Can the 2020 MotoGP season get any more dramatic? As well as delivering a result that has thrown the championship wide open, last week's Austrian GP also provided a heart-stopping, high speed crash that would likely be deemed too far-fetched for a Hollywood action film.
The riders return to the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria once again this weekend for the second of two races at the circuit, and you can watch all the action by following our guide below on how to get a live stream of the Styrian Grand Prix.
Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso took first place last Sunday, finishing ahead of Suzuki's Joan Mir who audaciously overtook Pramac Ducati's Jack Millar at the final corner to take second.
Championship leader Fabio Quartararo could only muster an eighth-place finish after battling brake issues and has had his overall championship lead now cut down to 11 points.
Dovizioso's win, meanwhile, has helped him into second in the overall standings, with Maverick Viñales pushed down to second.
The battle for the chequered flag was almost overshadowed however by Franco Morbidelli's Yamaha crashing into the Avintia Ducati of Johann Zarco, with their out of control bikes narrowly missing Valentino Rossi at turn three of the Red Bull Ring in one of the most dramatic MotoGP incidents in recent memory.
The near-disastrous flashpoint has drawn focus once again on rider safety and much criticism has been made of Zarco's role in the crash.
Thankfully no one was seriously hurt and the French star could still line up on the grid on the Sunday after undergoing wrist surgery having sustained an arm injury in the collison. Read on as we explain below how to get a MotoGP live stream for this week's Styrian Grand Prix.
