ÁLEX MÁRQUEZ BATTLES BACK TO FINISH TOP HONDA IN AUSTRIA

Álex Márquez staged another impressive Sunday fightback to claim a creditable points finish in the Austrian Grand Prix. The LCR Honda CASTROL rider battled his way through from last on the starting grid to eventually claim 14thposition at the Red Bull Ring, ending the 28-lap race as the leading Honda bike.

After a difficult qualifying day had left him at the back of the field, the Spaniard made the quick start he was looking for as he made up eight places around the first couple of corners. Álex then rode with patience and consistency to edge his way up into the points places, ending a tough weekend on a positive note.
