Miguel Oliveira did a brave third MotoGP race of his career today to end up inside the points, while Hafizh Syahrin managed to finish demanding 20 laps, although the Circuit of the Americas didn’t occur as an easy playground for the Red Bull KTM Tech3 duo from the very beginning.

Due to a thunderstorm this morning’s FP3 for the third round of the 2019 MotoGP World Championship season had to be cancelled, which meant the Red Bull KTM Tech3 duo had even less time to get to grips with the ultra-demanding Circuit of the Americas aboard their new KTM RC16 machines.

The Red Bull KTM Tech3 duo began this weekend’s Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas in sunny Texas today with some steady progress, although their first visit at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) with the KTM RC16 was challenging.
