Alex Rins of Spain has won the Moto3 race in Indianapolis ahead of fellow countryman and Estrella Galicia 0,0 teammate Alex Marquez after a hardly fought battle that saw the former prevail by just 177 thousandths of a second.
Maverick Viñales (Team Calvo) has been battling with the two for most of the race, but at the end he had to settle for third because of some tyre issue, crossing the finish line about a second after the winner to complete yet another all-Spanish, all-Kalex Moto3 podium.
German Jonas Folger (Kalex KTM Mapfre Aspar Team Moto3, +8.
863) was fourth ahead of championship leader Luis Salom (Red Bull KTM Ajo), who was tenth on the the grid after an ugly accident in yesterday’s qualifying and couldn’t find the right pace on today’s race.
Salom’s teammates Arthur Sissis and Zulfhami Khairuddin finished 6th and 7th respectively, with Miguel Oliveira (Mahindra Racing), Romano Fenati (San Carlo Team Italia) and Jakub Kornfeil (Redox RW Racing GP, 10th) rounding off the Top 10.
In the standings, Salom continues to lead with 183 points ahead of Viñales (174) and Rins (167).
