Description

The Austrian motorcycle Grand Prix is a motorcycling event that was part of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing season from 1971 to 1997. The MotoGP World Championship returned to Austria in 2016 after a break of 18 years, with the country hosting a motorcycle Grand Prix event at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg - the last time being in 1997. Austria's first Grand Prix took place in 1971 at the Salzburgring circuit, which hosted Grand Prix racing on a total of 22 occasions, until 1994.
The Spielberg Red Bull Ring is beautifully situated in the Murtal region of Styria and was originally built in 1969, then known as the Österreichring. In 1996 it was rebuilt with the track-layout it still has today, and hosted Grand Prix events for two years as the 'A1-Ring', before being reopened as the 'Red Bull Ring' in 2011.

The Red Bull Ring has turned on yet another last-lap thriller, Jorge Lorenzo outfoxing Marc Marquez to win the Grand Prix of Austria.The Ducati and Honda riders traded the lead multiple times in the closing laps, Lorenzo beating Marquez to the flag by just over a tenth of a second.
Czech Republic GP winner Andrea Dovizioso came home third, as his teammate upheld Ducati’s perfect winning record at the Austrian circuit
Dovizioso had a front row seat to the battle on his way to finishing third, while Crutchlow beat Petrucci in the battle for best of the rest - almost 10 seconds behind the leaders..
