Austria MotoGP: who reaches Q2 and who is left out

At the end of Friday running at the Austrian GP, the top ten picture is set: the best riders from the session go straight into Q2, skipping the extra Q1 hurdle. That is a key advantage at a circuit where overtaking is not easy and qualifying can shape the whole weekend.

The riders who struggled more are left outside and must chase a place through the opening qualifying segment. For them, the road to pole gets tougher, while for Ducati and the leading contenders the fight for the best starting spot is already underway.
