The 2013 Grand Prix of the Americas was the second round of the 2013 MotoGP season. It was held at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas on 21 April 2013. This was the first GP race at the circuit.
Marc Márquez won his first MotoGP race, in which was only his second race in the top level, and became the youngest ever rider to win a MotoGP race.
It was the first Grand Prix since the 1982 Swedish Grand Prix where in all three categories, there were three new winners: at the Anderstorp it was Iván Palazzese (125cc), Roland Freymond (250cc) and Takazumi Katayama (500cc) who won.[2]
