Andrea Dovizioso celebrates win
Andrea Dovizioso won an eventful Austrian MotoGP for Ducati on Sunday just 24 hours after revealing he would leave the Italian team at the end of the season. Spain's Joan Mir on a Suzuki robbed Ducati of a one-two by clinching second spot from Australian Jack Miller with a single corner to spare. "That was really strange," said the world championship runner up in 2017, 2018 and 2019. "For a whole load of reasons," added 'Dovi', who avoided a string of crashes and narrow escapes notably for Yamaha's Franco Morbidelli and Frenchman Johann Zarco.
In a two way tangle on lap eight at the empty Speilberg circuit Yamaha's Morbidelli and Zarco hit the deck at high speed. Zarco's Ducati carried on without him, cut a corner and narrowly missed the veteran Valentino Rossi, who was clearly shaken by the close shave and who went on to take fifth.
