Francesco Bagnaia claimed victory in a tumultuous Americas Grand Prix, capitalizing on Marc Marquez's crash while leading the race. Despite Marquez's impressive pole position and sprint victory the previous day, he faced early difficulties and chose to retire due to extensive bike damage. Bagnaia's win elevates him to 75 points in the standings, while Alex Marquez's second-place finish gives him the championship lead with 87 points. The race was marked by early chaos, including a red flag caused by last-minute tire changes as conditions shifted from wet to dry.
I'm super happy, I'm already without [my] voice. I screamed out loud. What a fantastic feeling to be back on the top step of the podium after such a difficult period.
Even before the race began, chaos erupted when the sun briefly came out, forcing riders who had opted for wet tyres to scramble back and switch to slicks.
