A completely crazy finale in Spielberg

The South African beat Ducati riders Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin in front of more than 86.000 spectators at the Red Bull Ring and celebrated his second race victory in the premier motorcycle class. Shortly before the end, Binder was the only driver in the leading group not to change to rain tires and was rewarded for it. In other words: He saved his victory to the finish - even if he lost 13 seconds to Bagnaia in the last lap.

The Spaniard Martin, who started from pole position, missed the double victory after his triumph at the Styrian GP in third place. In his last appearance in Austria, superstar Valentino Rossi was briefly in 2rd place with 3 laps to go. In the end, “Vale” came 8th, which was also his best result of the season. After the race, Rossi was celebrated by his fans in Spielberg. Valentino Rossi was loudly celebrated by his fans in Spielberg. © APA/afp / JOE KLAMAR

Rossi's 24-year-old half-brother Luca Marini was also on course for the podium with his Ducati shortly before the end. But then he was caught by Bagnaia & Co., who had switched to rain tires. World Cup leader Fabio Quartararo had to settle for 7th place in the Spielberg spectacle. Marc Marquez slipped shortly before the end and only ended up in 15th place.
