After the summer break, MotoGp returns to the track in Zeltweg.
In Austria, getting off on the right foot in the first free practice session is Maverick Viñales, the fastest after the morning session. The Spaniard of Suzuki, with a time of 1’25″866, precedes the two Ducatis of Andrea Dovizioso, second at 0″079 and Andrea Iannone, third at 0″211.
Behind the two Italians is the Yamaha of Valentino Rossi, fourth at 0″366. Only sixth time for the leader of the rainbow standings, Marc Marquez, arrived almost 5 tenths behind his compatriot.
The session was also red-flagged due to a crash, fortunately without consequences, by Dani Pedrosa at Turn 9 that forced suspension to repair the air fence damaged in the collision with the Spaniard’s Honda.
