Austria MotoGP race day

15:57 That's it for our live coverage of the incredible Austrian Grand Prix, which proved that MotoGP always manages to be amazing, even when there isn't a thrilling title fight.

15:55 Dovizioso: "When I arrive there [last corner] I did not feel I can enter in that corner because I can't brake in the same place as Marc. But it was the last corner. I had to try, I wanted it. If I arrive too long, I can finish second easy. I feel so strong in that moment, it is something in the past I always think about but I did something crazy and sometimes it works. I am so happy for all the people working so hard for Ducati. For Luca."

15:53 Marquez: "Happy because today we did a big mistake with the rear tyre and immediately I saw when I go out, all soft tyres had better grip and even the consistency in the end. Anyway I try because I am Marc and I need to try. Happy because this second place, of course miss the last corner, but was sliding a lot the rear. Anyway Dovi did an incredible job, at the moment we are leading by 58 points so continue on the same way."

15:51 Quartararo: "Was an incredible race because we choose the soft tyre and was not easy for us because I still don't have the experience of adjusting to the tyre. I manage really well even when I was leading, I really try to not overheat the tyre and when Valentino was at 0.4s, I push and push until I have a two-second gap and then I say okay, now I stay between 1.7s and 2s and I make a good race. Was a tough decision to take the soft tyre and another podium."

15:46 Marquez may be beaten today but he is still yet to finish a race outside of the top two this year. His lead over Dovizioso in the championship is still a sizeable 58 points.

15:45 Something happened to Iannone, he was briefly seen running slowly in the end, and he finished a lap down.

15:42 What an incredible fight! Dovizioso continues Ducati's winning streak in Austria, Marquez still yet to win at the Red Bull Ring.

15:25 Dovizioso is looking quite racy, he had a look into T1 twice now, but he is not quite close enough.

15:24 Rookies Bagnaia and Oliveira are both set for the best results of 2019, the duo running seventh and eighth.

15:23 Crutchlow confirmed that it was Espargaro's KTM cutting out that caused his crash. He hit the back of Tito Rabat's Ducati at Turn 3 and fell. Unlucky for the Briton.

15:17 It's yet to be seen whether tyre wear will be crucial in the end, but it is worth noting that Marquez has a medium rear tyre while Dovizioso and Quartararo both have a soft one.

15:16 Dovizioso is not letting Marquez go, it's less than two tenths between them, but they are starting to shake off the Yamahas behind.

15:13 Dovizioso tried to fight back but ultimately didn't risk a desperate move.

15:12 Marquez meanwhile outmanoeuvres Dovizioso on the straight before Turn 3. A very tight move, but fair from both sides.

15:12 Miller falls at Turn 9!

15:11 For two laps in a row, Dovizioso and Marquez are separated by less than a tenth on the main straight but the Ducati man has stood his ground so far.

15:10 Marquez is back to putting pressure on Dovizioso while Quartararo, Miller and Rossi are still not far behind.

15:09 Marquez tries to quickly follow suit - into Turn 3, Quartararo holds his line but then the Honda easily outpaces the Yamaha.
