Marquez explains cause of disastrous start in Austria MotoGP race

A pre-race problem came back to bite Marquez at the start of the Spielberg race

Gresini MotoGP rider Marc Marquez has explained why he was unsuccessful in engaging the ride-height device at the start of the Austrian Grand Prix. The six-time MotoGP world champion was very slow to pull away from third on the grid in Sunday’s race at Spielberg, causing him to get immediately swallowed up by a number of riders on the dash to the opening corner.

Without the front device it was difficult to start well.” MotoGP is set to ban electronic aids from 2027 as part of its regulation overhaul, which will also see a move to 850cc engines.
