Austrian MotoGP - Race Results

Dovizioso wins the Austrian MotoGP after a brilliant last-corner pass on Marquez!

The pair swapped the lead repeatedly over the closing laps and Marquez looked set to finally break Ducati's Red Bull Ring dominance, only for the Italian to launch a perfect block-pass at the very final opportunity for arguably his greatest victory to date.

Dovizioso wins the Austrian MotoGP after a brilliant last-corner pass on Marquez!

Rookie Quartararo took the early lead when Marquez and Dovizioso ran wide after a braking duel on the opening lap. The Petronas Yamaha rider then outshone the factory M1s of Rossi and Vinales fair-and-square to complete the podium.

Miller fell from the lead group while Espargaro's KTM appeared to cut out at the apex of Turn 3, Crutchlow falling in the chain reaction that followed.

Joan Mir withdrew from the event to continue his recovery from Monday's post-race fall at the Brno test. Jorge Lorenzo was again absent after fractures to his vertebrae at Assen and replaced by HRC test and wild-card rider Bradl.

Both Mir and Lorenzo aim to be back for the next round at Silverstone.
