Marquez held off Britain’s Cal Crutchlow to claim his second victory of the season but Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo had to miss the race after crashing in practice.

And Marquez told the BBC: “We did a very good race and this victory is so important for the championship.

“It’s a second victory but in Austin (where he won his first MotoGP earlier this season) I was a little bit happier, because here, without Dani and Jorge on the track, it’s a little bit different.

“We hope for a great recovery for them because, with them on the track, the show is different.” – Sky Sports
