Marc Marquez kept up his phenomenal run of success in MotoGP with sprint victory at the Austrian Grand Prix on Saturday. He headed his brother Alex (Gresini Ducati) home, with Pedro Acosta earning a third-place medal for the factory KTM team at its home track.

Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi led much of the race after starting from pole position before Marquez pounced. The Italian then succumbed to charging Gresini Ducati rider Fermin Aldeguer, who took his best MotoGP result with second place.

Marc Marquez’s acceleration in the Austrian MotoGP has been highlighted as one of his keys to success at the Red Bull Ring.
