Team Gresini Racing MotoGP’s Marc and Alex Marquez will need to turn the page on what was an unfortunate performance for both riders in this year’s #AustrianGP sprint race. Alex was the first one to crash as he lost control of his Ducati machine at the first chicane, with a nearly identical tumble by his older brother a few laps later while he was running in second place. 
 
The rider #93 made it back to the pits shortly after, while Alex still managed to make it to the finish line in twentieth place. Both riders are eager to bounce back as a new opportunity awaits them in the full-distance, Sunday encounter in Spielberg. Marc will line up on the front row, while Alex will start the race from row four. 

20^th - ALEX MARQUEZ #73
“Not much to say to be honest. After crashing with a couple of corners in, it was all about making it to the finish line. The only good thing is that there’s a new opportunity tomorrow and that I’m not hurt. Unfortunately qualifying didn’t go as planned but we still have a chance for a solid performance.”
 
DNF - MARC MARQUEZ #93
“I don’t want to dwell into what happened because we’re in the middle of what has been a solid weekend, up to the turn three crash at least. It’s a shame because I was feeling good on the bike and I wasn’t at the limit. All in all, we’re still confident in our chances for tomorrow’s race, where we’ll try to avoid mistake while being as quick as we can.”
