Pedro Acosta wins a race-long duel with Tony Arbolino to take Moto2 victory in the 2023 Americas Grand Prix.

Arbolino held firm until three laps to go when a small mistake allowed Acosta to regain the lead. But a similar error by Acosta then handed the advantage back to the Italian.

The crucial moment between the title leaders came on the final lap when Acosta dived for the inside on the brakes at Turn 12, the end of the back straight. The Red Bull Ajo rider then held a defensive line through the last corner to ensure victory.

Almost four seconds behind, Bo Bendsneyder took his first Moto2 podium in third.

There was early drama for Jake Dixon, who looked to be caught out by a cold rear tyre and crashed out on the warm-up lap.
