It turned out to be a perfect weekend for the reigning MotoGP™ World Champion Marc Marquez, who dominated the weekend’s activities, leading every practice session, qualifying on pole, and easily winning Sunday’s 2014 Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas.

MARC MARQUEZ: “This was a bit of a new experience for me in MotoGP, because prior to today I had never led the entire race from beginning to end. So at times it was a little bit difficult to keep my concentration levels up during certain parts of the race. But I’m obviously very, very happy with the end result. This being the second time I have raced at this track, it was a little bit easier than last time, although with so many turns the track is very physically demanding, and can take a toll on a rider’s body. But in the end this win was very important for me and the rest of our team. I think our team did a really good job today. We have some momentum going now, and I’m just hoping we can keep up the good work the rest of the season."
