Overview
- Ogura produced a 1:51.139 in Q2 on Saturday to take his first MotoGP pole and lower the Brno lap record after already setting a new benchmark in Friday practice.
- Francesco Bagnaia won the ten‑lap Brno Sprint, holding off Ogura and Marc Marquez to secure his first victory of the season.
- Marco Bezzecchi crashed out from fifth late in the Sprint and left Brno with a reduced championship lead over team‑mate Jorge Martin.
- Jorge Martin will start Sunday’s race carrying a double long‑lap penalty for causing the Balaton Park pile‑up, and Alex Marquez withdrew after qualifying because of ongoing fitness concerns.
- High track temperatures and different rear‑tyre choices shaped the Sprint result, and the weekend’s repeated record laps and multiple crashes have raised fresh questions about speed, tyre wear and first‑corner safety.
