Dovizioso pips Marquez
Print Edition
Ducati’s Andrea Dovizioso won the Austrian Grand Prix yesterday to slightly close the gap between him and runaway MotoGP championship leader Marc Marquez. Five-time world champion Marquez is still 58 points ahead of Dovizioso despite the Italian pipping Honda rider Marquez on the final lap at Spielberg’s Red Bull Ring to gain his first race win since the season opener in Qatar back in March. “I’m happy because I finished second, of course we missed the last corner but I was sliding a lot on the rear tire,” Marquez told broadcaster BT Sport. “Dovi did an incredible job and at the moment we are leading by 58 points, so we have to continue on the same way.” Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo completed the podium and Australian Jack Miller was one of four riders who fell during the race. Italian great Valentino Rossi finished fourth for Yamaha, ahead of Spanish teammate Maverick Vinales in fifth. The 12th race of the campaign takes place with the British Grand Prix on August 25 at Silverstone.
