touching Martin - he wobbled but stayed upright.

TNT Sports’ꦦ Michael Laverty joked: “I think he wanted all his wing appendages off, before we got to half-way in the ra🐻ce!

“He k𝕴ept making contact. He lost the left sidepod.

“He🔯 ⛄took liberties, a bit too much, on the front end.

“But his aggression? It was evident. It was brill💦iant to witness those overtakes, those collisions, those contacts.

“It spurs him on for more.

“Obviously, [his ✃crash] was asking a little too much of the front tyre. I💮t lets go. It happens.

“He won’t be losing any sleep over it.

“He would have loved the battle, as Pedro did.

“He was wanting to win. He believed, in those early🔥 laps.

“When he made contact with Jack and lost the ꦬwing, I thought ‘this will be a tough few laps’.

“Bꦡut he was making passes, he was going forwards. He was ꦑfighting, getting creative with his overtakes.

“🍌He is starting to understand how this GP23 can work to his strengths.

“He would have been on the podi🌠um if he made it to the end.

“But unꦐfortunately he just asked a lit♏tle too much of his Michelin front tyre.”

Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales instead won thꦅe Am👍ericas MotoGP.

Tech3 GASGAS’ Acosta and factory Ducati rider Enea Bastiꦅanini completed the po😼dium.

Notably, Marquez did not win either the sprin🙈t or the grand prix in Texas, a circuit where he has previously dominated with seven victories.

He is 44 points behind championship leader Martiꦿn, af꧅ter three rounds of the 2024 season.
