Austin winner Jaume Masia (Red Bull KTM Ajo) was back on the podium in second as he gets into the 2022 groove, and likewise Ayumu Sasaki (Steril- garda Max Racing Team) in third as the Japanese rider continues his speed this season. Garcia's win puts him at the top of the tree in the title chase with 83 points over Dennis Foggia at 82, with Masia third at 54. CN ROUND 5 / APRIL 22-24, 2022 PORTIMAO / PORTIMAO, PORTUGAL P90 MOTOGP I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP I need help from the bike. Then it's true that even like this I'm trying to take 100% from the bike and even like this I was fighting against the other Hondas but my target is not to be the first Honda. My target is to fight for the top positions. But all these things are not in the correct way now. Also, it was a special weekend that we don't test a lot, but nobody tested, so this is not an excuse." VIDEO ANALYSIS MAKING AN IMPACT After Andrea Dovizioso said he would turn to video analysis to improve his riding technique in Austin, Aprilia's Aleix Espargaro confirmed Aprilia has found small gains in recent weeks by having a rider coach and video camera standing trackside. "They can do magic with the videos now," said the Catalan. "They can find the [correct] gearbox [setting], the line, the time per corner, everything." Briefly... Sergio Garcia came out on top of the Moto3 battle but crashed when coming into the winner's circle in pit lane.
