  • Valentino Rossi "Next year I will compete in cars"

The return to 'school' is here. The motorcycling world championship took its traditional break more than a month ago in the Netherlands and is back with the double at the

Red Bull Ring,

where there are many things that have changed, but many others that have not. The first and most evident is the dominance on the track of the Ducati, even with different outcomes, they were able to enjoy the first great joy of

Jorge Martín

on his debut. Nor does the situation of the championship change with

Fabio Quartararo

. The Frenchman continues his dynasty and gallops towards the title by eliminating his opponents. The atmosphere, in which the murmurs for the goodbye of

Valentino Rossi

, the state of the happy humerus of

Marc Márquez

or the return of

Dani Pedrosa

, they weren't enough to make the

Pramac Racing

rider nervous

, who was flawless from start to finish. [Narration and statistics].

On the grid, 23 drivers looking up at the Austrian sky, where the clouds have been the protagonists throughout the weekend. Some prayed for the water and others trembled with the flood that finally did not come. Many personal stories and many memories in the retina of the last visit to Austria, such as the jump of

Maverick Viñales'

motorcycle

on the finish line at more than 220 kilometers per hour or the fight between

Pol Espargaró

,

Jack Miller

and

Miguel Oliveira

until the last corner, a battle that could not be repeated with fans in the stands on the return to relative normality.

Among the things that have changed, the focus was on the sixteenth champion of Cervera, who had already been warning after qualifying of his poor physical condition, and to whom the infinite right curves, changes of pace and ups and downs have been choking.

Marc Márquez

, who had to continue on the straightest lines to avoid wear and tear on his arms, was too nervous throughout the race and sank to eighth.

The

Honda

could be seen past revs while the cameras focused on him, until he disappeared in the middle of the grid.

FROM RED FLAG TO RED FLAG

If Styria is used to being a headache for pilots, this first round did not disappoint either.

Dani Pedrosa's

adventure

was frustrated at the first change in a tremendous scare for the fans with the concern of seeing again a pilot fallen in the middle of the track. The Spaniard, who returned as a guest on his KTM, caused chaos in an incident that could have been terrible and that was left in an anecdote with

Lorenzo Salvadori

, who was unharmed. Even the red flag had seen the hungriest Márquez, even brushing up against the accident with

Aleix Espargaró

, whom he was about to send to the ground, sinful of momentum, and who had to leave in pain.

On the new reboot, everything returned to relative calm.

The Ducati were the Ducati and they could only accompany Mir's Suzuki and Quartararo's Yamaha.

Precisely the beast of

Jorge Martín

raised him in the first fight at the head of the race, where Miller and the world leader himself returned the overtaking time and time again, releasing Martín and Mir at the top.

The Madrilenian, who was looking for his first victory in the premier class world championship after the injury that led him to get off the bike at Assen, turned his frustration into energy and shot, shot and shot.

So far the history of the race, because nobody saw him up close again until he celebrated after the checkered flag.

Behind, shortly after

Jack Miller

got off the defense of the Ducati when he fell after going off the good line in a left-hand corner and left the race on a platter for the trio in front.

If the first half of the race had its crumb, the spotlights moved to the rear end of the competitors, where good traces of the show could be seen.

Nothing changed until the end, where Martín maintained dominance, followed by the excellent

Joan Mir

and

Quartararo

, who closed his first appearance in Austria with the satisfaction of, even not having been able to win, putting a lot of land in between with his rivals that were closely pursuing him.

The smile, other things being equal

At the beginning of the second half of

Márquez's

sports career

, another national pilot did smile on top of his machine.

It is none other than

Joan Mir

, who finally breathes relief with the improvements in his

Suzuki

with the arrival of the famous '

holeshot'

in the rear axle.

The device, which has arrived at the last minute, compresses the shock absorber and greatly improves the behavior of your motorcycle, something that has allowed it to be competitive again against the almighty

Ducati

.

The new batch of riders continues to wage war on a circuit where the dominance of the most powerful motorcycles was known.

Still, the reigning champion was able to counter the acceleration of his competitors with top speed and climbed to second on the podium.
