The Grand Prix closed triumphantly for the Max Racing Team, the structure of Max Biaggi and Peter Öttl, during their debut this year in the Moto3 World Championship. Three races were enough (curiously, like the Sky Racing VR46, in 2014 with Romano Fenati) to achieve the first world victory with Aron Canet. The Spanish pilot thus interrupts a personal fast which has lasted for more than a year, his last success dating back to Great Britain in 2017.

A great race like the protagonist of Arón Canet who, after a season falling short of his personal expectations, needed new motivation. He seems to have found it at the Max Racing Team, abandoning Honda after three seasons and taking up KTM. The partnership started very positively: fast since winter testing, Canet started the season with a podium in Qatar, then triumphed on the difficult Austin track. And it's not limited to that, since the native of Corbera is now also at the top of the general classification, tied with his compatriot Jaume Masiá.

" I feel good! ",  commented Aron Canet after his success in Austin. A difficult victory not only because of the track, but also the large number of rivals, as usual in Moto3. “Great to win again, it’s a really great feeling.” He then explains his strategy: “In the first part of the race I was discreet, then towards the end I attacked very hard, paying attention to the rear tire.” A long-sought victory: “After a long time without standing on the top step of the podium, some self-confidence is lost. But this year I knew I could get this result, and it happened.”

Unfortunate that Max Biaggi was not present due to promotional events (Formula E and Aprilia, of which he is an ambassador, in addition to commitments made with the Venturi team). But the Corsair managed to rejoin the team on Sunday afternoon. “Great race and unexpected victory”, he told RTL. “Arón behaved very well, he ran with his head and didn't get discouraged when he was behind. He gave me the impression of a very mature boy. He is only 19 years old but he has a lot of experience. It really gave us great emotion: for us, it’s the first year in the World Championship, this victory was the most beautiful.”
