Austrian Grand Prix At the “Red Bull Ring” circuit, where MotoGP’s world leader, Frenchman Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha YZR M 1) defended himself in a “champion plan”, taking a troublesome second place ahead of Australia Jack Miller (Ducati Desmosedici GP22).

Bagnaia managed to cut the points with the Quartararo, but not as much as Ducati executives had hoped, Spaniard Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia RS-GP) from Spain, seeing how the reigning world champion was able to outperform all drivers except the Italians, made the mistake of choosing the softer rear tire and scored the champion he is now. He finished in sixth place in the table, leaving too much room for his opponents. 32 points (168 points) with just twelve advantages over the French (200) and Italians (156).

Bagnaia initially surprised Bastianini with Miller in third place. George Martin fourth and world leader, France’s Fabio Quartararo in fifth place, when the first hero of the race, the 2020 world champion, lost to Spaniard Joan Mir (Suzuki GSX RR), who crashed at Turn 4.

Ducati’s first “coup” was brutal, A true festival that sets the pace with four Ducati drivers and their leader “Pecco” Bagnaia at the helm.

In just two rounds, his followers are Maverick Viñales, Fabio Quartararo, Aleix Espargaró and a handful of pilots practically “in one file”.

In the fourth round, Jack Miller acted as a bodyguard behind teammate “Pecco” Bagnaia, while Bastianini and Martín, playing for Miller’s place in the official Ducati team, constantly used “axes” between them and Aleix. Espargaró was setting the first fastest lap of the race.

Maverick Viñales made a mistake in the fifth lap where he was overtaken by Quartararo and Espargaró and one lap later Enea Bastianini had technical problems –front tire with bad “beads” on the rimwhich caused him to slowly lose his pressure – which caused him to go straight into Turn 4 and thus had to leave.

Bagnaia and Miller stood out from the rest of the competitors, making it clear that the victory could only be the two of them, and just in case, the Australian did not last long. “teach the wheel” He even passed his teammate on lap eight, but the Italian driver quickly took the lead back and Martín consolidated himself in third place.

Oddly beat Miller by Bagnaia, who is playing for the world title with Quartararo, who is in fourth place on his own. without the extreme problems that logically force the Italians to add maximum points and even dictate the Ducati “team orders”.

As Bagnaia slowly moved away from Miller and Martín, Quartararo approached the two from behind, while on lap fourteen and midpoint of the raceScheduled for 28 laps, he drove alone in fifth place.

Martín made a serious mistake when he switched to the variant in the seventeenth round, causing Fabio Quartararo to pass to avoid the penalty and therefore, start again but now to attack the French, for a few minutes he gave the impression that the Spaniards had problems, but continued the race after Fabio Quartararo slipped.

A little further back, Maverick Viñales wasn’t having his best moment and was slowly losing pace and seeing himself being overtaken by the Italians. Luca Marina (Ducati Desmosedici GP22), French johann zarco (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) and Spanish alex wash (Suzuki GSX RR), initially, but with South Africa Brad Binder (KTM RC 16) is approaching dangerously low current until it passes it soon.

With less than five laps to go, Quartararo stepped into the variant to get ahead of Miller. was about to overcome Jorge Martín in the same spot.

The French took second place. “squeezed” Martin Miller Trying to beat him in three laps to the end of the test, where Aleix Espargaró took advantage of Alex Rins’ error when he sneaked in to save a place, and Martin fell in first place while trying to pass Miller. he can return to the race to enter the points in tenth place.
