Overview
- Race control handed Pedro Acosta an eight-second penalty after post-race checks found his bike failed to meet the rule that at least 30% of laps must run above the minimum front-tyre pressure.
- The penalty dropped Acosta from third to eighth in the United States sprint and promoted Enea Bastianini to the final podium spot.
- Alex Márquez, Luca Marini, Ai Ogura and Raúl Fernández each moved up one place in the corrected sprint results.
- Acosta said he does not care about the sanction and wants to keep the focus on progress, and he remains third in the championship heading into the grand prix.
- Brad Binder finished 12th in the sprint and said he will not use the soft rear tyre for the 19-lap race after its drop in performance.
