Red Bull Ring for MotoGP racing set a new chicane

MotoGP News

The Austrian Red Bull Ring race track has presented track changes in the 2nd bend area, which has been described by MotoGP as quite dangerous in recent years. The closest racetrack in Spielberg, Austria, returned to the MotoGP race calendar in the 2016 season and immediately drew some criticism at the expense of safety, as the protective fences were quite close to the track in some places and sandy zones in others. The organizers took the criticism into account and made the necessary changes, so the second bend of the track became the most problematic part. It is an extremely fast left turn, whose (in) safety was the center of attention in 2020, when Johann Zarco and Franco Morbidelli collided in it and triggered a terrible accident in which both of their motorcycles were at high speed.

Quartararo: In Austria, I was thinking of the MotoGP 2021 title

MotoGP News

Fabio Quartararo admitted after the race for the Austrian Grand Prix that he rode for the first time in the last laps of Sunday's MotoGP race with this year's world title in mind. The Frenchman fought for at least the podium until the 25th lap of the race in the leading group, but in heavy rain 3 laps before the end he drove into the pits with a few competitors, where he sat on a motorcycle with rain tires. Although he was left without a podium and finished the race in seventh place, he increased his lead to 47 points in the World Championship scoring, which is a very solid result, considering that the Red Bull Ring is theoretically the least suitable for Yamaha. “For the first time this year, I also thought of the title of world champion,” Quartararo admitted. "The conditions were tough and it would be risky to stay outside on dry track tires. I didn't want to fall, which would make me
