Francesco Bagnaia won the Austrian MotoGP Sprint after a penalty for Jorge Martin and a crash for Marc Marquez.
Bagnaia made a better start than Jorge Martin, and took the lead into turn one. A lunge from Martin at turn three saw him reclaim the lead from Bagnaia, but the Italian took it back again at turn one on lap two. Martin then ran wide at the turn 2a-2b chicane and rejoined from the cut-through in second place.
That was now played between Bagnaia and Marquez, and initially the Spanish rider appeared to be able to close in on Bagnaia. He was around 0.3 seconds faster on lap nine, but on lap 10 he crashed out at turn three. He remounted way down the order but just rode his bike back to the pits. Second place was secured by Martin, who pulled away from Espargaro when he rejoined in front of him. Espargaro took third after Marquez' crash, an unlikely result for the Aprilia rider after finishing FP1 bottom of the times following two crashes.
