The first round of the MotoGP remained quite thrilling for the fans, as Repsol Honda Team’s rider Marc Marquez and Movistar Yamaha MotoGP’s Valentino Rossi showed some great skills in Qatar. Now MotoGP fans are hoping to see another intense battle between the Spanish and Italian rider, when they will come face to faceagain at the Circuits of The Americas on this weekend.Marquez has already said in his recent interview that this year he is feeling more confident before going on to the circuits, as now he has a good one year experience behind him. On top of it, winning the title has boosted his confidence sky high. This can be judged from the fact that the 21 year old Repsol Honda Team rider had won the opening Grand Prix race despite breaking his leg just seven weeks before the start of first round of the 2014 season.
Though, Marquez looked in great shape after injury and it was at Circuits of The Americas (COTA) where he achieved his first victory during last season, but this does not mean that Rossi has no chance of reaching the top step of the podium. The Italian rider has already made it clear that he is looking to renew his contract with Yamaha in 2015, as he is satisfied with his performance in the opening race. There is no doubt that Rossi has made an brilliant effort in the first round, as the 35 year old rider managed to lead all the racers after he improved his pace from number ten position. In fact, Rossi gave Marquez a goodtough time till the second last lap of the race, so it is likely that the veteran rider will look to even the scores with his arch rival in the next round.
On the other hand, Marquez’s teammate DaniPedrosa, who finished third in Qatar, is hoping to further improve his performance in the upcoming round, as the track in Austin had favoured Honda during last year. Also, the 28 year old Respol Honda rider had some good memories of the track because he was pretty close to outstrip Marquez at the circuit in the previous season. In contrast to Pedrosa, Rossi’s colleague Jorge Lorenzo did not have pretty good memories of the opening race, as he crashed out after leading the riders for a short while. However, now he will be looking to make up for the crash, as Lorenzo’s unusual mistake in the last race will only fire him up to do well at COTA. MotoGP fans can find superior collection of motorcycle clothing and accessories at JS Accessories that is one of the best motorcycle stores when it comes to offering high quality and low price.
Aside from these riders,MotoGP fans in America will also get to see some other exciting talent at the circuit, who have the potential to give Marquez, Rossi, Pedrosa and Lorenzo a good run. These sensational riders are Alvaro Bautista of GO&FUN Honda Gresini, Stefan Bradl of LCR Honda MotoGP and Bradley Smith of Monster Yamaha Tech3. It is anticipated that if these factory riders were able to maintain their respective pace during the contest, they can become serious threat for the front-runners.
Andrea Dovizioso and Cal Crutchlow are two other talented riders, who will represent Ducati Team in the next round that has tremendously improved its race-pace and looking to go further up in the ranks when they will compete on the US soil. Nevertheless, American fans will most probably be cheering for very own riders Nicky Hayden of Drive M7 Aspar and Colin Edwardsof NGM Forward Racing, who managed to end the first round with solid 8th and 9th positions and are now looking to enhance their performance in the upcoming challenge.
