First, the Spaniard broke the lap record for pole on Saturday and then put in an imperious performance to outpace reigning FIM World Championship winner Joan Mir (Team Suzuki Ecstar) on Sunday, taking his first premier class win and becoming the first Independent Team rider on a Ducati to win a MotoGP race.
And for Pramac Racing, the wait is over as that victory with Ducati finally comes their way.
Mir took second and his best result of the season so far, with 2021 FIM MotoGP World Championship leader Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) completing the rostrum to do some impressive damage control in the standings at a tougher venue for Yamaha.
That’s all in store from the Styrian Grand Prix, but not for the Red Bull Ring.
The stunning venue welcomes MotoGP paddock back for more next weekend for the Austrian Grand Prix, and there will be a new premier class winner lining up — Jorge Martin.
Will the deck shuffle again or can he go back to back? Come Friday, we will start to see some answers! Revv up!
