SCOTT REDDING TWENTIETH
An excellent start from the fifth row characterised the early stages of the race in Austria for Aleix Espargaró, especially effective in braking with his Aprilia RS-GP, so much that he was stably in the top 10 for the first 16 laps. In the finale, the Spaniard suffered from deterioration of the rear tyre, losing positions until having to settle for a seventeenth place finish.
At the end of a complicated weekend, Scott Redding was unable to emerge in the race, finishing twentieth.
