On a charge: Garzo takes control as Austria beckons

Three wins in the last four races has seen the Dynavolt Intact GP MotoE™ star build a 25-point Championship lead, with the chasers now needing to respond

The FIM Enel MotoE™ World Championship is back in action at the Motorrad Grand Prix von Österreich as the final stretch of 2024 beckons, and after stellar rounds in Assen and Germany, Hector Garzo (Dynavolt Intact GP MotoE™) boasts a 25-point title race lead.

Three wins in the last four races – one at the Cathedral of Speed and a double at the Sachsenring – have seen Garzo soar to a commanding position in the Championship. Meanwhile, former leader Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) has picked up a DNF, a P8 and two P9s to see the Italian go from leader to chief chaser. The Red Bull Ring was a layout Casadei picked up 50 points from a possible 50 at in 2023, however, so that will give the Italian an injection of confidence.

Oscar Gutierrez (Axxis-MSI) remains in touch, but the Spaniard will be ruing his Sachsenring Race 1 DNF. 29 points splits the rookie from Garzo, with Kevin Zannoni (Openbank Aspar Team) now P4 in the overall standings after a Q2 crash hampered his weekend in Germany. Now back to full fitness, can the Italian claw back crucial points at the circuit he claimed two P3s at last season?

There could even be a slim but real chance for Garzo to take the crown in Race 2, so can his rivals hit back? Tune in this weekend to find out as MotoE™ takes on the fabulous Red Bull Ring, with qualifying, Race 1 and Race 2 live on motogp.com and free on YouTube!
