MOTOGP FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 5 / AUGUST 21-23, 2020 RED BULL RING / SPIELBERG, AUSTRIA P78 (Right) After some harsh words between Miguel Oliveira and Pol Espargaro (right), it was all smiles on the podium in KTM's most successful MotoGP race win to date, after Espargao took pole position and raced to third, while Oliveira won. Jack Miller (obscured) continues to rack up the points and is now third in the championship after two straight podiums. (Below) In Moto2, Jorge Martin (88) rode almost the perfect race in Austria. The Spaniard controlled the pace until Marco Bezzecchi (72) closed to within striking distance on the final lap. Martin crossed the line first but the zero-tolerance rule for exceeding track limits on the last lap meant he had to drop a position at the flag, handing the win to Bezzecchi. Remy Gardner (87) came home third for a second career podium. In the series points, Luca Marini holds sway over Enea Bastianini and Martin, 87 to 79 each for Martin and Bastianini. Fourth sits Tetsuta Nagashima with 68 from Bezzecchi at 65.
