Ducati is the favourite for pole position in Spielberg, with the circuit's long straights playing to the strengths of the Desmosedici.
This was evident on Friday, with Pramac's Johann Zarco lapping seven tenths clear of the field in a dry FP1.
It would be interesting to see which Ducati team will have the upper hand this weekend, after Jorge Martin scored Pramac's first win last time out at the same venue.
