MotoGP fans thoroughly enjoyed the standout fixture of the two-wheeler racing calendar in Austria, generating an amazing atmosphere around the Red Bull Ring throughout the race weekend. Here, we look back on the best moments and forward to the next festival of two-wheeled motorsport in September 2026.
50cc riders and MotoGP stars together on the Red Bull Ring
Before the world’s top riders stamped their authority on Austria’s GP circuit, hundreds of moped riders took over the Red Bull Ring. Fans turned up in creative and authentic outfits for the second edition of the “MopedGP von Österreich”, led out by MotoGP stars Alex Márquez, Jorge Martín, Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder, Enea Bastianini and Miguel Oliveira. It’s crystal clear from their reaction that the stars also had a great time!
Marc Márquez celebrates maiden Austrian victory
He’s done it at last! World championship dominator and Spanish superstar Marc Márquez riding a Ducati has now scored maximum points at the Red Bull Ring in Austria for the first time, not only winning the Saturday’s sprint, but also the Sunday’s Grand Prix. As an extra treat for fans, the Top Three lifted their trophies on a podium set up on the event stage amid a cheering crowd in the MotoGP Bike City.
FMX and stunt shows & supporting shows in the MotoGP Bike City
While the motorcycle elite were otherwise engaged, the ‘Red Bull Masters of Dirt FMX Shows’ and the ‘Red Bull Freestyle Stunt Show’ thrilled the fans with spectacular displays. The party atmosphere was amplified by live music, featuring bands and DJs such as Velvet Wasted from Graz and the DJ duo TWO KINX.
World Championship stars up close – selfies and autographs unlimited
For autograph and selfie hunters, the MotoGP weekend at the Red Bull Ring was a dream come true, with more opportunities for fans to meet their favourite riders and maybe even exchange a few words than at almost any other race track. On the programme were the Public Pit Lane Walk (Thursday), “Meet the Riders” (Thursday through to Saturday) and the “Hero Walk on the Styrian Green Carpet” (Saturday and Sunday).
Red Bull Legends Parade makes its debut
Giacomo Agostini, Casey Stoner, Andrea Dovizioso, Gustl Auinger, Tom Lüthi, Toni Mang, Loris Capirossi, Luca Cadalora, Simon Crafar and Dani Pedrosa are names that any true motorcycle fan instantly recognises. They all took to the track on historic racing machines during the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix race weekend, immersing fans in motorsport history. The sound of the engines was fantastic, and so was the atmosphere!
As one Austrian GP ends, planning for the next begins
Next year’s red-white-red festival of MotoGP is scheduled for the weekend of 18th ‑ 20th September. When the two-wheeler elite return to the Red Bull Ring next year, the programme will include not only first-class racing action and a fantastic selection of bonus entertainments, but also the grand finale of the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup season. Bargain alert: Tickets for the GRAND PRIX OF AUSTRIA 2026 are available at unchanged prices until the end of the year.
