Speilberg, Aug 23: Miguel Oliveira scored his and Red Bull KTM Tech 3's first MotoGP victory with a double overtake on the last corner in a stunning finale at the Styrian Grand Prix on Sunday.
" title="MotoGP 2020: Pol on pole! Espargaro and KTM to start from the front for first timeA scary crash for Maverick Vinales led to the second successive electrifying race at the Red Bull Ring being red flagged with 12 laps remaining.
Pole-sitter Pol Espargaro, who collided with Oliveira after leading much of the Austrian Grand Prix last weekend, became embroiled in a last-lap battle with Jack Miller for the victory.
" title="MotoGP champion Marquez out for 'two to three months'However, Oliveira snuck through at the last to become the first Portuguese rider to win in the premier class, with Miller and Espargaro finishing second and third respectively.
Joan Mir shone in the first half of the race and got away well from pole at the restart after Vinales was forced to jump off his Monster Energy Yamaha bike at in excess of 220 kilometres per hour due to brake failure.
Mir soon started to struggle for grip and Miller, who was in hospital with a shoulder injury on Saturday following a crash in FP3, took control of things until Espargaro got past him with six laps to go.
They were both stunned at the death by Oliveira, as he became the third new winner of 2020 and topped the podium in the 900th premier class race
With reigning champion Marc Marquez ruled out for another two to three months, championship leader Fabio Quartararo finished 13th and saw his advantage at the summit cut to just three points.
Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso is his closest rival but was unable to replicate his win last weekend and took fifth behind Mir.
