Since he found the Ducati user manual, Jorge Lorenzo is the one who scores the most points in the championship, but he has started so far that he does not pose a threat to the leader Marc Marquez. The latter has certainly lowered his flag in Austria after having surrendered a week ago in Brno, but he continues to widen his lead in the general classification...
And for good reason since his second in the provisional ranking is none other than a Valentino Rossi who could only save the points for sixth place in the shipwreck in progress at Yamaha. Vinales thus finished only twelfth in Styria so that the two Yamaha riders are respectively 59 and 88 points behind.
Between them, and in third place, Lorenzo pass Dovizioso for one point. But the two Ducati officials are 71 and 72 lengths behind the Honda official. The rest of the peloton is led this time by Petrucci with 96 units in passive which pushes out of the top 5 John Zarco for a point, the same gap which protects it from Crutchlow.
This is the same classification that appears for the hierarchy of independent drivers. In fact, this Sunday is a disappointment for the Frenchman, rider of a Tech3 Yamaha team which is ahead of the Pramac team in the ranking of satellite structures.
Iannone is ninth, 22 points ahead of his teammate Kidneys which has the same number of points as Pedrosa. Miller is twelfth, five points behind the Spanish duo.
