Twice MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia won the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday (August 18) to complete a weekend double and go five points clear at the top of the world championship, taking the chequered flag ahead of his rival Jorge Martin.
The Italian Ducati rider, who qualified second on the grid after dominating practice and winning the sprint on Saturday, overtook Prima Pramac Racing’s Martin on the second lap.
Having smashed the lap record to take pole position at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg on Saturday, Martin finished second. Enea Bastianini came third to complete an all-Ducati podium.
Bagnaia’s victory moved him up to 275 points, five more than Martin, with Bastianini maintaining his hold on third place on 214.
