Mooney VR46 leading the World Championship, Pablo Nieto gloats

The Mooney VR46 Racing Team also responded in Austin, collecting a second place with Luca Marini, in his first podium in the premier class, and a good sixth place by Marco Bezzecchi, who remains the World Championship leader. In addition, Valentino Rossi’s team also leads the Constructors’ standings.

Pablo Nieto spoke this way to official channels after the U.S. weekend: “Another Sunday to be framed for the whole team! Luca’s first podium in MotoGP is something that makes us particularly proud after a long journey of growth from Moto2 to the top class. He was perfect, did nothing wrong and achieved a goal he has deserved for a long time. His commitment and attention to detail is something everyone recognizes. Thanks to the team, they never gave up and I am very happy for all the guys. We are leading the Teams’ Championship, which is also an important factor for our partners who support us and whom we try to honor every Sunday on the track. Then Marco, in P1 overall and sixth at the finish line after a weekend that didn’t start in the best way. Let’s not give up!”
