Unfinished business: Dovizioso vs Márquez to reign the Ring
Spielberg, 13 August 2017



Spielberg hosts an all-time classic as it's a Ducati vs Honda head-to-head to the line.

Some races immediately enter the history books as the flag falls. The 2017 Austrian GP proves one such example, as Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) and Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda Team) staged a showcase of the best of the sport, right down to the wire.

Almost side-by-side over the line, it was ‘DesmoDovi’ who took his third win of the year – with Márquez just keeping it on track for second in signature style. Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team) completed the podium, coming back in style from a Q1 hurdle on Saturday to make big points gains in the standings.

Tactical masterstroke: Márquez blitzes flag-to-flag at Brno
Brno, 6 August 2017



Reigning Champion plays his hand to perfection as rivals face a mad dash back through the field.

Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda Team) threw down the gauntlet to his Championship rivals in the Czech GP, with the race declared wet but the track quickly drying at the start – conditions made for a tactical masterstroke for those willing to gamble.

And that’s exactly what the number 93 pulled off. A second consecutive victory saw him grow his Championship lead, with teammate Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team) closing in on those above him in the standings with an impressive ride into second – taking his 150th podium. Maverick Viñales (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) managed to charge back up through the field to complete the rostrum, limiting the damage caused by pitting later and keeping himself second in the standings.
