Marc Marquez only came home fifth at the Austrian Grand Prix because the front brake lever had no firm bite point for long stretches. After the race, three more Ducati riders reported exactly the same problem: Francesco Bagnaia, Fermin Aldeguer and Fabio Di Giannantonio.

Pedro Acosta has taken his first Grand Prix victory in MotoGP at the Grand Prix of Austria, a day after throwing away the sprint and a few hours after another crash in the warm-up. The 22-year-old had previously stood on the podium 15 times without ever reaching the top step.

Pedro Acosta throws away what looked like a certain home win for KTM with a single glance at his display, Jorge Martin inherits the sprint victory and the championship lead. After the race, those involved explain what happened at the chicane, why Marc Marquez did not fight back and why Ducati is off the pace at the Red Bull Ring.

From the 2027 season, MotoGP wants to run two qualifying sessions at every race weekend, one for the sprint and one for the Grand Prix. The proposal is already with the teams and manufacturers and follows the Formula 1 model, but differs from it on one important point.

Tech3 has officially confirmed Senna Agius as a MotoGP rider from 2027, filling the last remaining seat on next season’s grid. The decision went against his Intact GP team-mate Manuel Gonzalez, who leads the Moto2 championship by a clear margin.

On medical advice, Joan Mir is skipping the Grand Prix of Austria after examinations in Barcelona showed abnormal blood values. Honda is fielding development rider Takaaki Nakagami in his place, even though a replacement was not required at all.

Ai Ogura wants to get back on his Aprilia at the Austrian Grand Prix after breaking his thumb, but he still has to pass the medical check on Thursday. Ahead of the Red Bull Ring weekend, Fabio Quartararo also talks about his move to Honda, and Valentino Rossi comments on Nicolo Bulega’s return to VR46.

After the race in Misano the cameras caught a conversation between Pecco Bagnaia and Fabio Di Giannantonio that was never meant for the public. Five words in it cast a new light on the relationship between the two-time world champion and his factory team.

After the sprint at the Grand Prix of San Marino, Pecco Bagnaia spoke of frustration and humiliation and admitted that neither he nor his team can explain the behaviour of his Ducati. At the same time two penalties for impeding have triggered a fundamental debate in the paddock, and at Honda and Yamaha Saturday’s problems remain unsolved.
