Pedro Acosta is now a MotoGP Grand Prix winner. The KTM rider from Murcia won the Austrian Grand Prix today. Acosta had finished on the MotoGP podium 15 times without a single victory until today, holding the record for the most top-three finishes without a race win. However, that is no longer the case. Acosta took the lead from
Jorge Martin on Lap 9 and went on to secure a confident victory after
crashing out of the Sprint a day earlier.
Martin had to settle for second place today after coming under pressure from his teammate,
Marco Bezzecchi, during the final five laps. Still, it was a positive day for the Spanish rider, as he extended his lead over
Marc Marquez in the riders' standings. The defending world champion finished only fifth today.
In terms of the riders' standing, Martin now leads Marquez and Bezzecchi by 12 and 42 points, respectively.
