MotoGP provides another exciting race: Hard crash and spectacular final lap

The two races at the Red Bull Ring in Austria already provided the necessary excitement for Formula 1. Last weekend the MotoGP drove at the circuit in Spielberg, where there was a hard crash in turn three. This week there was more spectacle on the track, but that wasn't just crashing riders. The final lap was a spectacular one, with three different racers leading at one point during the lap. 

Hard crash by braking failure

A lot happened during the second MotoGP race at Spielberg. Also under the name of Styria Grand Prix, the race was held on Sunday. In the first race, it was Valentino Rossi who managed to avoid a crashing bike and this week it was Maverick Vinales who took off hard at 220kmph with a brake failure. Fortunately, the bike rider himself was smart enough to jump off his bike in time, as it ended up hard in the pile of tyres shortly afterwards.

Spectacular end: 3rd place takes victory

At the start of the last lap, there was a good fight between first and second place for victory. That fight continued until the last corner, with both drivers shooting just off the track. Miguel Oliveira was in third position and saw it all happen right in front of him. So in the end, he was able to take his first win in MotoGP with a great move.
