SPIELBERG, Austria: Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso won an action-packed Austrian Grand Prix which was halted for 20 minutes after Franco Morbidelli's Yamaha collided with the Avintia Ducati of Johann Zarco in Spielberg on Sunday .
Dovizioso, who said on Saturday that he would not be renewing his contract with Ducati, took the chequered flag after race leader Alex Rins of Suzuki crashed with 10 laps to go to keep the team's perfect record at the Red Bull Ring intact. "It was not that easy to start the 'second race' with perfect energy but I was able to manage the race because I had a few corners where I was able to be a bit faster. I was so strong in braking and could decide the pace.However, the manufacturer lost out on a one-two finish when Joan Mir capitalised on Jack Miller's mistake on the penultimate corner of the final lap as his Pramac Ducati went wide to give the Suzuki rider second place and his first podium in MotoGP.
"I just had to... push away at the start and see what I could do," Miller said."I'm happy to get the podium but I missed second, I made a slight error when Mir came up on the inside... But hats off to him."
