MotoGP at Spielberg
Hooray! Spectacle guaranteed at the Ring
Ten races, ten stories! MotoGP has been electrifying on and off the Murtal circuit since 2016. Here you can read a "Krone" ramble through the archive ...
Watch out, buckle up! When the MotoGP races down the Alpine rollercoaster, there's not a dry eye in the house. Since its return in 2016, there have been tears, triumphs and once almost a tragedy
2016: Return with a bang! With 220,000 fans, a record was set and the F1 attendance was eclipsed. Megastar Márquez crashed heavily. "But the shoulder popped back in on its own." The acclaimed winner was Andrea Iannone, who clinched Ducati's first MotoGP victory after five years without a win.
2017: What a battle - Dovizioso only won the wheel-to-wheel duel with Márquez in the final corner. Premiere: KTM celebrated its first top ten finish with Mika Kallio at its first home race.
2018: Ducati star Lorenzo against Honda monster Márquez - everyone else was an extra. In an epic duel, Lorenzo celebrated "one of my greatest triumphs" - and the last of his 47 in the premier class.
2019: Hammer duel between winner Dovizioso and Márquez, legend Rossi fourth! Marketer Dorna even extended the contract until 2025!
2020: Corona! But MotoGP shows the virus the exhaust pipe at the double race. Something historic happened in front of zero fans when KTM took its first home win with Miguel Oliveira. VR 46 shocked everyone, however, when a passing motorcycle missed Italian icon Valentino Rossi and Maverick Viñales by just a few centimeters after an absolute horror crash.
2021: The god steps down. "It's a sad moment for me," said Valentino Rossi, who achieved the first podium finish of his career in Spielberg in 1996. And officially declared it over at the end of the year in front of the world press in Styria. It was not only the Italians who wept.
2022: New chicane, old winner! After the accident two years earlier, the Ring between turns two and three takes on a new look. However, this does little to change the dominance of manufacturer Ducati. Pecco "Perfetto" Bagnaia took the seventh victory for the Reds in the ninth MotoGP race.
2023: The first sprint race in history turns into a crash orgy, with riders flying off as early as lap one. Bagnaia not only takes victory in the new format, but also dominates the competition in the Grand Prix. If you include the sprint, Pecco could be crowned the record holder this year!
