Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia has strengthened his MotoGP world championship lead after dominating the Austrian Grand Prix to complete his third sprint/GP double of 2023.Once again he nailed his start from pole position – just as he did in the sprint - in Sunday’s full-length race at the Red Bull Ring to keep the fast-launching KTMs behind him into Turn 1.
But Bagnaia and Binder were already seven tenths up the road come the end of the opening tour, with Miller continuing to cede time as he began getting shuffled down the order.Binder kept the heat on Bagnaia over the first few laps, coming very close to a move up the inside of the Ducati rider at the Turn 9 right-hander on the fourth tour.
Come lap 11, Bagnaia had started to stretch his legs, opening gap to half a second and climbing that to eight tenths next time around.
