Overview
- Ai Ogura took his first MotoGP pole with a new Brno qualifying record of 1:51.139 on Saturday morning.
- Francesco Bagnaia won the 10‑lap Saturday sprint, a session that also saw Marco Bezzecchi crash and then physically confront a marshal, prompting stewards to suspend Bezzecchi and for officials to reject Aprilia’s appeal.
- Marc Marquez passed Bagnaia late in the 21‑lap Grand Prix on Sunday to take the win while Ogura finished second and Bagnaia third, and several high‑profile riders including Fabio Quartararo and Pedro Acosta failed to finish.
- Marquez’s sprint P3 plus the Grand Prix victory cut the gap to championship leader Bezzecchi to roughly 40 points, leaving Bezzecchi to travel to the next round without any Brno points.
- Race officials ran tests on holeshot/ride‑height devices and extreme track heat shaped tyre choices and mechanical behaviour over the weekend, factors teams will carry into next weekend’s race at Assen.
