MotoGP Austrian Grand Prix numbers

Top-10

Francesco Bagnaia scored the 25th victory of his career in the premier category in Austria. This success allows him to enter the top 10 of drivers who have won the most times in the discipline, tied with Kevin Schwantz.

Monopoly 

Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini completing the top-3, Ducati blocked all available podium positions for the 17th time in MotoGP. This feat puts Borgo Panigale on par with Honda. One more achievement would allow them to sit alone at the top.

In enemy lands

Pecco Bagnaia signed Ducati's ninth victory on the Red Bull Ring, in ten events. The Austrian site – home of KTM – therefore becomes the one which has hosted the most success for the Bologna firm, ahead of the Losail circuit (8 victories).

His best season?

The reigning world champion claimed his seventh Grand Prix victory since the start of the year. During his career, he never achieved more than seven victories in a MotoGP season. He therefore has nine opportunities left to extend this personal best.

Rule of 3

Before the Austrian Grand Prix, there were only three circuits on which Pecco Bagnaia had already competed three times. Last Sunday, the Red Bull Ring became the fourth to host three victories for No. 1, with Jerez (Spain), Mugello (Italy) and Assen (Netherlands). Note that each of these winning streaks was achieved consecutively, over the last three years.
