Defending champion Francesco Bagnaia has retaken the lead in the MotoGP title standings after winning both races at the Austrian Grand Prix.

The Italian, 27, went into the weekend three points behind Jorge Martin, but won the sprint race on Saturday at the Red Bull Ring to level the points.

Then on Sunday, Ducati rider Bagnaia had a fight for the lead with Pramac’s Martin, 26, in the early stages of the main race.

However, Bagnaia held off his rival to win, and now holds a five-point advantage in the championship standings.

Spaniard Martin was in pole position after breaking the lap record on Saturday, and shared his “frustration” at finishing second.

Bagnaia’s Ducati team-mate Enea Bastianini remains third in the standings after fourth and third place finishes in the sprint and main races respectively.

The Aragon Grand Prix in Spain is next in the calendar, and will take place on 1 September.
