Maximo Quiles left the Red Bull Ring with a broad smile. The Spanish rider won the Moto3 Austrian Grand Prix, his third consecutive victory, and now stands on the brink of the world title. The chance to seal the championship will come in Japan on October 18 if he can maintain his momentum.
The race at the Red Bull Ring was dramatic. David Almansa, Quiles' closest rival, dominated the early stages. He took the lead after a grid incident forced Bertelle to start from the pit lane, and capitalised on the chaos involving Uriarte. But disaster struck on lap eight: Almansa crashed at Turn 2B while controlling the race. It was the decisive moment that changed the championship landscape.
Quiles, riding for the CFMoto team, immediately took over the lead. He received a warning for exceeding track limits, but managed to maintain a steady rhythm and finished comfortably ahead of Uriarte and Carpe. This victory solidifies his position at the top of the standings and gives him a great chance to clinch the title at Motegi.
Meanwhile, the battle for fourth was thrilling. O'Shea had to settle for just off the podium after a tight duel with Pini, who impressed with a comeback from the back of the grid. This result shows that competition in Moto3 this season is not just about Quiles and Almansa, but also other young riders ready to steal the spotlight.
With this win, Quiles now has nine victories this season and is one step away from sealing the 2026 Moto3 world title. Almansa, who had to swallow a bitter pill, still has a mathematical chance, but the mistake in Austria could be a psychological blow ahead of the Japanese round. Moto3 always delivers surprises, and Spielberg proved just how quickly fortunes can change.
