Austrian MotoGP - Warm-up Results
Morbidelli quickest during a damp morning warm-up for the Austrian MotoGP.
Slick tyres were chosen by most at the start of warm-up, when the best lap times were set, but more rain meant all riders then switched over to wets. Marquez was quickest in full wet conditions.

The big question now is, what the weather will do for this afternoon's race? The forecasts say it should stay dry, but...
Ducati has won all three previous races at the Red Bull Ring since the circuit returned to the MotoGP calendar in 2016, and it is the only track on the current calendar where Marquez has not yet won.
Joan Mir has withdrawn from the event to continue his recovery from Monday's post-race fall at the Brno test. Jorge Lorenzo is again absent after fractures to his vertebrae at Assen and replaced by HRC test and wild-card rider Bradl.
