Well, barring Taka Nakagami winning at Motegi for Honda in a couple of weeks, MotoGP probably has its feel-good story for the season now! It feels like a welcome break from the championship points back-and-forth, which always gets a bit wearing by this time in an endless season. There will be plenty of reaction to this massive moment in these pages, so keep those windows open. But that's it from our live text: Richard Asher signing off from Burgenland, Austria.

It's hard to look past the Acosta show, but I can confirm that the rest of the top five did hold station until the end. Aldeguer has been given a penalty that dropped him to eighth, presumably for a transgression in his battle with Binder, which the TV broadcast mostly ignored. Binder comes home sixth and Bagnaia seventh.

Paul Trevathan, Acosta's crew chief, is clearly emotional as he gives a post-race interview to the world feed. No surprises there either. Acosta has been looking for this for the best part of three years since he arrived in the premier category. And KTM's last grand prix win was even longer ago: Indonesia 2022.

Pit Beirer and the rest of KTM's leadership are letting it all out! And why not -Acosta has put them through an emotional rollercoaster on their biggest weekend. The rider himself is indulging in a bit of a rollaround at Turn 2 - a nod to his ugly accident there yesterday. It's fair to say he has got even with this corner.

They asked if it was written in the stars for him to finally take his first grand prix win on KTM's home ground, just a few races before he leaves the factory that nurtured him. It sounded too good to be true. But true it has proved!

Acosta is doing what he promised - he is pushing stretching the gap rather than trying to manage it! He's 1.3s ahead halfway around the lap.

Bezzecchi gets close to Martin in Turn 1 again, but he's lunging a bit too hard because once again he lost touch a little on the way out. Ogura is looming behind the factory Aprilias, with the top four all in the same shot now.

Five laps to go for Acosta! The lead over Martin remains one second. These could be his toughest laps now. Any demons must be channeled into something positive...

Bezzecchi was within serious striking distance of his team-mate Martin at the start of the lap, but lost the initiative a little on the way around.

Marquez may have secured fifth but there is a four-second gap to Ogura in front of him. If he stays where he is on a clearly difficult day, he'll be able to be proud of the damage limitation if nothing else. He is, after all, still first of the Ducatis!

Acosta's lead ticks over the one-second mark. Martin is also coming under a little threat from Bezzecchi. Is the arm pump rearing its head for Jorge?

Another man to keep an eye on is Ogura. His injury layoff means it is easy to forget his old habit of finding sensational speed late in races. He's 2.7s off Acosta in the lead.

Aldeguer has relieved Binder of fifth - and Marc follows him through! Untidy moments for Marc, but he is hanging in there. Aldeguer, meanwhile is one to watch. He's charged a long way from 12th on the grid already - and he's known for his ability to make this special tyre carcass last the distance.

Pedro has edged ahead into a 0.8s lead over Martin. There are comparable gaps to Bezzecchi and then Ogura, with Binder versus Aldeguer and Marquez the first wheel to wheel battle as we hit half distance.

Acosta is held the gap up front to half a second. Given how quickly he worked his way into the lead, you have to assume that's management. But yesterday he said that trying to manage things led to his slip in concentration...

Marc is looking a bit rattled. Either that, or he has a technical problem. Becauzse Aldeguer has now relegated him to seventh.

So, here we go again. Acosta has breezed into the lead - now he just has to manage it. There is more time left in this race than the entire sprint distance yesterday. The total count is 28 laps.

Acosta is buzzing off at the front. He pulled out almost half a second on Martin over the course of less than a lap there. And here's a rare thing to report: a Marc Marquez mistake! He's run well wide, which allows Ogura back past as well as Binder.

Acosta takes the lead! A surprise move: not under braking but on the way out of Turn 1. That was a low-risk move that capitalised on the sector 1 dominance Acosta has shown all weekend. Behind that, Marquez has taken fourth from Ogura.

Acosta is within striking distance of Martin - and nearly slips past him through the treacherous Turn 4! He chose not to force the issue there.

It's looking bleak for Ducati. Marc Marquez is still in fifth and yet to show threatening pace. And Bagnaia is dropping back - both Binder and Aldeguer have passed him to relegate him to eighth.

The race is now vaguely settled, with Martin leading Acosta (fastest lap again on lap 4), Bezzecchi, Ogura, Marc M, Bagnaia, Brad Binder and Fermin Aldegeuer. Alex Marquez's pre-race pessimism looks justified : he's down in14th despite starting on the second row.

Acosta set fastest lap last time around. And yep...he's through on Bezzecchi at Turn 2A - the same corner where he fell yesterday. He has a half-second fap to close to Martin now.
