'I did everything I could.'
Good weekend for Binder
Bagnaia set off from pole for the gruelling 28 laps in front of a 94,000 crowd braving blistering heat in the Styrian mountains. He sped off the line on his trusty factory Ducati to hold off Binder to turn one as Maverick Vinales, who qualified in second, suffered another poor start as he had done 24 hours earlier in the sprint.
Binder went all out for a quick pass on Bagnaia as the front pair drew over a second clear of the chasing pack headed by Jack Miller on the other KTM.
