00:02:53After Acosta crashed in this morning's warm-up session
00:02:57You had to be up early to catch those pictures of the jaw-dropping, breathtaking scenery that envelops this spectacular
00:03:07Spielberg track as we are set for the main event.
00:03:12It will be lights out in just under 45 minutes' time for what we hope is going to be a
00:03:20very special 28-lap Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Austria.
00:03:27Martin now back in command of the World Championship, the Spaniard, 2024 World Champion, of course, when on board a
00:03:34Pramac Ducati is three points clear now.
00:03:38Seasoning the outright lead in the World Championship after he beat Marc Marquez to second place.
00:03:44The 20th gold medal yesterday for Martin.
00:03:48Will he still be our World Championship, will he still be our World Championship leader as we head on to
00:03:51our Flyway Tour starting in Japan in two weeks' time?
00:03:55Matt Burr, Lewis Siderby in the commentary box bringing you all of the live build-up and then the 28
00:04:00-lap Grand Prix of Austria with Jack Appliard down in pit lane.
00:04:03Some late family and friends' words of encouragement for Marco Betsecki, who now starts his traditional sort of hop, skip
00:04:12and jump into the factory of Priya Garage.
00:04:16Can he jump firmly back into World Championship contention in this afternoon's Grand Prix?
00:04:20A sprint podium yesterday still saw Betsecki slip 38 points behind in the World Championship.
00:04:28That is a full weekend of points now, Betsecki sits adrift of his team-mate Jorge Martín.
00:04:34I think if you're looking at a potential victor in the 28-lapse, I don't think Marco Betsecki will figure
00:04:39two promptly at the top of most people's pre-race predictions.
00:04:42It looks like Acosta and Martín, clearly they've had the upper hand not too far behind Marc Marquez and Betsecki
00:04:49will never say never to go on through Sunday.
00:04:51It's Man of GP, expect the unexpected.
00:04:54We certainly saw that a week ago when Marco Betsecki was leading on the opening lap and crashed in front
00:05:00of his own fan club, his own grandstand at Mizano.
00:05:03A chance for Betsecki to bite back this weekend.
00:05:07That is the rear arrow on the factory of Priya.
00:05:10They've now brought three updates in the last four Grand Prix's of the factory of Priya team as they continue
00:05:15to leave no stone unturned to win the World Championship.
00:05:19A World Championship that we almost assumed they were going to win after Mugello earlier in the season.
00:05:24Of course, Marc Marquez's recent hot streak has put that under some serious threat, but they are going to push
00:05:30everything and put everything into these final seven Grand Prix's.
00:05:34Starting today for a Priya to try and win the World Championship.
00:05:37It's Martín in control in the championship.
00:05:39It's Martín on pole today.
00:05:40But don't count out Marco Betsecki yet.
00:05:43MotoGP is an ever evolving technical battleground.
00:05:48And a Priya are once again trying to seize the upper hand.
00:05:51Three major arrow updates in the last four Grand Prix's.
00:05:54They have for the very first time in history, a Priya, taken our last four pole positions.
00:06:01Hoy Martín was absolutely lethal on the brakes into the first quarter yesterday.
00:06:06It's the heaviest braking zone around this Spielberg circuit.
00:06:11It's mandatory that you have to run those high mass 340 or 355 millimetre front brake discs.
00:06:19Front brake temperature, so hard and tough are the braking zones around this Spielberg circuit.
00:06:23They can reach as much as 800 degrees centigrade.
00:06:28Martín, when he was charging back through the pack yesterday in the sprint,
00:06:33made all of his killer moves, all of his key moves on the brakes into the first corner.
00:06:38Winding down towards the tail end of what's been a brilliant and successful Grand Prix career.
00:06:45You just saw there the Aussie fans.
00:06:47No doubt where there are leaders lying in this upcoming Grand Prix.
00:06:50The Jackass banners out in force.
00:06:52Jack Miller looking for some momentum and a big boost before he heads home to Philippe Ireland.
00:06:57What I'm sure is going to be a very, very emotional weekend.
00:07:00Not just for Miller, but for all of us, of course, as we get set to say farewell
00:07:04to the hallowed tarmac of Philippe Ireland on the third of our five-race flyway tour.
00:07:10Jack Miller, well, it was a tough sprint yesterday.
00:07:12I think Lewis has had a sprint that he didn't really enjoy for a single second.
00:07:18Electronics issues on that Pramac Yamaha yesterday.
00:07:21As we're in the Red Bull ring.
00:07:23And we've got the Red Bull mascot sweeping up the crowd into a bit of a pre-race fancy.
00:07:28Love to see.
00:07:29Well, you know what they say.
00:07:30Sunday afternoon, you can't beat a bit of bullying.
00:07:32And that is certainly true here this afternoon at the Red Bull ring,
00:07:35the Austrian Grand Prix.
00:07:37And it is Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, who will be hoping and praying that a tough and chastening
00:07:4424 hours for them is going to end with glory.
00:07:48Pedro Acosta crashing out of the sprint lead yesterday afternoon, crashing at the end of the warm-up session this
00:07:54morning.
00:07:55So his confidence surely can't be at an all-time high coming into this Sunday Grand Prix.
00:08:00But he will not lack motivation in KTM's home Grand Prix.
00:08:04Lunch was cancelled in the factory KTM garage today because Pedro Acosta sent his RC16 hurtling through the gravel trap
00:08:11at the end of the warm-up at Turn 9.
00:08:13Just a few moments after his KTM Factory teammate Brad Binder had high-sided himself at Turn 4.
00:08:20Authorised personnel only.
00:08:22Come on, Peko, let us in to the back of the factory in the category.
00:08:25We won't, we won't give away any of your secrets as Bang Jaya.
00:08:29Fair play to Peko, who has been all at sea in the last three or four Grand Prix's.
00:08:34Really, really respectable ride in the sprint yesterday.
00:08:38Sixth place, only 5.1 seconds behind eventual winner Jorge Martin.
00:08:43Of course, it would have been north of seven seconds had Pedro Acosta not tumbled out of the lead.
00:08:49But a few positive signs, some shoots of recovery there, we say, Lewis.
00:08:54Yeah, a step with the set-up yesterday morning certainly made a bit of a difference for Peko Banjaya.
00:08:59Said he could stop the bike a little bit better yesterday.
00:09:01Of course, rear grip has been an issue that has plagued Peko so far this year.
00:09:07He did have a little bit more support and feel from the rear end of his bike yesterday.
00:09:11I guess the acid test will come today for Banjaya going from seventh place on the grid.
00:09:16Of the Grand Prix, of course, he has won on three previous occasions.
00:09:202022, 2023 and 2024.
00:09:23Of course, the latter two of those also came with runaway sprint wins.
00:09:27Banjaya, in his pomp, was unbeatable around the Red Bull ring.
00:09:30Yeah, which pretty much sounds like Ducati's form around the Red Bull ring as well.
00:09:34Twelve previous Grand Prix's here in the past.
00:09:38Ducati have won ten out of those twelve.
00:09:41The only factory that has toppled Ducati right here in Austria, well, it's KTM in their own backyard.
00:09:48Gunther Steiner, Red Bull KTM Tech 3 CEO.
00:09:51Well, he would love nothing more than to witness some home success once again for KTM.
00:09:57Previous wins in one of the most memorable recent MotoGP races back in 2021.
00:10:03Five years ago, Brad Binder riding on slick tires when we almost had monsoon conditions.
00:10:10An incredible performance of skill, an incredible performance of bravery,
00:10:14saw Binder win out on that occasion.
00:10:17I mean, it was like riding on sheet ice.
00:10:20It was an incredible, astonishing performance by the South African,
00:10:24who's given himself a bit of a bashing around already on Sunday morning,
00:10:27having crashed this morning, a rather heavy landing at turn four
00:10:30after high-siding himself.
00:10:32KTM's other win wasn't particularly dull either, was it?
00:10:36Back in 2020 at the Steering Grand Prix,
00:10:38when just outside our Coventry Box window in the final corner,
00:10:41Miguel Oliveira took advantage of the Polisbargo Jack Miller shootout
00:10:45to snatch the victory from the pair of them.
00:10:48So just what is going through the mind of Pedro Acosta right now
00:10:51as he does some running repairs on his knee sliders,
00:10:56getting ready for the Grand Prix, the left knee slider taken away,
00:10:59the right knee slider will now be removed as well.
00:11:02Pedro Acosta will be in a fresh set of leathers, I suspect,
00:11:05after making a mess of them earlier on today in warm-up.
00:11:09Here he is then, the master stepping into the arena, ready.
00:11:15What he hopes will be back-to-back Austrian Grand Prix victories.
00:11:20Marc Marquez here 12 months ago did the double.
00:11:23It proved super important as he went on to ultimately be crowned
00:11:27as the 25 MotoGP World Champion.
00:11:29Of course, we're coming up to the anniversary of the completion
00:11:33of arguably one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history,
00:11:37not just in motorcycle racing, not just in Grand Prix,
00:11:41but one of the best we've ever seen.
00:11:452020, of course, six years ago now, back at Jerez in his home Grand Prix in Spain,
00:11:51where he suffered that mangled right, humorous fracture,
00:11:54and then it led to multiple surgeries, multiple operations,
00:12:00multiple hours, dozens and dozens of days, weeks, months in rehab, in physio.
00:12:07But he was back to his brilliant best, wasn't he?
00:12:0912 months ago when he was crowned world champion over in Butegui.
00:12:13We are 93, well, on so many occasions, those 93 fans,
00:12:19on actual fact 77 previous occasions, Marc Marquez, 78 rather,
00:12:24has won a MotoGP race on a Sunday.
00:12:28Just one of them, though, here around the Red Bull ring,
00:12:30which for so often was his kryptonite in MotoGP.
00:12:332017, final corner, he was beaten by Andrea Davizioso,
00:12:37he was beaten on the last lap in 2018 by Jorge Lorenzo
00:12:41before Davizioso did him again on the final lap in 2019.
00:12:44Of course, on those occasions he was racing against Ducati,
00:12:47he's now very much racing for the Bologna brand.
00:12:50And let me tell you, I can guarantee you there is not enough money
00:12:54on planet Earth that will get me in that plane.
00:12:58Always a spectacular Red Bull aerobatic display going on,
00:13:03getting the fans ready, building up the atmosphere
00:13:07ahead of this 28-lap Austrian Grand Prix.
00:13:10I just couldn't do that.
00:13:12That's just, no, it's not for me, not for me at all.
00:13:15Spectacular to watch.
00:13:16Awesome, I'm sure, when you're at the controls,
00:13:20but I'm much, much happy when I've got my feet planted firmly
00:13:23on terra firma.
00:13:26Let's head down then to pit lane to hear from a Grand Slam tennis champion,
00:13:30US Open champion back in 2020 and an Austrian sporting star,
00:13:33Dominic Thiem with Jack.
00:13:34Yeah, one of many superstars down here on the Red Bull ring grid.
00:13:38Dominic Thiem, the 2020 US Open tennis champion.
00:13:41Firstly, welcome to MotoGP.
00:13:43You've just been telling me your first time here.
00:13:45What do you make of the experience so far?
00:13:47Yeah, thank you so much.
00:13:49I absolutely love it.
00:13:50I mean, I already watched Moto3 and Moto2 and the speed is incredible.
00:13:55It's always such a difference from TV to live.
00:13:58And yeah, can't wait for the start of MotoGP.
00:14:01Tennis, such a solo sport.
00:14:03When you're out there, you're by yourself, very similar to these guys.
00:14:06When they're on their bike, they have to deal with so many mental struggles by themselves.
00:14:10Do you see similarities and what do you make of what these guys put themselves through?
00:14:15It's incredible.
00:14:16You know, of course, we also at tennis, we have a lot of pressure, but it's not comparable because it's
00:14:22not that dangerous.
00:14:23You know, I mean, here they go with 320, which is incredible.
00:14:27So you have to be, well, 100% focused like the whole race.
00:14:32So that's a big difference to tennis.
00:14:35You can make some pauses here and there.
00:14:38But no, it's so amazing to be at other sports and to see the athletes, to see how it goes.
00:14:45So I'm really happy to be here.
00:14:47Being Austrian with your Red Bull hat on, I can guess the answer to this question, but who are you
00:14:51cheering for today?
00:14:52Yeah, of course, for the KTM Red Bull team.
00:14:55I will also watch the race from the box here.
00:14:59Absolute privilege.
00:15:00So, of course, I'm also cheering for that.
00:15:02Great to see you here, Dominic.
00:15:03Hope you enjoy the day.
00:15:04Thanks a lot.
00:15:05Thank you.
00:15:05Thank you.
00:15:06Yeah, brilliant.
00:15:06Really hope Dominic Thiem does indeed enjoy his Mudder GP experience here today.
00:15:12Grand Slam winner at the US Open back in 2020.
00:15:15Did climb as high as third in the world rankings at one stage in his career.
00:15:20Not the only superstar tennis player that loves a bit of Mudder GP, of course.
00:15:24Mark Marquez is very, very close friends with a certain Rafa Nadal, a true global sporting icon.
00:15:31And back in the day, I remember Roger Federer, who was also a very frequent visitor to the Mudder GP
00:15:37paddock.
00:15:38So, yeah, continuing the trend of some of our tennis superstar Mudder GP fans.
00:15:43We've seen very recently in the last two years or so, the two modern tennis greats, Yannick Sinner and Carlos
00:15:50Alcaraz, have also enjoyed Mudder GP close up.
00:15:53And I will completely back up those words of Dominic Thiem.
00:15:57Watching it on TV is one thing.
00:15:59You have to experience this though, trackside, just to understand the speed and the bravery of not just the Mudder
00:16:05GP riders, but also the speed of these incredible machines.
00:16:08Because it is, frankly, insane.
00:16:11I mean, just imagine being on the top of a motorcycle in Mugello, where the fastest ever recorded Mudder GP
00:16:17speed was just shy of 370 kilometers an hour.
00:16:23Over 225 miles an hour.
00:16:25I mean, look at these guys.
00:16:27They're not even, some of them are under six feet.
00:16:29They don't weigh sort of, they're what, 65, 70 kilos, soaking wet, as looking relaxed, calm.
00:16:36When does he not look relaxed and calm at Ayagura?
00:16:39Brilliant return from an injury layoff for the Japanese star for trackouts, probably in the sprint yesterday.
00:16:45We had not seen Agura in competitive action since he was on the floor crashing out of contention.
00:16:50At the British Grand Prix a few weeks ago.
00:16:52Missed Aragon, missed Muzano.
00:16:55Shows how much we missed him when he was fighting for the podium here yesterday.
00:16:59Fourth over the line in the sprint battle.
00:17:0177 points of the World Championship lead is Ayagura.
00:17:06Level with Pedro Acosta.
00:17:07It looks like those two Grand Prix's he's missed have certainly dented his championship challenge,
00:17:13if not completely ended it.
00:17:15But Ayagura showing once again yesterday that the speed hasn't gone anywhere,
00:17:19even if he has had to recover from injury recently.
00:17:22That was Alex Marquez we saw a moment ago inside the Grasini Ducati box,
00:17:26going from the second row of the grid in sixth after a very similar Saturday experience to a week ago
00:17:31in Muzano,
00:17:32when he crashed in qualifying.
00:17:34Not quite as much damage this time though for Alex Marquez, qualifying a row higher in sixth.
00:17:38Well, he's a Hall of Famer in Grand Prix racing.
00:17:40He knows what it takes to fight Mark Marquez on screens in heated money.
00:17:45GP Bathurst Company did it on so many occasions.
00:17:48Now very much still part of the KTM family as a test and development rider.
00:17:51Always a pleasure to welcome one of the best to ever do it.
00:17:55Danny Pedrosa joins Jack.
00:17:57Yeah, great to be joined by Danny.
00:17:59We'll try squeeze this in quickly before pit lane opens.
00:18:02Huge expectation, huge pressure on Pedro today.
00:18:05He's looked super quick all weekend.
00:18:07How much will the crashes of yesterday and in particular this morning,
00:18:11do you think, be playing on his mind?
00:18:13Yeah, that's absolutely the big question here because we don't know how is he actually in internal feelings
00:18:20are at the moment after two crashes in a row.
00:18:23I hope that after a few laps he can let this behind and focus on the race.
00:18:30But obviously at the first go he will still be a bit nervous because of that.
00:18:38But anyway, the pace has been great all weekend.
00:18:41His feelings on the bikes are also strong and he sense he has a good chance today.
00:18:47Even if Martin yesterday showed also strong performance.
00:18:51But you know, it's not the end of the world.
00:18:54We will try and I think he's feeling the pressure.
00:18:56But I hope he can handle it as a great rider he is and he can do something great today.
00:19:04Do you think Jorge from pole position is the man that Pedro will be most scared of in this one?
00:19:09Looking at yesterday, Pedro has to be focused on himself.
00:19:13Perfect. Thank you, Danny. Enjoy it.
00:19:15Thank you.
00:19:15Thanks, Jack. Thanks to Danny Pedrosa, former 125cc world champion, former 250cc world champion.
00:19:22One of the best riders surely in history and never could quite complete the hat-trick.
00:19:27And never quite, despite getting close on so many occasions, win in Mudder GP.
00:19:31The Austrian fans, as they always do, putting on some spectacular show in the grandstands.
00:19:36They deck those seats out with the red and white flags to show off the proud Austrian national colours.
00:19:45Getting the selfies, getting the pictures as the hills are about to come alive with the unique and instantly recognisable
00:19:54sound of a MotoGP machine.
00:19:56They're going to roar around the Red Bull ring at full pelt in about 25 minutes' time.
00:20:02Jorge Martin, this was yesterday, just shaking out that right arm.
00:20:08Well, that's just today. Apologies for the replay graphic.
00:20:11Of course, he had arm pump issues, which dogged him pretty significantly in the Grand Prix.
00:20:18Mozzano seven days ago.
00:20:19Let's not forget he was actually leading in San Marino and taking the fight to Mark Marquez.
00:20:24He was actually confident he might win the Grand Prix before the dreaded arm pump issue came his way.
00:20:32I mean, he was big, big question marks.
00:20:34Major, major doubts about whether that arm pump would hinder him once again here in Spielberg,
00:20:38in all the hard, heavy braking zones.
00:20:41Arm pump, of course, is just that swelling of the muscles in the right arm.
00:20:45It just means you get a lack of feeling, a tingling sensation.
00:20:49What about tyres, Michelin rubber? Thankfully, we're going to get a dry Grand Prix.
00:20:53There's no doubt about that. Looks like Lewis, it's going to be medium front to get the support in the
00:20:57heavy braking zones and the medium rear tyre.
00:21:01Two or three riders actually have a look at the medium yesterday in prep for this Grand Prix.
00:21:05Crucially feel over the long distance, full distance of 28 laps.
00:21:09The medium is what's going to give you the ultimate grip over the full race.
00:21:13Every rider raced the medium-medium combination here last year with one exception, which was Alex Rins when we had
00:21:19a harder front tyre available on that occasion.
00:21:22So that will likely be the preferred pick.
00:21:24And there were three riders who raced the medium rear in the sprint yesterday.
00:21:27Alex Rins ironically was one of them, along with Luca Marini, who was another.
00:21:32They might have a little bit of an early advantage in this Grand Prix, the trio that ran the medium
00:21:37rear tyres today, because they will have some additional information as to how that tyre will feel.
00:21:42Of course, they'll have double the fuel on board for this Grand Prix this afternoon.
00:21:45And we generally do see, the harder the tyres are, Aprilia tend to come alive.
00:21:50And in terms of rear tyres this weekend, we do have a reinforced rear tyre, a heat-resistant rear tyre
00:21:57with a stiffer construction or stiffer casing on the rear tyre to dissipate the heat and to cope with the
00:22:03very specific demands of this red-borne circuit under heavy braking and heavy acceleration.
00:22:08And it certainly has looked so far this weekend that the Aprilia has come better with it than the Ducati.
00:22:14Here's Marco Betsecki at Matt Burke pace around this Spielberg circuit.
00:22:19In a few moments time, Bez and the field will be motoring at this point of the circuit at over
00:22:24300 kilometres an hour.
00:22:27One of the few points around this Spielberg track where the MotoGP bikes do click into top gear.
00:22:33And then right there, we just followed Bez down the hill into a real tough, harsh braking zone down into
00:22:40that fourth corner.
00:22:42Hardest braking zone around the circuit is into Turn 1 where they're decelerating from 311 kilometres down to 98km in
00:22:494.1 seconds.
00:22:51Turn 4 is a pretty brutal workout of your upper body.
00:22:55300km down to 80km an hour in 5.2 seconds.
00:23:00Scrubbing off all that speed over 200km an hour in just over 5 seconds.
00:23:06That's why this is the elite of the elite.
00:23:08That's why these guys are the best of the best.
00:23:11They make it look easy, but it is anything but when you look at the configuration of this Spielberg track.
00:23:17Turn 4 that downhill we rode on board with Bez.
00:23:19That certainly is one of the big overtaking hotspots.
00:23:22I think Jorge Martin was talking to Marco Betsecki after the sprint yesterday.
00:23:26You might have seen it on our social media channels.
00:23:29All of our official MotoGP social media channels in the car after the sprint.
00:23:33I think Betsecki and Martin were saying Acosta is so, so good in that Turn 4.
00:23:40Make it so, so difficult to beat Sandhu.
00:23:42They're going as slowly as they are to save fuel.
00:23:45They're not allowed to refuel once they get onto the grid.
00:23:48So they're in a fuel eco mapping setting on these bikes.
00:23:53You often see them getting into the aerodynamic position as well with their head under the bubble as well
00:23:58to make themselves as aerodynamic as possible so that they can, I guess what is that term?
00:24:02Freewheel it as much as they can to the grid.
00:24:05This is, as we've talked about through the weekend, one of the most fuel thirsty circuits
00:24:09because of the heavy acceleration and heavy braking around this red ball ring circuit.
00:24:14And of course Pedro Acosta was so preoccupied yesterday with checking how his fuel readout was
00:24:20in the closing stages of the sprint that he missed his braking marking and crashed out of the lead.
00:24:25Let's head down to the grid and we can head down to the second row to hear from Alex Marquez
00:24:30speaking in the chat.
00:24:30Yeah, second row to grid for Alex after a brilliant weekend in Masano.
00:24:34It's been a little bit more challenging so far, Alex.
00:24:36We were able to find anything this morning that you hope can propel you into the podium fight.
00:24:41No, not yet.
00:24:42This morning was the conditions were a little bit too cold and we didn't find nothing positive.
00:24:47So yeah, we come back a little bit back from yesterday's bike and we'll try to strike the maximum.
00:24:53We're just a little bit electronic side and all that.
00:24:55So we'll try to be there.
00:24:58We'll be a really long race about the entire life but we'll try to manage the best that we can
00:25:03and be ready for the last lap especially that will be quite tough for everybody.
00:25:07Good luck, have fun.
00:25:09Thank you.
00:25:10Thanks to that.
00:25:10Thanks to Alex Marquez.
00:25:12Here is the grid then.
00:25:13Martin, Marc Marquez and Pedro Costa, a heavyweight front row of the grid.
00:25:17Betzecchi looking to pick up the pieces from fourth.
00:25:19Edna Ayagura and Alex Marquez.
00:25:21Panyaya seventh after coming through in qualifying one yesterday.
00:25:25Gian Antonio Guattararo joined him.
00:25:28Zarco, Binder and Aldeguer.
00:25:30Surprised to see Fermin down in 12th place.
00:25:32Ralph Fernandes 13th head of Polis Fargro and Luca Marini.
00:25:35And in 17th place we find Denea Bastianini on the sixth row.
00:25:39We can hear from him now with you.
00:25:40Yeah, great to be joined by Denea as we make our way off the grid.
00:25:43Obviously a huge race Denea for KTM.
00:25:46So many people here supporting you.
00:25:48Can you put some smiles on Austrian faces today?
00:25:51I hope yes.
00:25:52And let's see.
00:25:53Well, I will start from behind.
00:25:55Pedro is more on the front than the chance to win the race.
00:25:57But, well, I will give the 100% to stay close to the first group trying to do the best.
00:26:04Have a good one.
00:26:05Thank you.
00:26:06Thanks, Jack.
00:26:07Thanks once again then to Enea Bastianini.
00:26:10Of course we know Enea on the move to track out Aprilia in 2026.
00:26:15Seeking some sanctuary away from the limelight.
00:26:17Seeking some shade there is our seven-time world champion.
00:26:21Marc Marquez, listen to his brother Alex talking to Jack there down on the grid.
00:26:24Alex sounded right down in the dumps, didn't he?
00:26:26Very pessimistic about his hopes of fighting for the podium today.
00:26:29He said yesterday after a pretty tricky sprint where he was managing or trying to find rear grip in the
00:26:35hard acceleration zones on that Grinni Ducati.
00:26:38These are Alex's words, not mine.
00:26:40I had zero fun.
00:26:41And at one point he was actually trying to talk to himself and say, Alex, have you forgotten how to
00:26:47ride a mother GP bike?
00:26:49Clearly he hasn't.
00:26:50But let's hope he's going to be a little bit more competitive than what he was in yesterday's sprint.
00:26:56We've talked about fuel consumption.
00:26:57We've talked about how critical that potentially will be in this upcoming Grand Prix.
00:27:02A mother GP bike, just for your information, carries 22 litres of fuel in the main Grand Prix.
00:27:08It carries 12 litres of fuel in yesterday's sprint.
00:27:11So I guess if you're trying to understand in the most simplest of terms how much fuel the mother GP
00:27:16bike carries,
00:27:16just line up 22 one-litre bottles of your favourite drink.
00:27:20And that is how much juice, that's how much gas the teams are allowed to put in to a mother
00:27:26GP bike.
00:27:27And they burn it up quickly around this Red Bull Ring circuit.
00:27:29So it's important to make sure you still have some for those latter stages.
00:27:33You don't want to have to get into a situation where you're using too much
00:27:36and you have to slow down late in the race.
00:27:39Jorge Martin just getting himself into what is essentially his pre-race routine,
00:27:44getting away from the hustle and bustle and the noise and drama of the grid,
00:27:49heading into the quiet sanctuary.
00:27:51It was a prettier box.
00:27:52And he'll now just be getting himself into, I guess, as zen-er state as possible,
00:27:57as calmer state as possible, as he prepares to fire away from pole position in less than 20 minutes' time.
00:28:02And he's got doubts.
00:28:03There are going to still be doubts.
00:28:05Major, major question marks in his mind about whether over the full distance
00:28:10a real tough 28 laps coming his way, whether that arm pump issue
00:28:14which really hampered him last time out in Mozzano seven days ago,
00:28:18how will that be a factor?
00:28:20Will it not be an issue?
00:28:21Because if it is, then Jorge Martin might be under the surgeon's knife
00:28:24as early as tomorrow morning back in Barcelona to fix that arm pump issue.
00:28:29Ayagura made a sensational return to action here, I guess.
00:28:32And that's the prize they're all fighting for.
00:28:34The very distinctive track map for the Red Bull Ring race-winning trophy
00:28:38next to the magnificent Tower of Champions.
00:28:41Who will have their name on that come the end of the season?
00:28:44Ayagura then fourth in yesterday's sprint.
00:28:46Can he go one better than being the podium mix?
00:28:48Let's get the thought to Trackhouse boss.
00:28:50Davide Privio with Jack.
00:28:51Yeah, a lot of smart people that I chat to ahead of this one
00:28:54are saying that Ayagura are a rider for us to keep our eyes on.
00:28:58Everyone, Davide, is telling me this is all about looking after the rear tyre
00:29:02and we know there's arguably nobody better on the grid at doing that than Ayagura.
00:29:06You must fancy his chances today.
00:29:08Yeah, I hope this will be the case today as well.
00:29:12Yeah, it's true.
00:29:14I think it's a race where there is a management of the tyre, also fuel consumption.
00:29:18It's, let's say, one of the track where it's most critical during the year.
00:29:23So, yeah, we know Ayagura is good on managing but, you know,
00:29:26you can manage the tyre, you can manage tyre's consumption when you are in a good situation.
00:29:31If you have a fight or you have to overtake, then probably you put a little bit of stress on
00:29:36the tyre.
00:29:36So, it depends also how the race develops.
00:29:39But, yeah, let's see.
00:29:41I mean, we're already very happy how it went yesterday, the qualifying, the race results of yesterday.
00:29:47We thought it would have been a kind of a comeback race test before Motegi.
00:29:52It's going well.
00:29:53Let's hope to finish the day well and looking forward for Motegi.
00:29:58But, yes, management race, long race.
00:30:01Hopefully, we can do something.
00:30:03Thanks, Davide. Have a good one.
00:30:04Thank you. Bye.
00:30:05Yeah, good just to have Ayagura back in the ranks and good to see him fast and competitive.
00:30:10As Davide Brivio said, they're crucial for him to be back and get some confidence back out of his home
00:30:15Grand Prix in Japan in two weeks' time.
00:30:32Well, we just had a little bit of a pause there just to soak up some of the building pre
00:30:38-race atmosphere here in the Grand Prix of Austria.
00:30:42Fans, young and old, about to witness the fastest riders in the world take on this magnificent Austrian Grand Prix
00:30:49venue.
00:30:49Well, Aprilia are back at the top of the MotoGP World Championship thanks to Hoy Martin's 20th sprint success yesterday.
00:30:56Can they also topple Ducati and KTM once again this afternoon in the main Grand Prix?
00:31:02Aprilia boss Paolo Benora joins Jack.
00:31:03Yeah, fascinating race in front of us because you feel as though Aprilia have got three riders all capable of
00:31:09winning today.
00:31:10Let's firstly start with the man on pole position, Paolo, Jorge Martin.
00:31:13Brilliant result yesterday, but this race is going to be so, so different.
00:31:18What is the key going to be for Jorge?
00:31:20Yeah, absolutely. It's a different race, for sure.
00:31:23Yesterday was unbelievable, the race pace, but today everybody probably will choose the medium.
00:31:28And yeah, the first corner will be the same probably as yesterday, will be a tricky place.
00:31:36But the main things, the key point will be to manage, to manage the rear tyre and the fuel as
00:31:43well.
00:31:43It was so close between Jorge and Mark yesterday up at turn two.
00:31:47I know that he will be anticipating a move will come again.
00:31:51What can he do differently to try and better manage that situation?
00:31:54Every time this is a different situation, but the key will be to don't be too much aggressive.
00:32:02Yesterday was a clean racing behaviour, so we hope that both of them will manage in the same way.
00:32:13Did you find a step with Marco this morning, fastest in warm-up?
00:32:16Yeah, for sure we make a step forward, checking the data and which is common.
00:32:22Thanks, Paolo, good luck.
00:32:24He sounds relaxed, doesn't he? A pretty boss, Paolo.
00:32:27We know the key thing, though, is how relaxed are his riders, Jorge Martin and Marco Betsecki,
00:32:33as our helicopter shot weaves its way through the Esteria Mountains.
00:32:38That's right at the top of some of the spectacular scenery that overlooks this wonderful Spielberg circuit.
00:32:45He first came back here back in 2016 after a 19-year hiatus.
00:32:50I'm sure many of you have spotted throughout our covers this weekend that humongous 18-metre-high bull
00:32:55right in the middle of the Red Bull ring.
00:32:59You know where you are when you come to Spielberg and see the bull.
00:33:03Hopefully a little bit too big for the old mantelpiece.
00:33:06There it is, you can just see there almost right smack back in the middle of your picture.
00:33:09Just on the inside it is of turn six and seven.
00:33:14We will grab the bull by the horns this afternoon.
00:33:17Frankie Morvedelli was certainly hoping so as he goes from 19th place on the grid.
00:33:20He's now speaking to Jack.
00:33:22Yeah, great to be joined by Frankie.
00:33:23Everybody telling me all about looking after that rear tyre today, Frankie.
00:33:27How would you go about doing that here?
00:33:30Well, trying to be gentle in the accelerations and hope.
00:33:38Hopefully you've got the answers. Good luck. Thank you.
00:33:41Well, a very simple plan then from Frankie Morvedelli,
00:33:45who I think it's fair to say is always a little bit, shall we say, conservative with his use of
00:33:52words.
00:33:52We'll keep our fingers crossed then.
00:33:54The master plan, very, very simple from Frankie.
00:33:57Be gentle in acceleration and hope.
00:34:00Well, we certainly hope that we're going to get some spectacle coming up in this race.
00:34:04I love Frankie Morvedelli.
00:34:05He's going to be missed on the MotoGP paddock when he moves to World Super Bikes next year
00:34:09because he is certainly a different character.
00:34:13He certainly brings something very, very different, doesn't he, Frankie?
00:34:16I mean, we've had him once before quoting ACDC to Jack down the grid in Assum
00:34:21when we were getting ACDC belted out pre-race and Jack went up to Frankie and Frankie said,
00:34:26what am I going to do in this race?
00:34:28I'm going to, what was it termed?
00:34:29Ride my fast machine.
00:34:31Ride my fast machine and keep my, that was a terrible impression of Frankie Morvedelli.
00:34:37I do apologise for those of you watching.
00:34:39Well, our experience of interviewing Frankie Morvedelli is,
00:34:42if you're interviewing Frankie, keep two or three extra questions in your back pocket
00:34:45because he does like to try to keep you on your toes and catch you off guard
00:34:48with a bit of a short snappy answer.
00:34:50Get shorter and sweet, no surprise then for Frankie Morvedelli.
00:34:57I think it's a sweet experience here in Spielberg once again is Marc Marquez.
00:35:04Well, it's been a long trip from down under, a very long trip from Australia for those fans
00:35:09who are here to watch Jack Miller. Jack, of course, a fan favourite wherever we go in the world.
00:35:17Hugely, hugely popular.
00:35:18Who's my buddy? Who's my buddy?
00:35:20You're on the big screen, yeah, give us a wave, give us a shout, 43 fans.
00:35:25There is Jack, he loves it.
00:35:27He's all, of course, whenever we go to Phillip Island, you know at Turn 4,
00:35:31named after Jack Miller, of course, what an accolade and honour that was a few years ago,
00:35:35not just for Jack, but the entire Miller family to have Turn 4 at Phillip Island, named after him.
00:35:39And on the outside of Turn 4, there is always a huge posse of Miller fans.
00:35:45They'll be out in force once again in a few weeks' time,
00:35:48and we head down under to the Australian Grand Prix.
00:35:51But we are going to take a pause here in the country box
00:35:55and get ready for what is always a rousing rendition of the Austrian lesson.
00:36:21Set the stream on the island of the river,
00:36:24the land of the river, the land of the waves, where is always a good source.
00:36:29the land of the fields, the land of the waves,
