There’s literally no track in MotoGP with more twists and turns than the Circuit of The Americas in Austin. It’s got twenty of them, so you’re in the wrong place if you’re betting on just raw engine power. And with Ducati still chattering like it's nobody's business, all bets are off…

Enter Maverick Viñales on the Aprilia, absolutely nailing his bike’s potential in the many, many corners of this Texan gauntlet. But not all riders were so lucky – and that might tell us some very interesting things about the season ahead. This week, we invite you to go left and right, left and right, again and again while we take you through all the literal and figurative twists and turns of the second race in this year’s tournament. Enjoy!
