Movistar Yamaha MotoGP<\/strong>\u2018s Valentino Rossi<\/strong> showed an impressive pace in the Grand Prix of The Americas<\/strong><\/a> to claim his third consecutive podium finish of the season. Teammate Maverick Vi\u00f1ales<\/strong> was looking confident, but his race ended prematurely 20 laps before the end.<\/p>\n

Valentino Rossi at the GP of The Americas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rossi <\/strong>was strong out of the gates and settled into third position exiting the first corner. He chased Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa in the opening laps, careful not to let them clear off into the distance.<\/p>\n

With 15 laps to go the Italian went wide in the first corner and got into a scrap with Johann Zarco. After a touch between the two Yamaha<\/strong> riders in turn 4, the Doctor<\/strong> was pushed wide, but he quickly rejoined the track and held on to third position.<\/p>\n

As the front runners quarrelled over the next few laps, Rossi<\/strong> took the opportunity with both hands to close the gap. He reached Pedrosa with five laps to go and bided his time. Two laps later, his carefully planned overtake came in the last corner. The nine-time World Champion then put his head down. He was on the limit for the last two laps to take the flag +3.069<\/strong>s behind the leader, securing second place despite being penalised with 0.3s at the end of the race, due to the incident with Zarco.<\/p>\n

Vi\u00f1ales<\/strong> had a busy first lap. Starting from second place on the grid he got off the line well, but found himself in fifth place after all 22 riders had squeezed through the first corner. He soon overtook Jorge Lorenzo for fourth and was eager to remain on the tail of his teammate on their way to the front, but his challenge was cut short by a crash in turn 16 one lap later. The Spanish youngster was left unhurt, but unable to continue the race.<\/p>\n

Today\u2018s results see Rossi <\/strong>take over the lead in the championship standings with 56 points<\/strong>, 6 points ahead of Vi\u00f1ales<\/strong> in second place. In the Constructor’s Championship, Yamaha<\/strong> still holds the lead with a 16-point margin, while the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Team <\/strong>stays on top in the Team’s Championship standings, 41 points ahead of its closest rival.<\/p>\n

The Yamaha Factory Racing Team<\/strong> will next cross the Atlantic Ocean for the Gran Premio de Espa\u00f1a at the Circuito de Jerez in two weeks\u2018 time.<\/p>\n

VALENTINO ROSSI<\/h3>\n

It was a great surprise for me and for the team because we were struggling very much with the new bike, especially during the winter. I think we need more time to understand the setting and the way to ride it, but at the end this bike is very good, especially in the race and with the used tyres. I\u2018m so happy, because today I wasn\u2018t so far from the front and it\u2018s also the best result of my career at this track, so it\u2018s good. When I saw \u2019Vi\u00f1ales out\u2018 I started to think \u201cI\u2018m on top of the championship standings\u201d. I felt good and I also saw Dani having some problems, especially on the right, so I said \u201cmaybe those four points are important\u201d and in fact it was like that. For me the penalty wasn\u2018t right. The problem is we either do it like this, or we crash together at a very dangerous point. But for me, though accepting Race Direction\u2018s decision, the mistake was made by Zarco\u00f9<\/p>\n

MAVERICK VI\u00d1ALES<\/h3>\n

It was a really strange crash. I did exactly the same as in Warm Up and all weekend, but I crashed. I think we had some issues with the front tyre, but anyway, we know that we are strong and that we have the speed. We can be strong again, so I\u2018m going to try to forget this crash and come to Jerez even faster, stronger and more consistent than I was here.<\/p>\n
