“It's great to win here. It's a fantastic track with great people," Bastianini said as he reflected on the United States Grand Prix.
"Miller set a great pace in the first part of the race, and I was just hanging on. Once I came under pressure from Rins I decided to push, which motivated me to find the extra pace needed to take the victory.
"Now it is time to eat some hamburgers.”
Ducati are placed at the top of the Manufacturers' Championship standings and they are followed by KTM and Suzuki respectively.
