00:05:06Я думаю, что в его мнении и в его мнении, в его мнении и в его мнении,
00:05:09что я показал, что если вы просто держите это чуть-чуть,
00:05:14что он будет знать, что вы в него есть,
00:05:17он может быть внушись, что он был в университет,
00:05:20который был в этом месте, когда он действительно подошел в стадии.
00:05:24Алекс Маркес работает его в тюрьме,
00:05:26он просто кланет на 12-й,
00:05:28он получил о своем спании Рао Феннандеса.
00:05:30Мы уже с вами подошли в тюрьме,
00:05:31мы уже подошли в тюрьме, Алекс Маркес.
00:05:35Алекс Маркез just mentioned the fact that he'd just taken 12th back away from Raúl Fernández.
00:05:41A pretty dreadful weekend by Alex Márquez, normally high standards.
00:05:46Just folding the front there, going into the chicane.
00:05:49That is the unwanted hat-trick for Alex.
00:05:51That's his third crash of the weekend.
00:05:53He was down the road twice in qualifying in Mazzano last weekend, wasn't he?
00:05:57But time to pack the suitcases, pack the crates, move on and regroup in Japan in two weeks.
00:06:03He was side-by-side there with Raúl Fernández, but there was no contact at all there between the two.
00:06:07But Alex Márquez off the racing line by a couple of metres and down he went.
00:06:12Acosta is stretching this out on this 13th lap.
00:06:14We're coming up towards half-race distance.
00:06:16The lead is now eight tenths of a second over Jorge Martín.
00:06:20Martín's best hope now to win this Austrian Grand Prix
00:06:23might be that the Aprilia can just keep a little bit more rear tyre in than that KTM in the
00:06:28second half of the race.
00:06:29If it hasn't, then I'm not sure how he's going to pass Acosta,
00:06:31unless Pedro coughs up another mistake.
00:06:34It's all there, the Acosta fan with the shark emblem on the cat.
00:06:38His father is a fisherman.
00:06:40He's from a fishing region, Mercia, down in Spain.
00:06:44He has the shark quantity given to him by his father because of his killer instincts,
00:06:50his fighting spirit.
00:06:52He's been here before though, hasn't he?
00:06:54And not got the job done.
00:06:56Never, never, never will Pedro Acosta get a better chance to be a Monday GP race winner.
00:07:01Here's the start then.
00:07:02You can see Marc Marquez smack bang in the middle of the picture.
00:07:05He did have a little bit of a wheelie there, didn't he, Marc?
00:07:07As he powered away on the factory Ducati.
00:07:09It wasn't a bad start though, was it?
00:07:10Around the outside though goes Marco Betsecki.
00:07:13Ayagura also away well for track out to Aprilia.
00:07:17The KTM, which used to be the fastest starting bike on the grid,
00:07:20it certainly wouldn't appear to be now, does it?
00:07:21Because that's both Grand Prix and sprint,
00:07:23where Pedro Acosta has just been out dragged,
00:07:25pure and simple off the line by Aprilia's behind him.
00:07:29To his great credit though, from fifth coming out of the first corner,
00:07:32he's fought hard to regain the damage.
00:07:34There's Fabio Quattararo whistling past us.
00:07:35We clearly know how he did that,
00:07:37because he went off the road at the first corner, which saw him drop a place.
00:07:40He is still running though, Quattararo, in ninth place,
00:07:43with a large queue of riders right behind him.
00:07:47Acosta down the hill into turn nine.
00:07:49Well, Pip Baro there, we've got for our new Meister, the KTM CEO.
00:07:53The pair of them can barely watch.
00:07:55Have they got any fingernails left?
00:07:57And they're gnawing them down to the bone, aren't they, already?
00:08:00And we're only at the halfway stage of this Grand Prix of Austria.
00:08:03They have previously won twice here, Acosta,
00:08:06trying to be just the third KTM rider to win in Monday GP.
00:08:11Stress levels and heart rates going through the roof right now, aren't they?
00:08:14Inside the KTM garage.
00:08:16So far, so good though.
00:08:17The shark leading by just under seven tenths.
00:08:20Aldergeir has just taken Binder out of picture for fifth place.
00:08:23You might just see Aldergeir coming into picture.
00:08:25You'll see him at the back of the picture shortly.
00:08:27He's now fifth.
00:08:28Binder then down to sixth place.
00:08:30There they are.
00:08:30There's three of them together at the back of the picture.
00:08:32Aldergeir Binder and Marc Marquez, who is still stuck in seventh.
00:08:35He's now in the process of changing that as he launches one on the inside of
00:08:39Greg Binder, who almost literally had to jump out of the World Champions way.
00:08:44He's suffering.
00:08:45Suffering, isn't he, the 93?
00:08:46Oh, no question about it.
00:08:48That was aggressive.
00:08:49Binder would have known.
00:08:50He sees plus zero, 93 on his pit ball,
00:08:53that there's going to be a move coming at some point in this Grand Prix.
00:08:56Important World Championship points, though, here being recovered.
00:08:59But 13 would be the gap between Martin and Marc going to Japan in a couple weeks' time,
00:09:05given the fact they came here level on points
00:09:08and the closest ever Mono GP title fight in history after 14 rounds.
00:09:13I think if you'd have offered Martin a 13-point lead on Thursday
00:09:16with all the doubts about his armpit issue,
00:09:19which robbed him of the chance to fight for victory in Mazzano last time around,
00:09:23Jorge would have signed in blood.
00:09:25And we said after last weekend, and we said early in this weekend,
00:09:28that Aprilia are in danger of throwing away the World Championship this year.
00:09:32Even if it's second and third today,
00:09:34there's no guarantee that it's going to remain second and third.
00:09:36I'm sure Martin hasn't given up just yet on denying Acosta victory.
00:09:40What a result this would be for Aprilia to come to the Red Bull ring,
00:09:43which has been almost Ducati-owned over the years.
00:09:46To beat the Ducatis around here will give Aprilia so much confidence
00:09:50and so much hope going into the latter part of this season.
00:09:53Further down the order there is Luca Marini, running a little bit wide.
00:09:57I don't know if Luca just lost the front there,
00:09:59took in the front on that factory Honda.
00:10:01He's just outside of the points-scoring places before C4.
00:10:05Luca, not a great day at the moment.
00:10:06He's being beaten at the moment, outfought and outraced
00:10:09by HRC substitute rider Taken Nakagami,
00:10:13who's standing in for the absent Dwanmere,
00:10:16the factory Honda rider, absent through illness.
00:10:19Acosta then at the front.
00:10:20And you can just see how much Marc Marquez is struggling.
00:10:23He did a 1.30.7 on that last lap,
00:10:25which did include the overtake on Binda up the hill
00:10:28into the first gear turn three.
00:10:30But he did a 1.30.7, which was half a second,
00:10:33half a second behind Acosta.
00:10:35If Marc Marquez can get up on terms with Fabian Aldeguer,
00:10:38who's next up ahead of him,
00:10:40that's likely to be as good as it gets,
00:10:42unless there's some misfortune for riders up ahead.
00:10:45Marc Marquez is three and a half seconds,
00:10:47behind Diaguro now in fourth place.
00:10:49Of course, we saw those errors in particular
00:10:51into turn one, five or six laps ago.
00:10:54But I didn't expect, with 13 laps, 12 laps shortly to go
00:10:58in this Austrian Grand Prix,
00:10:59to be talking about Marc Marquez,
00:11:01the thick end of seven seconds off the race league.
00:11:04I hate to mention this because Marc hates it being mentioned himself.
00:11:08But of course, he has been dealing with a lack of mobility,
00:11:12certainly a lack of strength in that right arm.
00:11:15Problems sort of dogged him for what, six years now,
00:11:18since he suffered that right humerus fracture,
00:11:20career-threatening injury back at Jerez in 2020.
00:11:24Is the physical side?
00:11:26I mean, his doctor said recently,
00:11:28Marc Marquez's right arm is functioning at 50% capacity.
00:11:31Eleven corners here in the Red Bull Ring,
00:11:34only three of them are left.
00:11:36So, I just wonder whether also,
00:11:38maybe there's some physical issues
00:11:39that Marc's having to contend with.
00:11:41On fast, predominantly right-handed circuits
00:11:43in recent history,
00:11:44he has struggled at Silverstone and in acid.
00:11:47I just wonder,
00:11:48given the fact that this Red Bull Ring circuit
00:11:51is laden with right-handers,
00:11:54where Marc has had his issues throughout this campaign,
00:11:57whether that is something also that he's dealing with.
00:11:59Well, it's an issue he's going to have to, unfortunately,
00:12:01live with for the remainder of this season and beyond.
00:12:04And, of course, we have a lot of clockwise,
00:12:06predominantly right-handed circuits
00:12:07still to come on this calendar.
00:12:09Mobility Resort for Techie in two weeks' time.
00:12:11Similar in characteristics to this, too.
00:12:13Very much stop-and-go, but a clockwise circuit.
00:12:16So, too, is the Mandelika circuit in Indonesia.
00:12:19We've got the anti-clockwise circuit of Phillip Island.
00:12:21We go clockwise in Sepang and in Portimao
00:12:24before an anti-clockwise circuit in Valencia
00:12:26to end the season.
00:12:27So, if Marc Marquez is going to struggle
00:12:28around right-handed circuits,
00:12:30there's plenty more where that came from.
00:12:32I'm not saying that's his issue
00:12:33or his main bugbear at all,
00:12:35but you also have to factor in the fact
00:12:37that if you've got a right arm
00:12:38that is operating in only 50% of its capacity
00:12:41and potential here in Austria,
00:12:43where there are so many brutal braking zones,
00:12:47you're on and off the throttle all the time as well.
00:12:50It's going to be a tough, tough outing this one.
00:12:52He always felt like it would be for Marc.
00:12:55He certainly would have expected
00:12:56to be a lot more competitive than he has.
00:12:59I know that Marc won't use it as an excuse post-race
00:13:01because he seldom does.
00:13:02He reluctantly put out that picture, didn't he,
00:13:04just a few weeks ago
00:13:05where he was getting sick to the back teeth
00:13:07of people referencing this nerve issue
00:13:10that he had early on in the season
00:13:11which required surgery back after Le Mans.
00:13:13He put out a picture which showed,
00:13:15hoping to put it all to bed,
00:13:17just the lack of muscle mass he has in the right arm
00:13:19and particularly in the right-hand side of his chest.
00:13:22But, yeah, this has been one of the tougher Grand Prix's
00:13:25four marks so far in 2026.
00:13:28This has not been in the game.
00:13:29It's not just for Marc Marquez
00:13:30but for Ducati collectively.
00:13:32Given that, we've got a top four at the moment
00:13:34of a KTM and three Aprilias.
00:13:36Aprilias, second, third and fourth.
00:13:38This is the battle for top Ducati.
00:13:40Fifth and sixth, Fermin Aldeguer
00:13:42versus the recovering, I guess we have to say
00:13:44at this stage of the race, Marc Marquez
00:13:46who looks like he's got superior speed at this stage
00:13:48and to the 54 ahead of him.
00:13:51I can't see there's any obvious signs that Marc
00:13:53is maybe positioning the arm in a different way.
00:13:56Oh, Harden the brakes now, Ducati snapping underneath him,
00:14:00going down into turn nine.
00:14:01This fight, last year, between Aldeguer and Marc Marquez
00:14:05was for the win.
00:14:07Marc holding off Fermin Aldeguer
00:14:08in a pretty dramatic end to last year's Austrian Grand Prix.
00:14:11Side by side, Marc's going to try and level Fermin
00:14:14in the brakes up the hill into the first corner.
00:14:17He's not close enough to make the attack
00:14:19and again with lean angle as he's asking for the power
00:14:22coming out of turn one.
00:14:23You can see the twitch, just how nervous that Ducati was
00:14:27underneath the seven-time world champion.
00:14:30Back at the front, he can keep tabs on Acosta
00:14:32at the lead of this Grand Prix.
00:14:34His advantage is still six tenths of a second.
00:14:37On that last lap, in fact, the two Aprilies behind him
00:14:39were slightly faster.
00:14:42I don't know whether Acosta might just be giving himself
00:14:44a little bit of a breather, a little bit of a pause,
00:14:46to keep him some energy, and more importantly,
00:14:48some tire life for a late attack.
00:14:51So, what, about a third of this Grand Prix to go yet,
00:14:55so Acosta can't afford to run out of ammunition
00:14:57and run out of juice at this stage of the race,
00:15:00as Marc Marquez continues to shadow Aldeguer.
00:15:03Of course, Marc Marquez, his natural sort of instinct is to attack,
00:15:07but he, of course, cannot afford to get into a silly collision
00:15:10with Fermin Aldeguer and lose those ten points for sixth place.
00:15:14Ten points, clearly a lot better than nothing.
00:15:18Yeah, you just wonder, with the hallway, Martin,
00:15:21at what point does he just call off the dogs here and say,
00:15:25okay, second at 20 points for the championship.
00:15:28After a sprint victory, heck of a weekend for him
00:15:31and a prudia here in Spielberg.
00:15:33Down the hill, Aldeguer and Marc go there.
00:15:35Of course, Alex Marquez already out of contention in this Grand Prix
00:15:39when he was outside of the top ten.
00:15:41We've seen this before on the previous lap.
00:15:44This time around, Marc does seize the inside line.
00:15:47He will have the advantage.
00:15:48He'll cut to the curve on the inside.
00:15:50He had track position there, didn't he, on the inside, did Marc.
00:15:54So now, once again, he wrestles back fifth place
00:15:57and picks up one point back in the title chase.
00:16:00Yeah, Brad Binder still behind them.
00:16:02You just saw him in his own battle with Pekka Banyaer.
00:16:04They're battling for seventh and eighth.
00:16:07Yes, we are in KTM country here in Austria,
00:16:09but there are still plenty of 93 fans around this circuit.
00:16:13He has so much support everywhere he goes.
00:16:16Of course, we'll be heading to Metegui next
00:16:18where he won the last of his seven world championships last year.
00:16:22But his hopes of an eighth this year
00:16:24are certainly taking a bit of a blow today.
00:16:26Cracking ride by Binder.
00:16:27Happy to give a shout out to the South African.
00:16:29He has not scored a top six him on a GP
00:16:32since the back end of 2025
00:16:34when he was fifth over the line in the Portuguese Grand Prix
00:16:37at Portimao.
00:16:39Martin now over a second behind Acosta,
00:16:43which is going to light up the eyes here
00:16:45of his factory april team mate, Marco Betsechi.
00:16:48Is this the moment of the Grand Prix where Pedro Acosta
00:16:51is just a little bit too hot to handle for the aprilies behind him?
00:16:55As Jorge Martin sort of thinking,
00:16:57OK, well, I pushed him, I pushed him.
00:16:59He hasn't made the unforced error yet.
00:17:01He did yesterday as we get a spectacular shot.
00:17:03That was early on down the hill into turn four.
00:17:07Yeah, Martin already sort of looking over to his right-hand side.
00:17:11There you can see Acosta looking over to his left
00:17:13because as Martin is hung off the right-hand side of the bike,
00:17:16it would be very easy for him to just sweep across the front tie there of Acosta.
00:17:19So Acosta recognizing what was going on,
00:17:21he had the best view of what was happening
00:17:23and backed out of that waiting for his moments.
00:17:26Here was that moment.
00:17:28It could potentially be one of the biggest moments
00:17:31of Pedro Acosta's Grand Prix career so far.
00:17:34When he was in Moto3 and in Moto2,
00:17:36I mean, he burst onto the seat in Moto3,
00:17:38did he winning a Grand Prix from pit lane?
00:17:41What was his second ever start?
00:17:43He was always marked out as being something extra special.
00:17:46He was known as an alien, of course.
00:17:49You go back to the likes of Valentino Rossi,
00:17:50or Lorenzo, Mark Marquez, Casey Stoner.
00:17:53They had that moniker, didn't they?
00:17:55Alien talents, out-of-this-world talents.
00:17:58And Pedro Acosta has had that sort of alien tag.
00:18:00Like a monumental ton weight on his shoulders since he came into MotoGP back in 2024.
00:18:08A serial winner in Moto3 and Moto2.
00:18:12World champions in the feeder classes to MotoGP.
00:18:15I don't think anybody in their wildest dreams, Pedro Acosta being top of the pile,
00:18:21could have ever imagined he'd have to wait 56 Grand Prixs
00:18:24before he was going to be victorious in MotoGP.
00:18:27It is not over yet.
00:18:29And we saw yesterday in the sprint, never say never in MotoGP,
00:18:33but it's Acosta that is still leading.
00:18:35His lead has been trimmed on this lap.
00:18:3731-0 for Acosta on the last lap.
00:18:39First time we've seen him in the 31s in this race.
00:18:42The three Aprilia's behind him, and I stress three Aprilia's,
00:18:45because Ayagura's the fastest rider with a lot of them in fourth place.
00:18:48We're all in the 130s, and we do know that that Aprilia
00:18:51looks after its rear tire very, very well.
00:18:56The last two Grand Prix podiums have been third places at Silverstone
00:19:00and in Aragon.
00:19:02Here's the destination P3.
00:19:03Once again, four pairs.
00:19:06Through turn three we go.
00:19:07Bottom gear, first gear corner for Pedro Acosta.
00:19:11You can see now moving his body weight,
00:19:13forcing the bike onto the fat part of the tower
00:19:15to pick up the best drive grip we possibly could.
00:19:19Down there he goes, and now into turn four.
00:19:21His advantage just over three-quarters of a second.
00:19:24Back to Martin.
00:19:25Let's get on a cost update from Jack.
00:19:28Yeah, the last time around he was given plus one on his pit board
00:19:31to indicate one second advantage for the very first time.
00:19:35That next lap is when that first 1 minute 31 lap came.
00:19:39I wonder if he just relaxed for a moment.
00:19:41He certainly won't now, because the next time he came around
00:19:43he saw that the Aprilia's behind had posted a 30.7,
00:19:47three tenths quicker than him, and the gap was under a second again.
00:19:50So Acosta had to react.
00:19:53And react he did.
00:19:54Thank you very much, Jack.
00:19:55Pedro Acosta then.
00:19:58We're on board with the Spanish rider,
00:20:01the supremely gifted, the supremely talented Spaniard.
00:20:05His race has been picked to perfect so far, hasn't he?
00:20:08He goes through the gearbox on the KTM RC16.
00:20:12I just see the sort of win factor there on his undersuit on the KTM.
00:20:17As soon as you come out of that bubble,
00:20:19it's trying to get a wrench off the back of that KTM
00:20:22as you try and stop up the hill into the first corner.
00:20:26This time around, I reckon every time now Acosta breaks for 2A and 2B.
00:20:30He won't be looking down at his dash.
00:20:31That chicane, all of KTM's team crew just sort of are watching through their fingers.
00:20:37Yeah, you're right, though.
00:20:38It's after yesterday's absolutely monumental ball drop in the sprint
00:20:41when he briefly looked down at his dashboard,
00:20:44wringer out of fuel consumption, and the laps left.
00:20:47That's when he went hurting into the gravel at the chicane.
00:20:50I've got a funny feeling that lightning isn't going to strike twice.
00:20:54Well, it was a good spot by Jack because Acosta has responded.
00:20:57Straight back down to a 30.6 on the following lap.
00:21:00That dropped his lap time by four tenths of a second,
00:21:02just to eclair advantage back out over Jorge Martin to around a second.
00:21:06And I would love to know at what stage is Jorge Martin's mentality shift
00:21:10from worrying about Acosta up ahead and trying to chase him down,
00:21:14and thinking about Marco Bettecki,
00:21:15who he obviously has to still consider a World Championship rival,
00:21:18who's very close behind him for second and third.
00:21:23Yeah, looks like he's on rails.
00:21:25Just looks like he's absolutely stuck to the tarmac, isn't he?
00:21:28He's been brilliant. He has been utterly, utterly brilliant.
00:21:31Down the hill he goes into Turn 10.
00:21:34As mentioned, just Binder and Oliveira in Grand Prix history
00:21:38have the accolade of winning Grand Prixs for KTM in Mono GP.
00:21:44It is over five years since the Austrian manufacturer were victorious in a dry Monday GP race.
00:21:53Oliveira getting the job done at Barcelona back in 2021.
00:21:58Game on for the podium, flagging right at stake here,
00:22:01an important World Championship point at stake here as far as the Aprilias go.
00:22:06Martin, another rider, Lewis, who has not made a single mistake.
00:22:10We saw the early mistake by Bez at Turn 10, but the top two have ridden quite superbly.
00:22:16We asked the question yesterday after, of course, Acosta's crash and Martin's subsequent victory.
00:22:21What that might have looked like had Martin been at the front throughout?
00:22:25Would he have been able to beat Pedro Acosta head-to-head?
00:22:28Martin seemed to suggest yesterday that he didn't think he had Pedro Acosta's ultimate pace
00:22:33to beat him in a straight head-to-head.
00:22:34And so far, with four and a half laps still to go, that is how it's panning out on the
00:22:39Sunday.
00:22:40Acosta, fastest in both sessions on Friday, front row start yesterday,
00:22:45was on course to win the sprint on Saturday afternoon.
00:22:47But for all the agony of losing a certain sprint win,
00:22:51that would certainly be cancelled out by the ecstasy of a maiden MotoGP win
00:22:55if he can hang this out for four and a half more laps.
00:22:59Not wrong with his bounce-back ability at the moment is there.
00:23:03Acosta, all now down to his mettle, his focus, his concentration.
00:23:09There was a lapse in it yesterday which cost him so dearly in the sprint
00:23:13when he was two and a half seconds up the road clear of Martinez-Betzecki.
00:23:18Wow, what a time to ride on board with Jorge Martinez.
00:23:21We've got a face full of Betzecki's factory aprilia.
00:23:24That would have cost him a little bit of exit speed, though, there.
00:23:26Charging in hot into that first corner.
00:23:29Just over, well, we can see he's overriding the aprilia to try here
00:23:33and build that pressure on Acosta and Martin.
00:23:37Yeah, Betzecki fancies second place here
00:23:39and they would be very useful points if he can get them.
00:23:41At the start of this Grand Prix, remember, Betzecki, 35 points by Jorge Martin.
00:23:46As much as he's gaining big points on Marc Marquez today,
00:23:49Betzecki is going to be further away from the World Championship lead
00:23:52unless he can pass his teammate in the final four laps.
00:23:57Acosta, I'm sure, behind the scenes in the KTM offices last night in his motorhome,
00:24:02would have been raging, absolutely livid with himself.
00:24:05Talk about channelling that frustration,
00:24:09channelling that anger into positive energy here
00:24:12on the most important day of a Grand Prix weekend.
00:24:16Acosta still 1.2 seconds, he is clear of Martin.
00:24:20Agoura, well, sometimes he is the master of the late race attacks, isn't he, Agoura?
00:24:26We know how good he is at managing the fading grip, how good he is at managing deteriorating tyres.
00:24:32Don't discount Agoura here from a potential podium fight late on.
00:24:36Fourth on its own, though, would be a heck of a result for Agoura under the circumstances,
00:24:40returning from a broken thumb.
00:24:41And it might put a few extra thousands on the attendance in a couple of weeks' time
00:24:45when we head to the memorability resort, Betegi,
00:24:47where the Japanese fans will show up there in two weeks' time
00:24:50with the genuine hope of seeing one of their own win at home,
00:24:54because Agoura is back, and back big time.
00:24:56Right here with three to go, and yes, they sprint.
00:24:59Acosta went tumbling out of contention this time around.
00:25:03History at this stage is not going to repeat itself.
00:25:06He charges up towards the first gear, turn three.
00:25:10A gang of apritias trying to put him under intense pressure,
00:25:15the seafield buckle, seafield crack once again.
00:25:17Down we go, into that hollow, into the dip, 300 kilometers an hour.
00:25:21Now down the hill, Acosta will go.
00:25:23This is turn four, which has been...
00:25:25There you go, look, the sweaty palms.
00:25:27I've got sweaty palms here in the comedy box.
00:25:29We've all, all of us have waited so, so long for this moment.
00:25:33When would the time be for Pedro Acosta
00:25:36to take the next step in his Grand Prix career
00:25:39onto the top step of the podium in Madrid GP?
00:25:42He's not even, what, 10 kilometers away
00:25:44from one of the best days of his Grand Prix career.
00:25:46I'm surprised, actually, at the moment,
00:25:48that the KTM management,
00:25:49Pip Byron, Gottfried Neumeister, can actually watch the screens.
00:25:53Well, there's no question.
00:25:54We're dealing with a stratospheric talent in Pedro Acosta.
00:25:57But to a certain extent, he owes his Grand Prix career to KTM.
00:26:01They gave him the opportunity at Grand Prix level in Moto3.
00:26:05And Pedro Acosta, with a Moto3 world title, a Moto2 world title,
00:26:08and 15 Grand Prix wins across Moto3 and Moto2,
00:26:12all have been taken on a Red Bull sponsored KTM.
00:26:16Is it written in the stars that at the Red Bull ring in KTM country,
00:26:21Pedro Acosta is going to break his duck?
00:26:23Every little noise he's hearing on that KTM.
00:26:27He'll be thinking, please, please, please, I'm so, so close.
00:26:31He can almost reach out and touch the silverware.
00:26:34He can almost taste the race-fitting Prosecco, can't he?
00:26:37Up the hill he goes into turn three, just dropping the right leg.
00:26:421.2 seconds, he remains clear of Martin.
00:26:45Martin clinging on for dear life for those valuable 20 points in the World Championship.
00:26:50There is Betseki-Milio picture on the number 72 bike.
00:26:53They drop down the hill into turn four.
00:26:55Still advantage Martin, Betseki and Nagura.
00:26:58Close, but not close enough.
00:27:00And Acosta will be listening to all the noises from his KTM,
00:27:03because it has broken down on him quite a few times this season.
00:27:06A lot of those were, of course, pre-summer break.
00:27:09They have clearly made improvements to that bike from a reliability point of view,
00:27:13and it would be vindication too for KTM to take victory today.
00:27:17As we told you before the race,
00:27:18they haven't won a MotoGP race of any description for nearly four years,
00:27:22save for a couple of Brad Binder sprint wins early in 2023.
00:27:26And it is over five years since this motorcycle, the KTM RC16, has won a MotoGP race.
00:27:34And all that stands now between Pedro Acosta and his moments in the limelight,
00:27:40his moment to seize is right now, surely.
00:27:43Over the line he goes, one lap remaining,
00:27:46one of the biggest laps of Pedro Acosta's young career.
00:27:50He's tasted so much success.
00:27:52He's tasted so much glory in his Grand Prix race career,
00:27:56but nothing, nothing comes close, does it,
00:27:58to winning your first ever MotoGP race.
00:28:01Through 2A and 2B we go.
00:28:04He does, on this occasion, negotiate that final chicane.
00:28:08Up into turn three, just eight corners now, then standing between Pedro Acosta and his long overdue,
00:28:16his richly deserved maiden MotoGP victory.
00:28:19The fastest mullet in the business, he is one of MotoGP's great characters,
00:28:24he's a fun-loving character, he certainly has his fair share of bravado,
00:28:29but surely he must have been red-faced, surely it must have stung to lose a sprint win
00:28:33that was almost in his hands yesterday.
00:28:36But talking about evening the score today and putting the devastation behind him yesterday,
00:28:41he has been faultless today.
00:28:42Down the hill he goes.
00:28:44There is the Shark fans.
00:28:46They can't believe quite what they're witnessing.
00:28:49And he's 56, MotoGP's up.
00:28:51Pit Byra, look, he can't watch the screens.
00:28:53Pit Byra with his eyes closed, KTM Motorsport director,
00:28:57who's done so much to polish this rough diamond into a gem,
00:29:02and he's going to turn him into a MotoGP race winner for the first time
00:29:06because there's one corner left.
00:29:09KTM are in dreamland.
00:29:10KTM conquer Spielberg.
00:29:13And Pedro Acosta is a first-time race winner in MotoGP.
00:29:19He has finally, finally done it.
00:29:23In Grand Prix start 56 in the Premier Class, Pedro Acosta is a Grand Prix winner.
00:29:32He has finally, finally done it.
00:29:35All the questions, all of the incessant questions about when will he finally break his winning duck?
00:29:43How will he end what has been a winning drought going all the way back to the Indonesian Grand Prix
00:29:51Moto2 back in 2023?
00:29:57All I'll say is it's about time.
00:30:00He has been more than good enough to win a MotoGP race until now for a variety of factors,
00:30:05be it bad luck, be it better equipment for his rivals.
00:30:09Acosta has been kept waiting for far too long because he is one of the very best in the world.
00:30:14No one rode better than him in Misano last weekend when he had to make do with third place.
00:30:19And after he found himself in that very gravel trap yesterday when he crashed out of the sprint,
00:30:24Pedro Acosta gets even today.
00:30:27Brilliant.
00:30:28He is such a great, great character, isn't he?
00:30:31And he's actually taking the mickey out of himself here, isn't he?
00:30:35He knows that he should have won the sprint yesterday.
00:30:37This should have been a double.
00:30:39Congrats!
00:30:40Congrats!
00:30:40Congrats!
00:30:41Congrats!
00:30:42Alright, push me please!
00:30:43Yes!
00:30:45The Marshalls quickly on scene saying congratulations.
00:30:49He says push me please.
00:30:51Well, he pushed himself to the absolute limit and he has finally done it.
00:30:59Well, I never ever thought when he exploded onto the MotoGP scene as a rookie, a hot rookie back in
00:31:052024,
00:31:06we'd have to wait this long to utter these words that Pedro Acosta will never ever tire of
00:31:14because finally, at the age of 22, the shark shines.
00:31:18Pedro Acosta is your race winner here.
00:31:21This was the heartache.
00:31:23This was the disaster.
00:31:25What an own goal this was yesterday when he was 2.5 seconds clear of Jorge Martin
00:31:30with three laps to go in the sprint.
00:31:33and talk about sort of having a laugh at yourself, having a real gig at yourself.
00:31:39This is why he is such a character.
00:31:41You knew this was coming.
00:31:43This is one crash that KTM will not mind Pedro Acosta having.
00:31:50Absolutely brilliant.
00:31:52Has there been any other rider that celebrated a MotoGP win with a crash in a chicane?
00:31:56Look at the scenes down in KTM pit.
00:32:00He's pinching himself.
00:32:02Yeah, we've done it.
00:32:02We've done it.
00:32:03Finally, we're back on the top step.
00:32:05Paul Tabath and Pedro Acosta's cruise.
00:32:08Can he even talk, Jack?
00:32:09Yeah, he's been with Pedro every step of the way since this MotoGP journey began.
00:32:14He's done it, Paul.
00:32:15Finally.
00:32:16Can you believe it?
00:32:16No, it's been a bit of an up and down weekend, you know.
00:32:20So he had the speed yesterday was a disaster for him also.
00:32:25And to come back like this now, fantastic.
00:32:27I can see the emotion.
00:32:28Why does this mean so much?
00:32:30Just a kid, you know.
00:32:32He's given us everything.
00:32:33So really, really proud.
00:32:35Go and enjoy it, Paul.
00:32:36Go on.
00:32:37Paul Tabath and he's a tough old Kiwi is, Paul.
00:32:40And you can see his heart's been melted.
00:32:42Can't fight back the tears.
00:32:45Paul Tabath and who has been at Pedro Acosta's side for the last couple of years.
00:32:51The Shark bands now, they're going to be celebrating.
00:32:54He came here as a big favourite, having dominated the practice on Friday.
00:33:00What a way to bounce back from adversity as well for Acosta yesterday.
00:33:04On the floor, crashing out of a comfortable leading sprint.
00:33:08He was on his backside this morning.
00:33:10And they almost said she was at turn nine.
00:33:11Hardly confidence-inspiring to take into a main Grand Prix.
00:33:16But he has done it.
00:33:17Finally, finally.
00:33:19Well, this great championship began all the way back in 1949.
00:33:2377 years.
00:33:25And Pedro Acosta becomes the 126th different rider to win in the MotoGP World Championship.
00:33:31It's Acosta's day.
00:33:33Not Ducati and Marc Marquez's day at all.
00:33:367.3 seconds off the win for Marc Marquez today in fifth position.
00:33:41He loses nine points.
00:33:43Jorge Martin will leave here with a 12-point World Championship lead over Marc Marquez.
00:33:48And he'd have signed for that before the weekend got underway.
00:33:51Ultimately, he could not reel in Acosta today.
00:33:53It's got worse for Ducati also because Firmin Aldeguer has dropped to place due to a long lap penalty post
00:33:59-race.
00:33:59He finishes eighth.
00:34:13Come on!
00:34:16Come on!
00:34:16Come on!
00:34:17We've done it!
00:34:26Jumping into his jubilant factory KTM crew and eventually, and very soon, jumping onto the top set of the podium
00:34:35for the first time in MotoGP.
00:34:39He's done it.
00:34:40He's finally broken through the ceiling.
00:34:42No longer will he have to face a barrage of questions about, well, when are you going to win for
00:34:47the first time in MotoGP?
00:34:49Because you always felt that today potentially was going to be Pedro Acosta's date with destiny.
00:34:58And on the 20th of September, 2026, it was his date with destiny because he is now finally a first
00:35:07time MotoGP winner.
00:35:09He would have taken a MotoGP win absolutely anywhere.
00:35:12But to do it here at KTM's home Grand Prix because of how much KTM has meant to him, it
00:35:18was with a very heavy heart that he agreed to leave them to head for Ducati next season.
00:35:23And of course, he still has another seven races to go with KTM, but this ain't a bad farewell gift
00:35:28for Pedro Acosta.
00:35:36He goes to celebrate with his great friend Alex Escreege there, giving him a proper slap on the head now,
00:35:43a big embrace.
00:35:44His sister Miriam Acosta right there in the middle of the picture, always at Pedro's side.
00:35:50MotoGP CEO Carmelo Espalleta comes to congratulate our newest MotoGP winner.
00:35:58And finally, that long, long record has gone.
00:36:02I'm so, so happy we don't have to ask him about that anymore or mention that statistic.
00:36:05Because coming into this Spielberg clash, 15 MotoGP podiums meant that no rider in history had ever scored more podiums
00:36:14than Acosta.
00:36:16There is Paul Trevathan.
00:36:17Sweet 16 for Pedro Acosta today, his 16th MotoGP podium is a win, his 16th career Grand Prix victory, all
00:36:26of which have been with KTM as his first in MotoGP.
00:36:31Ayagura, there you go, straight away goes the ice pack on the left thumb for Agurasan.
00:36:36Look at those scars all over Aguras, that left hand.
00:36:40It looks like he's been having a fight with a polar bear, doesn't it, Ayagura?
00:36:42Great ride, though, fourth place.
00:36:45Another top performance by Marco Betsecki.
00:36:47He finishes third in that Austrian Grand Prix.
00:36:50He's with Jack.
00:36:52Well, Marco, you've been telling us all weekends that this hasn't been the easiest one of the season so far.
00:36:58So, to come away with it, with a pair of podiums, what does that say about the work that both
00:37:03you and the team have done here in Austria?
00:37:05Yeah, it wasn't an easy weekend.
00:37:07We started not super good on Friday and we struggled a bit to find a way.
00:37:12Fortunately, this morning I improved a lot my riding.
00:37:15I studied everything last night to try to improve and I started very well.
00:37:21But when Jorge passed me, I started to have a lot of problems with the front
00:37:25and Pedro also catch me and passed me.
00:37:28I was struggling at the beginning, but then through all the laps I started to feel better and better
00:37:34and to close to the end I was not so bad.
00:37:39So, I'm happy, thankful to the team.
00:37:42They've been amazing and now we move on to the Asian trip.
00:37:48Great job today, Marco.
00:37:49Well done.
00:37:49Thank you.
00:37:50That's all.
00:37:52Two incredibly hard-earned and hard-fought third places here this weekend for Marco Betsecki
00:37:58and you do have to give him an enormous amount of kudos.
00:38:02Let's not forget he came here on the back foot.
00:38:06He came here with the bitter frustration, the bitter disappointment of crashing out the lead
00:38:11in his home Grand Prix on the very first lap in San Marino last weekend.
00:38:16Last weekend it was dejection for the 72 fans.
00:38:20Today it's a little bit more elation.
00:38:22He had to work hard for that third spot.
00:38:26Important third place for Betse in the World Championship.
00:38:30A great weekend for the Factory of Prudy team when you think that they've got a double Sunday podium.
00:38:36They've got a pole position for Jorge Martin.
00:38:39A sprint win and second place in the Grand Prix.
00:38:42Let's get the thoughts of the World Championship leader on that Austrian battle here.
00:38:46Jorge Martin with Jack.
00:38:48Jorge, what a great weekend.
00:38:50Sprint victory yesterday.
00:38:52You made Pedro's life as difficult as possible today.
00:38:55And before we pack our bags and head to Japan, you'll head there as the World Championship leader again.
00:39:00How nice does that sound?
00:39:01Yeah, for sure it sounds incredible.
00:39:02I want to congratulate Pedro.
00:39:04He fought a lot during the last few years to get this victory.
00:39:06And you know, this feeling is amazing for him.
00:39:09So I'm really happy for him.
00:39:10And yeah, for myself, I think I did a great race.
00:39:13I was trying to manage the fuel.
00:39:15Then Pedro took me.
00:39:16But I thought everything was under control.
00:39:19But step by step, he was stepping away.
00:39:21I was trying to push a bit more.
00:39:23But my rear tire was completely destroyed.
00:39:26I did my best.
00:39:27Maybe we could improve in some different points.
00:39:29But yeah, we had a great weekend.
00:39:31This is what we have to do every weekend the rest of the season.
00:39:34And yeah, the fight is on.
00:39:36So we're looking forward to continue like this.
00:39:39Super job.
00:39:40Well done, Gil.
00:39:41The fight is well and truly on.
00:39:4412 points is advantage over Marc Marquez will be heading to the flyaway tour in a couple of weeks time.
00:39:51He did some of the front running.
00:39:53I suppose the most positive news.
00:39:55There was no mention of any problems with his arm at the end of that Grand Prix.
00:39:58He was worried about maybe having to go for surgery tomorrow back in Barcelona after all the issues that came
00:40:04his way last time out.
00:40:06But this is going to be an epic pose race interview because he always tends to give you something special.
00:40:14Such a great character.
00:40:15A larger than life character.
00:40:23God's free new Meister, of course, over the last couple of years.
00:40:27A financial crisis which engulf KTM which threatened their existence.
00:40:32Thankfully they have been able to continue and thankfully Pedro Acosta is a MotoGP race winner for the very first
00:40:43time.
00:40:43It would have killed him.
00:40:46It would have hurt him to the moon and back if he had not won for KTM before making the
00:40:52big move to the factory Ducati team next year.
00:40:56But we can say he's done it.
00:40:59He is a MotoGP race winner.
00:41:02Pit Byra.
00:41:03Look at the pride.
00:41:05Exed all over the face.
00:41:07The relief, the ecstasy all over the face of KTM Motorsport director Pit Byra.
00:41:11A big puffing out of the cheeks there from Pit.
00:41:16Congratulations Pedro Acosta.
00:41:18They've won Moto3 and Moto2 world titles together.
00:41:21And finally they can say together as a pair they were victorious in MotoGP.
00:41:29Let's hear all about it from your Spielberg superstar and your newest MotoGP race winner Pedro Acosta.
00:41:38Pedro, you've done it after nearly three years of trying.
00:41:43How does it feel to finally be a MotoGP winner?
00:41:47Yeah, I still remember the last time in Indonesia Moto2, you know.
00:41:51I mean, the first one is always special.
00:41:53Nice way to close a circle with KTM in front of all Austrian fans.
00:41:58There were many KTM teachers around for this.
00:42:00Super happy for them, buddy, because they deserve even more than me.
00:42:04There was really good people around when yesterday I fucked up and, you know, can't give them.
00:42:12This result was amazing.
00:42:14Huge congratulations.
00:42:15Thank you boys.
00:42:19Pedro Acosta, known worldwide as the Shark, is finally a MotoGP winner.
00:42:27No surprise, he's the rider of the race as well.
00:42:32He was given a run through his money, wasn't he?
00:42:34Throughout that Grand Prix, particularly in the early stages,
00:42:37when from pole position, Jorge Martin got his head down.
00:42:41This was one of the closest moments in the Grand Prix.
00:42:45Acosta knew there that there was a potential as Martin stuck to his normal racing line on the outside of
00:42:50Turn 5 that maybe some contact was coming, but it didn't take him too long to hit the front.
00:42:56And from that point onwards, there was never a single chance, not any remote chance that he was going to
00:43:05blow it once again, just as he did in yesterday's sprint.
00:43:07He has done it.
00:43:08Just the third KTM rider in history to win in Monday GP.
00:43:12Their first success in over a hundred races in the dry.
00:43:16Look what it means to his crew chief, Paul Trevathan.
00:43:19Just look what it means to senior KTM management.
00:43:27Wild celebrations are going to ensue there as KTM, well they've been here before, they've won twice in their home
00:43:34Grand Prix.
00:43:35This one will feel sweet, super, super sweet as the shark shows his teeth and shows that he is one
00:43:46of the best riders in the world.
00:43:49His airbags gone off, he's celebrating so hard.
00:43:52Different circumstances to yesterday.
00:43:54Yeah, and I just love the celebration, it's just so Pedro Acosta.
00:43:58Alex Marquez, didn't he, did it last year, didn't he, in Barcelona?
00:44:01With Alex, did he crash out of the ground?
00:44:03Hang on a minute, steady on boys.
00:44:05Well, the laying down on the bike in the chicane was almost the second crash that Pedro Acosta has had.
00:44:11Mark Marquez acknowledges his future teammate, his future big arch rival, his future sparring partner at Ducati.
00:44:19And that is brilliant.
00:44:21Love it.
00:44:22Absolutely love it.
00:44:24The cheeky celebration to boot as well.
00:44:26He's got laughing at his own mistake yesterday, laughing at his own unforced error.
00:44:31But he's done it.
00:44:32And he has done it in the perfect place in KTM's home Grand Prix, at the Red Bull-owned Spielberg
00:44:40track.
00:44:41No better place to break your winning duck.
00:44:45And close a circle, as he puts it, with KTM.
00:44:49Here are your top three, an exuberant Pedro Acosta.
00:44:53Who had gone down the 오�endesk?
00:44:54No, but he was right.
00:44:54And, then, when he got past, you couldn't pass.
00:44:57I couldn't pass, I couldn't.
00:44:59No, I could never stop.
00:45:11I wanted too.
00:45:12He was right.
00:45:17And, then, again, he went to last too.
00:45:19And, then, he went to the edge.
00:45:19And, then, when he went to the night, he went to the right.
00:45:20And he went to the right and the rest a little bit.
00:45:22And then, when he took it out.
00:45:22He left first.
00:45:22And, then, he went to the right.
00:45:22Садимся очень плохо, тихо.
00:45:27Ты такой фрерат как животное.
00:45:33Стя, сейчас я у тебя recuperал.
00:45:38Но вы две...
00:45:39Вы уехали тоже плохо.
00:45:40Да, я уехал.
00:45:41Да, я уехал.
00:45:42Я уехал.
