Italy’s Enea Bastianini moved into the overall world championship lead with his second MotoGP victory of the season at the Grand Prix of the Americas.

The 24-year-old finished ahead of Suzuki’s Alex Rins and Ducati rider – and long-time leader – Jack Miller.

Bastianini’s win in Austin, Texas, follows his victory at the season-opening race in Qatar.

Sunday’s race also marked the return of six-time world champion Marc Marquez, who finished sixth.

However, the Spaniard gave a breath-taking display as he tore through the field after being at the back at one stage.

The 29-year-old had missed the previous race in Argentina following a heavy crash in Indonesia last month.

In the earlier Moto2 race, Britain’s Jake Dixon came third to secure his first-ever podium.
