Description

The Styrian motorcycle Grand Prix is a motorcycling event that was introduced during the 2020 and 2021 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For 2021, it replaced the initially scheduled Finnish motorcycle Grand Prix as the 10th round of the season.
The MotoGP World Championship returned to Austria in 2016 after a break of 18 years, with the country hosting a motorcycle Grand Prix event at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg - the last time being in 1997. Austria's first Grand Prix took place in 1971 at the Salzburgring circuit, which hosted Grand Prix racing on a total of 22 occasions, until 1994.

Rookie Jorge Martin clinched his first MotoGP victory in a dramatic Styrian Grand Prix that was stopped and restarted after a fiery early crash.
Spanish rider Martin, 23, started from pole and fended off world champion Joan Mir for the milestone win.
