The Austrian Grand Prix of MotoGP will be held from September 18 to 20, 2026 at the renowned Red Bull Ring. This will be the 15th event of the championship, and fans can expect intense competition.
The event is especially important for KTM, which acts as the host, with Pol Espargaro supporting factory rider Pedro Acosta in the pursuit of victory. Despite positive expectations for KTM, it seems that the fight for first place will be between Ducati and Aprilia.
Ducati arrives as the favorite, thanks to the recent succession of victories by Marc Marquez, who currently leads the championship standings. Marquez shares points with Jorge Martin from Aprilia, but his number of victories gives him the advantage.
Meanwhile, Marco Bezzecchi will try to recover from a disappointing performance at the GP of Misano, where he lost a great opportunity. The Austrian event will mark the end of the European stage of the championship, with the next part of the season moving to the Asia-Pacific region.
