Last weekend was saw a sensational result allied with a painfully dull race. Want a recap? Here you go:
Without a doubt the Red Bull Ring is a classed by all the riders as a dangerous track. We’ve seen some horror moments here and when it rains the tracks gets slipperier and the solid concrete ‘safety’ walls get closer. The riders have all expressed their concerns…so what better way for Dorna to relieve those worries than by racing here twice!
That’s right folks – we’re back again at the most dangerous GP circuit on the calendar to see who else can get a free trip to A&E.
So what will happen this weekend? Probably very much the same as last weekend given nothing’s changed.
Well almost nothing. One rider who won’t be improving is Maverick Vinales. He’s been suspended for trying to break his engine so despite starting from the pitlane, riding around at the back, getting a long lap penalty and finally retiring he’ll still be less impressive this weekend.

So how did you do last time?
Your selected winner: Jack Miller (30%)
It was a nice tribute to his friend Cal Crutchlow when, after his unforced crash, Miller repeated his famous “I had podium pace until the fall” quote.
Podium maybe, but never really looked like winning.
Actual winner: Jorge Martin (1%)
Only two people had faith in Martin. Or they were random clicks. Either way we weren’t really expecting Jorge to pull off this stunner!
Special mention: I don’t trust Red Bull because of its connection to Hitler (10%)
The connection is a worry we agree.
