Ten corners, full speed, heavy braking demands and a stunning, green mountain backdrop: MotoGP returned to Austria for round 13 of 22 and the first of three Grands Prix in four weeks that will also involve journeys to Hungary, Catalunya and San Marino. Red Bull Ring carries extra significance for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and Red Bull KTM Tech3 and is the circuit where the KTM RC16 has tasted victory on two occasions in the past.

Brad Binder
11th in qualification, 5th in the Sprint:
“Definitely much better. In qualifying I didn’t put one decent lap together, which was disappointing. Anyway, when the lights went out for the race I still felt there was a good chance to do something a bit better. I was happy to finish up 5th in the Sprint today; it’s the best feeling I’ve had in a really long time and I’m looking to improve it a little more for tomorrow.”
