The Grand Prix of the Americas seemed prepared to see Marc Márquez reign in his ‘garden’. The eight -time world champion had been the fastest, for the third consecutive time, in the classification session, and sat at the top of the podium in the third race to the ‘sprint’ of the season. However, a few seconds before the exit, an unexpected incident interrupted the race.
This is how the MotoGP 2025 is going.
During the recognition return, the security car hit the barriers, causing a delay and forcing the organizers to remove the red flag. The official BMW M5 of the motorcycling championship ended the damaged nose after losing control in curve 14 of the Americas.
The clash changed the situation throughout the grill
Although all pilots were ready on the grill, some with smooth tires and others with rain tires, the safety car accident changed the situation. All competitors changed smooth tires when seeing the track conditions were favorable.
The ‘Safety Car’ was removed from the circuit 15 minutes before the main traffic light gave the output order. A new exit procedure was applied and the race was reduced to 19 laps. A sequence that caused Davide Brivio’s anger, whose pilot Ai Ogura had opted for slicks from the beginning: “I am super angry to be honest, because this is not how the beginning of a race is handled!”
This is not how the start of a career is handled

He explained: “We made a risk, the right decision and when it was time to start the race, they stopped everything because some pilots … the pilots who left the grid left the grid, made the wrong decision.”
