History of the MotoGP US Grand Prix

The Motorcycle Grand Prix of the Americas has been on the MotoGP calendar since 2013. Previously, MotoGP raced at three circuits in the USA, including Laguna Seca, California (until 2013), and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indiana (until 2015). Now, the last surviving Grand Prix in the United States takes place at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

The circuit was aided in design by Kevin Schwantz, 1993 Motorcycle Grand Prix Champion, who took inspiration from iconic sections of track from around the world, including the Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel complex from Silverstone at turns 3-7, the Hockenheimring-inspired section of in-field track at turns 12-15, and the fast, swooping right turn from Istanbul Park at turn 8. The result is 20 turns and 5.513 km (3.426 mi) of some of the most diverse sections of track in the world. The circuit is also famous for its 77-metre observation tower, offering spectacular, 360-degree views.

2025 US Grand Prix summary

The 2025 US Grand Prix kicked off in dramatic fashion. With just minutes to go before the lights went out, polesitter Marc Márquez set off a chain reaction of the whole grid sprinting back into the pits to change bikes due to changing weather conditions and a last-minute electronic setup change. Once the race got underway, Marc stretched out a comfortable lead before a crash at Turn 4 ended his domination. Ducati teammate Francesco Bagnaia took the top step of the podium, followed by Álex Márquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio for another all-Ducati podium lockout.
