BarcelonaMarc Márquez is back. The Cervera rider has shown that he is still the same rider who has won eight world titles after the accident that took him away from the tracks a year and from which he has not yet fully recovered. After a great start, the Honda has made a patient and constant race that has led him to lead until the moment when the rain has made an appearance. With the change of bike and the soft asphalt, the Cervera has gone on the ground two laps at the end. Despite finishing fifteenth, the Catalan has once again felt like a winning driver after the great performance at the Austrian Grand Prix.
This year’s MotoGP World Championship has been one of the craziest ever. Races and overtaking at the limit, spectacular track departures and rain making an appearance or threatening to appear. There have been few races in which there has been no inconvenience to revolutionize the track, and Spielberg, the scene of the craziest Grand Prix, could not disappoint. After a start in which Fabio Quartararo and Marc Márquez have disturbed the calm of Pecco Bagnaia, who has taken the lead of the race from the first corners, the race has chained overtaking to the limit. Turning, Bagnaia tried to open up space, and the fight between Cervera and Yamaha for second place helped him contain the danger.
The vaults were passing and the clouds were covering the sky of Spielberg. Ten laps to the end, the drops have started to fall. Gradually the asphalt was filled with water until a thunderstorm fell six laps that forced most riders to change their bike for one with tires with a rain configuration. He flag to flag has brought out the great hero of the day: Brad Binder. The KTM rider was the only one who did not change the bike of the leading group and, with pushes and rolls, completed the final two laps alone fighting the rain and trying not to go to the ground in a slip. Bagnaia and Jorge Martín, with the bike with water configuration, made a spectacular last turn, overtaking all the riders who had not done the flag to flag. With a face of disbelief and fright, Binder attended the media after being congratulated by the other two members of the podium, fully aware of his heroism.
Spielberg is still disappointing
In Moto3, Sergio García Dols took the thorn out of last weekend, when he fell on the same track at the end of the first GP at the Red Bull Ring circuit. The Gas Gas rider made some excellent final turns to overtake Denis Öncü, who had to settle for second place. Dennis Foggia, who has been all the way to the tail of the leading group, has pressed the gas in the last laps and has taken third place on the podium. Pedro Acosta, leader of the World Cup, finished fourth.
In Moto2, the race has been much less hectic. Madrid’s Raúl Fernández has taken the lead in the race at the start of the Grand Prix and has added his fourth victory of the season by winning the Austrian Grand Prix with solvency and authority ahead of the Japanese Ai Ogura and the Spanish Augusto Fernandez.
