Austrian Grand Prix qualifying
BT Sport 2, 1.10pm Saturday

The MotoGP season continues to be fiercely contested, with the top five separated by just 31 points.

Marc Marquez has a 14-point advantage over the field following his victory in Brno last week but Andrea Dovizioso is favourite to grab pole position at the Red Bull Ring after impressing in practice.

Dovizioso, third in the table, was second in the morning session and topped the times in the afternoon on his Ducati and is bet365's 8-13 favourite for qualifying.

Marquez is 7-2 but another title contender, Maverick Vinales, could offer some each-way value at 8-1.

Vinales is second in the championship and was fourth in the morning and second in the afternoon practice. He tested a new fairing in Brno this week which helps his bike's acceleration, a crucial factor at the tight Red Bull Ring.

Recommendation
M Vinales fastest qualifier
1pt each-way 8-1 bet365
