An interesting weekend at KTM’s home track in Austria.
Starting from the front row, KTM’s Pedro Acosta led both the Sprint and the Sunday GP with good gaps over second place. He crashed from the lead in the Sprint with less than 3 laps remaining, but held on to win in Sunday’s race – the first win of his career at the MotoGP level.
The Sprint was won by Jorge Martin (Aprilia) with Marc Marquez (Ducati) finishing second and Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) third. Sunday’s GP saw Acosta work his way to the front and then hold on for the win over Martin in second and Bezzecchi in third.
Beating Marc Marquez in both races, Martin broke his tie in championship points and now leads the championship by 12 points. The next round will be held in Japan in two weeks.

Now there’s a four stroke post. All it’s missing is some gush about Marquez.
Poor old Mick, just can’t get Marc out of his head. Lol.
WTFO,heed the read, forever. Is this a plug ?
Obvious, isn’t it? Despite reporting the comment, it remains there. Maybe bots get credits too?
I will NEVER understand why leaning like the second guy does not not work, or start cold nuclear fusion.
Can’t do that in the dirt for very long.
They are blessed with some really sticky tires, that barely last long enough to finish the race. Some of the motocross guys go beyond 90 degrees on some of the banked corners. And you can tip in an ice bike far enough to drag parts on a dirt bike.
A guy would expect the observed trails guys to be the masters of everything. But while you do lots of crazy things at an observed trials event, tipping it way in is not one of them.
