Here are five major talking points from the Red Bull Ring

was dominated by a rider who has won seven of the 11 main races this year, and seven seconds covering the top three positions. Fortunately, there were rides further back who threw up some intrigue.

The Italian is, from these statistics, clearly the dominant rider in MotoGP of the past two-and-three-quarter years, and he showed why in Austria. Each of those second places have come in the wake of a victorious factory Ducati, which he must find delightful, especially when it’s his main title rival, Bagnaia, doing the winning in Austria.

However, Martin needs to get back to winning again. It’s all good finishing second every week but that won’t win you a title if it’s the same guy beating you every week — especially if that guy has the points lead.Marc Marquez explained how his mistake disengaged the start device on the grid 🗣️ A costly error from the eight time World Champion.The most dramatic moment of the Austrian Grand Prix was the start, which is not uncommon but this time it was specifically thanks to Marc Marquez.

After he engaged the front start device while rolling up to the grid, he braked hard again to try to put more heat in the tyre, but this time he released the brake too sharply which disengaged the start device. Without time to re-engage it, his start was ruined, and his hopes of challenging for the podium vanished.

Acosta is one of those riders who arrives in the top class and makes such an impact that, although you know he’s a rookie, you discard — in relation to him — the standards that usually apply to a rookie. Early in the season, Acosta was KTM’s best rider, but on Sunday he finished 15 seconds behind Brad Binder in fifth.

In Austria, there was no way for Bastianini to challenge Bagnaia and Martin. They all had front locking, but Bastianini found it more difficult to deal with it in Austria than the other two.
