This weekend marks the 12th United States GP at COTA since its introduction in 2013.

Can Bezzecchi continue after making history in Brazil?

Last weekend in Goiania became an Aprilia domination with a 1-2 for Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin. But a win for Bezzecchi made him just the 5th rider in Motogp to win 4 races in a row after Rossi, Marquez, Lorenzo and most recently Bagnaia. On paper the Aprilia looks the in form team so Bezzecchi will be feeling good about his chances.

Marquez looking to fight back after 2025 disappointment

The 2025 US GP was a rare case of disappointment for Marc Marquez in a season filled with so many wins. The 9 time champion crashed at the esses to gift a win to teammate Bagnaia, and he will be hoping this year he can bounce back.

Honda looking for a big result

Based off of pre season, Honda would’ve been feeling good about their chances for the season, with Mir and Marini fighting among the top places. However as the season started, Honda were once again slap bang in the middle of the pack. Texas being a notoriously hard track to race at provides an opportunity for potential top 6 finishes.
