2025 Austrian MotoGP LIVE UPDATES

Live coverage of the 2025 Austrian MotoGP race from the Red Bull Ring.

The 13th round of the 2025 MotoGP World Championship takes place today at the Red Bull Ring, which hosts the 10th Austrian MotoGP since 2016.

Marc Marquez enters the race as the clear favourite for victory having won the last five grands prix in a row as well as yesterday's Sprint from fourth on the grid.

The Ducati Lenovo Team rider also carries a 123-point lead over Alex Marquez into today's race. Gresini Racing's Marquez will start second, but will have to serve a long lap penalty for his incident with Joan Mir in Brno in the opening laps of the race.

Francesco Bagnaia starts third on the grid and will be aiming for some kind of redemption after not finishing the Sprint due to problems with his rear tyre.

Pole position is taken by Marco Bezzecchi, the Italian claiming his first pole with Aprilia yesterday morning before finishing fourth.

Pedro Acosta completed the podium yesterday for KTM at the Austrian manufacturer's home race. The Spanish rider should be in the mix again today, and could stand to benefit from Alex Marquez's penalty.

Marc Marquez wins Austrian MotoGP

It's six in a row for Marquez with this Austrian GP win.

Aldeguer a stunning second, Bezzecchi solid enough in third place.

Acosta takes fourth ahead of Bastianini, Mir, Binder, Bagnaia, Fernandez, and Alex Marquez who completes the top-10.

13:43
Lap 27/28

0.9s now for Marquez with one to go. Aldeguer's pace has fallen off quite a bit, he's back in the 1:30s now.

13:42
Lap 26/28

Two to go now and Marquez continuing to keep Aldeguer at a safe enough distance. 0.8s between them over the line.

Bagnaia has been told to drop a place and he dropped it to Mir. Binder ran him off track the previous lap and he kept the position.

Now Binder makes the move the lap after. Awful race for Bagnaia.

13:40
Lap 25/28

Three to go and Aldeguer riding hard to try to catch Marquez.  He's 0.2s faster that time and  the gap is 0.7s. There's time for the Gresini rider.

13:38
Aldeguer P2

Block pass from Aldeguer but clean enough to pass Bezzecchi at turn three. He's 1.2s off the lead.

13:37
Lap 23/28

Aldeguer really charging now. He's all over Bezzecchi with 5 laps to go and only a second off the lead.

13:36
Lap 22/28

0.6s between Marquez and Bezzecchi. 0.6s back to Aldeguer from Bezzecchi now.

Bastianini up to fifth past Bagnaia who ran wide at turn four.

13:34
Di Giannantonio out

Di Giannantonio has retired with his Ducati on fire at turn four. He's unharmed.

13:33

Was a 2a/2b pass for Aldeguer on Acosta. Aldeguer 1s faster than Bezzecchi on lap 20.

13:32

While Bezzecchi and Marquez were battling, Aldeguer has passed Acosta and is only 2s behind Bezzecchi. P2 in this for the Spaniard.

13:31

Marquez back to the front at turn one on lap 20. He's made it stick this time.

13:31
Lead battle

Marquez leads at turn 4 on lap 19 as Bezzecchi runs deep into turn four, but Bezzecchi responds at turn six.

13:30
Lap 18/28

Acosta through on Bagnaia at turn nine that time, Acosta slid the rear which pushed Bagnaia wide. He's back to fifth now and way off the podium battle.

13:28
Lap 17/28

0.3s between the front two over the line that time. Attack coming from Marquez soon.

13:27
Lap 16/28

Still 0.6 between the front two.

Alex Marquez struggling to make progress, still down in 10th.

Acosta and Aldeguer closing in on Bagnaia now. They were half-a-second faster than the Italian that time.

13:26

Aldeguer ran wide on lap 15, too, at turn one, but he'd back on Acosta's rear wheel again.

13:25
Lap 15/28

Marquez coming back. 0.6s between the leaders over the line as we enter the second half of the race.

13:24
Martin out

Jorge Martin has crashed out. He's on his feet but with some assistance. He's stayed with the bike until it's stopped.

13:23
Lap 13/28

Bezzecchi had been under pressure from Marquez for a while, but he's now 0.9s clear at almost half distance.

Bagnaia third from Acosta who is really under pressure from Aldeguer now. You feel if Aldeguer can clear Acosta he has a real shot at Bagnaia for third.

Marc Marquez is sizing up Bezzecchi constantly but can't quite get close enough to make a move. 

But is it a matter of time?
