Austria: who reached Q2 and who was left out in MotoGP qualifying
At the Red Bull Ring, the first major exclusions take shape: some stars avoid Q1, others must chase a fast lap.
At the Austrian MotoGP round, the line-up for Q2 was set, with riders securing direct access to the phase that leads to pole position. The weekend pace-setters made it through, while several big names will have to come through Q1 to keep their chances alive.
For the Italian riders, the session brought mixed signals: those who nailed the lap early are in a strong spot, while anyone missing the top 10 now faces extra pressure. At Spielberg, every detail matters, especially on a track where acceleration and traction are decisive.
