Fabio Quartararo will be determined to return to winning ways when he participates in the
Austrian Grand Prix.
The Yamaha rider endured a disheartening race in last season's Austrian Grand Prix as he finished seventh having started second on the grid.
Quartararo has been out of form lately having finished eighth in the most recent race in the season which was the British MotoGP on August 7.

The first French World Champion in the premier class' history has failed to score a podium spot in the last two races having been forced to retire at the Dutch MotoGP.
The British MotoGP was won by Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati with Aprilia rider Maverick Viñales and Jack Miller of Ducati finishing second and third respectively.
Quartararo is still pretty at the top of the 2022 riders' standings with Aleix Espargaro of Aprilia and Bagnaia placed second and third respectively on the table.
The Frenchman has seen his lead being reduced in the last few months and he will pull further away if he wins the Austrian MotoGP.

“I'm not happy about my race. I was just suffering so much," Quartararo said after the British MotoGP.
"I wasn't having fun. With that medium rear tyre we struggled so much. After the long-lap penalty I was behind four riders and the rear tyre overheated.
"There was no more performance, and the tyre drops much quicker. So, at that moment our race was gone. I was suffering. I was suffering from this lap to the end.”
Ducati are placed at the top of the Constructors' championship standings and they are followed by Yamaha and Aprilia respectively.
