The Austrian Grand Prix of MotoGP will take place from September 18 to 20, 2026, at the Red Bull Ring, marking the fifteenth round of the championship. Motorcycle racing fans will be able to follow the different sessions that promise excitement and intense competition among the best riders.
The KTM riders will be the hosts of the competition, with Pol Espargaró accompanying factory rider Pedro Acosta in the fight for victory. Despite favorable expectations for KTM, the main competition is expected to come from Ducati and Aprilia, with Ducati as the favorite thanks to the excellent performance of Marc Márquez, who has achieved several victories recently.
In the competition, Márquez is tied on points with Jorge Martín from Aprilia, but the slight advantage in victories gives him the lead. On the other hand, Marco Bezzecchi will look to recover after missing a big opportunity in his previous race in Misano.
