Rins took advantage of a decline from leader and pole-sitter Bagnaia to win the third stage of the season, ending Honda’s long run.

Alex Rins won Sunday’s Grand Prix of the Americas after a mistake from Ducati’s MotoGP world champion Francesco Bagnaia.

Rins capitalized on a fall from leader and pole-sitter Bagnaia to claim his third stage of the season to end Honda’s long winless run.

Luca Marini (Ducati-VR46) came second and Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) came third.

Bagnaia won Saturday’s sprint but left the showpiece race in Austin pointless as Marco Bezzecchi finished sixth to extend his lead at the top of the overall rider standings.
