MotoGP Austria - Free Practice (1) Results. Aug-12-16.
Maverick Vinales leads the first official MotoGP track session in Austria since 1997.
The session was interrupted after Dani Pedrosa locked the front and fell from his Repsol Honda, his bike ending up on top of a tyre wall.
Stefan Bradl and Eugene Laverty also walked away from big falls.
Lap times were significantly slower than at the recent private test due to modifications at the final turn, revised Michelin rear tyres and very cold conditions (9 degrees air temperature) this morning.
