The Moto3™ class will look to pick up where it left off as it contests the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas this weekend for the very first time at the newly built Circuit of the Americas, with Red Bull KTM Ajo's Luis Salom currently leading the charge.In the class' first race in its second only season the youngsters didn't disappoint, as they once again put on a show in Qatar under the floodlights. And fans will be hoping for a repeat as the riders get to grips with the new and exciting track. Salom showed true composure last time out to take the win from a hard-fought battle, whilst the likes of Estrella Galicia 0,0's Alex Rins and Alex Márquez will once again be challenging throughout.Team Calvo's Maverick Viñales, who is still recovering from loosing a fingertip in a crash in testing, will be further into his healing process, and will undoubtedly remain one of the favourites. Mapfre Aspar Team Moto3's Jonas Folger, who looked to have struggled ever so slightly on his KTM-Kalex, will aim for at least a podium finish in Texas, whilst the Mahindra Racing duo of Miguel Oliveira and Efrén Vázquez will look to continue the team's positive start to the season.Honda-powered machines struggled at the fast and flowing Qatar track, and will be hoping that the varied nature of fast and slow at COTA will work more in their favour, with Ambrogio Racing's Danny Webb and Brad Binder currently the favourites to shine on their Suter-Honda machines. Paddock TT Motion Events Newbie Philipp Oettl did well on his Moto3™ debut and will be looking for much of the same, as will other rookies such as Team Calvo's Ana Carrasco and CIP Moto3's Juanfran Guevara.World Championship Standings Moto3™1- Luis Salom SPA KTM 252- Maverick Viñales SPA KTM 203- Alex Rins SPA KTM 164- Alex Márquez SPA KTM 135- Jonas Folger GER Kalex KTM 11
