Good afternoon and welcome to the LIVE coverage of the Styrian GP, the fifth race of MotoGP 2020. On the Spielberg track (Austria), we are expecting to see a very close race with an uncertain result.

Last weekend on this track Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) won the race ahead of Joan Mir (Suzuki) and Jack Miller (Ducati). This weekend it is KTM to start ahead of everyone else thank the amazing performance of Pol Espargaro who gained the pole position yesterday. The Spaniard has incredible potential, and he has good chances to get on the podium today, but he will need to avoid falls or incidents. Mir and Miller will start from the second row and will be in the race for a victory. More complicated, instead, for Dovizioso, who after a bad qualifying session, will need to find an incredible comeback to win on this track again.

Even worse are the expectations for Valentino Rossi. The “Doctor” will start from the fourteenth position and will be forced again to a race in which he has to complete many overtakes to try to gain as many points as possible. Even more complicated considering that the Yamaha motorbike he is driving is not as performing on the straights and might lose a lot compared to his opponents.
