MotoGP, In Austin Marc Marquez could break a 903-day fast

903 – If Marc Marquez wins the Grand Prix race, it will be 903 days since his last GP win at the 2021 Emilia- Romagna GP. As a comparison, there were 581 days between Valencia 2019, his last win prior to his arm injury sustained in Jerez in 2020, and his following win at the 2021 German GP.

63 – If at least one Ducati qualifies in the top three, it will be the 63rd successive race that a Ducati rider starts on the front row, stretching back to Valencia 2020.

49 – Ducati is on a streak of 48 consecutive GP races with at least one rider on the podium. If they take a podium this weekend, they will extend their record to 49.

19 – He’ll be 19 years and 325 days old on Sunday, so if Pedro Acosta wins the Americas GP, he’ll become the youngest rider to win in the premier class, taking the record from Marc Marquez (20 years and 63 days old in Austin in 2013). If he finishes on the podium, he’ll become the youngest rider to take back-to-back premier
class podiums, taking the record from Marc Marquez, also in Austin 2013.

6 – There are six riders on the grid who could take their maiden MotoGP win this weekend: Alex Marquez, Raul Fernandez, Luca Marini, Takaaki Nakagami, Augusto Fernandez and rookie Pedro Acosta.

3 – If Jack Miller, Maverick Viñales or Alex Rins win the GP race, they will become the first rider to win on bikes from three different manufacturers since the start of the MotoGP era in 2002.

1 – KTM/GASGAS and Aprilia riders could give their factory a maiden premier class podium at COTA.
