FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
ROUND 13 / AUGUST 9-11, 2019
RED BULL RING / SPIELBERG, AUSTRIA
P76
The Marc VDS rider led every
lap but one, when Tech 3's Hec-
tor Garzo got ahead, only to slip
off next time around. He tried to
lift the bike to continue, but the
hefty 570-pound weight meant
he was unable to get it up out of
the gravel.
Xavier Simeon (Avintia) was
second and Bradley Smith (One
Energy) third.
Di Meglio's second podium
means he leads with points: 41
to Smith at 36, Simeon 29, race-
one winner Niki Tuuli 26, De
Angelis 23. CN
