Starting from pit lane, just a few days after surgery for a broken scaphoid bone in his right wrist, Johann Zarco surely never believed he'd be fighting with world championship leader Fabio Quartararo at the end of the Styrian MotoGP.

At 300km/h, a MotoGP bike is moving at over 80 metres per second. One of the difficulties faced by Danilo Petrucci during qualifying for the Styrian MotoGP was that a braking point difference of 4-5 metres cost him 0.2s in just two corners.

"It was always the same; good qualifying, but bad races," said Maverick Vinales, who is now curious to see if a set-up 'gamble' pays off in Sunday's Styrian MotoGP. "We need a setting that is maybe not incredible for one lap, but good for the race, to give me the chance to fight.
