Overview
- The FIM Panel of Comisarios suspended Marco Bezzecchi for the Brno Grand Prix after an incident during Saturday’s Sprint in which he pushed and struck a track marshal while his crashed bike was being recovered.
- Aprilia lodged an immediate appeal of the suspension but the FIM rejected it, and the team may still seek further review at the international Court of Appeal (CAI).
- On track, Francesco Bagnaia won the Saturday Sprint, Ai Ogura had taken his first MotoGP pole with a new Brno lap record, and Marc Márquez finished third in the Sprint and closed the championship gap to Bezzecchi by seven points.
- Àlex Márquez, who had returned from surgery this weekend, withdrew from further racing at Brno after consulting team doctors, and Moto3 saw David Almansa take pole while Hakim Danish won the race despite a pre-race grid penalty.
- Bezzecchi’s exclusion removes the championship leader from one of the weekend’s two scoring races, which reshapes title math for rivals such as Jorge Martín, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Marc Márquez and raises questions about stewarding, rider conduct rules, and possible further sanctions.
