Styria and Austrian MotoGPs to host Capacity crowds

Capacity crowds will be allowed at the Styria and Austrian MotoGPs, which will both be held at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, organisers said on Thursday.

In a statement, MotoGP promoter Dorna Sports said the two races "will welcome fans back to the grandstands" as long as they are "either vaccinated, tested or recovered from Covid-19".

The news comes as Austria prepares to lift coronavirus restrictions for sporting events this summer, allowing "full capacity" at the Red Bull Ring.

Dorna added that the paddock "will continue to operate as a separate Covid-19 safe bubble at both events".
