Live coverage of the FP1 and Practice sessions from the Austrian MotoGP at the Red Bull Ring.
The Austrian MotoGP is the 13th race of the 2025 grand prix season and the first one after the summer break. FP1 is scheduled to begin at 10:45 local time, followed by Practice in the afternoon at 15:00. Marc Marquez arrives at the event with a 120-point advantage over Alex Marquez, who has a long lap penalty due to his collision with Joan Mir in Brno. Despite Ducati Lenovo’s leader never winning in Austria, Ducati has dominantly claimed almost all grand prix victories at the Spielberg track since its Red Bull makeover in 2016. Francesco Bagnaia, with three consecutive wins at the venue, has yet to triumph this year since his victory in the US back in April. As the home circuit for KTM, the Austrian event sees the return of Maverick Vinales, while Enea Bastianini and Pedro Acosta both reached the podium during the previous race in Czechia.
