The Austrian GP of MotoGP, set to take place from September 18 to 20, promises excitement in Spielberg, marking the 15th race of the season.
With local support from KTM, Pol Espargaro joins factory rider Pedro Acosta in the fight for the podium. Meanwhile, Ducati and Aprilia have positioned themselves as heavy favorites for the win, as the Red Bull Ring circuit approaches action.
Spanish rider Marc Marquez arrives at the Grand Prix after a series of victories that have propelled him to the top of the standings, tied on points with Jorge Martin from Aprilia, but holding the advantage due to more wins.
Marco Bezzecchi, for his part, will try to bounce back after an incident in Misano that prevented a good result.
