AUSTIN – Repsol Honda Racer, Marc Marquez, win the race MotoGP USA (USA) 2021 at Circuit of The Americas (COTA), Monday, October 4, 2021. Marquez’s victory sparked the annoyance of his younger brother, Alex Marquez from LCR Honda.
When Marquez took victory, his Honda colleagues, both from Repsol Honda and LCR Honda, did not get good results at COTA. Alex could only finish the race in 12th position or 24 seconds behind his brother.
In this race, Alex had a problem at Turn One at the start of the race that almost made him return to the garage much quicker. Although still able to survive, that one mistake resulted in his position being taken over by another racer.
“I had a good start, but then I collided with another rider at the first corner. As a result, I lost a few more positions,” said Alex Speedweek, Tuesday (5/10/2021).
