If Austin or the Sachsenring are the playground of a Marc Marquez who strings victories like others pearls, the Red Bull Ring is the real-size Ducati amusement park. Since the return of the Austrian Grand Prix to the calendar, the Desmosedici have been enjoying themselves on the fast, hilly Styrian track, where they are showing off their firepower. Last year, Marc Marquez only surrendered in the last corner before the finish against Dovizioso. And this year?
This Austrian edition promises. Because the Ducatis are stronger but also because the Honda with a Marquez above has also become even more embellished. Furthermore, DesmoDovi is no longer alone on the red planet. Jorge Lorenzo will this time take his share of the pie in order to both regain the advantage over his teammate in terms of the number of successes during the year, and to assert himself against his future stablemate who will be Marc Marquez !
Behind, we will count the points. The Yamahas can only hope for places of honor while we will scrutinize the atmosphere in the official box where the side Valentino Rossi looks like an oasis in the middle of a hostile desert. Johann zarco will be there, of course and will have to be careful not to Petrucci as Crutchlow in the challenge between private individuals. Syahrin will do the same in the beginners' ball against Morbidely.
Austria is also the country of KTMs which, unfortunately, were hit hard by fate during the last two meetings. Mika Kallio et Espargaro Pol will be forfeited so that Bradley Smith will be the only one on the RC16. Fortunately for the Mattighofen factory, there is Moto2... And since we are talking about this category, the backstage should be a little more agitated with perhaps an announcement from fabio quartararo...
