The 2025 Americas GP at the COa circuit had a dramatic start with Yamaha Factory rider Fabio Quartararo crashing on the sighting lap just before the race. The 2021 MotoGP world champion was approaching the ‘Esses”, and there he had a low side.

He was screeching on the road towards the runoff area where his Yamaha bike had run wide. The Stewards came for the rescue as a few minutes remained before the race start. Quartarao ran towards his bike and tried to start it. His race suit was all torn due to the crash, but he minded only about going back to the garage. Jack Miller arrived with his Prima Pramac bike and rescued Fabio Quartararo. The Australian was seen toing the French man back to the garage.
Watch: Jack Miller comes to rescue.
If the Yamaha bike is not on time, he will be disqualified from the race. This is MotoGP, where one rider helps another rider to compete eventhough both ride for different teams. Fabio Quartararo should thank Jack Miller for the rescue as, without him, his race start at the COTA GP wouldn't have been possible.
Marc Marquez of Ducati, Fabio Di Giannantonio of VR 46 and Alex Marquez of Gresini Racing will start on the front row. Marc Marquez won the Americas GP Sprint race and has now won every race since the start of the 2025 MotoGP season. Even yesterday, he was the quickest driver on the grid. The opening lap challenge he faced from his teammate Francesco Bagnaia and his brother Alex Marquez was evaded successfully by the six-time world champion.
Fabio Quartararo was exceptional and displayed outstanding talent against the Fast Ducati bikes. His Yamaha bike was slower, but he didn't give up, and he braked late and gained positions. In the end, Quartararo finished P6 behind Morbidelli and Giannantonio. Let us see whether Marc Marquez, the 'COTA king,' can extend his dominance at the Americas GP this year.
