With Brad Binder's unexpected victory last time out, this weekend's Austrian MotoGP 2020 has become even more essential viewing for motorsports fans. Read on as we give you full details on how to get a live stream of the Grand Prix von Österreich with our guide below.
Binder's shock win during Sunday's Czech GP had plenty of significance beyond it being the South African rider's maiden MotoGP victory. The win was KTM's first team victory, while Binder's ride was the first winning motorcycle to feature a steel frame in over a decade, along with being the first winning bike for 47 years to be made outside of either Italy or Japan.
The MotoGP carnival now heads to iconic Red Bull Ring for a double header starting with the Grand Prix von Österreich on Sunday, followed seven days later by the BMW M Grand Prix von Styria on the same circuit.
Situated among the dramatic mountain ranges of the Styrian region, the 4,318 metre circuit is one of the most demanding on the tour thanks to its punishing seven right-hand corners.
Championship leader Fabio Quartararo will be looking to extend his early advantage at the top of the table, with the French rider looking to extend his 17-point lead over his Movistar Yamaha teammate Maverick Vinales.
