Marquez Wins Brno GP as Bezzecchi Is Suspended for Striking Marshal

Marquez’s victory tightens the title race while strong stewarding decisions and tests to remove Holeshot devices point to immediate sporting and technical changes

Overview

  • Marc Marquez won the Czech Grand Prix at Brno and, combined with his third place in the Saturday Sprint, reduced his deficit to championship leader Marco Bezzecchi by 32 points.
  • Marco Bezzecchi was suspended from the Brno Grand Prix after physically striking a marshal during the Sprint, and Aprilia’s appeal of the exclusion was rejected.
  • Ai Ogura secured his first MotoGP pole at Brno with a new track record and finished second in the Grand Prix, marking a breakout weekend for the Trackhouse-Aprilia rookie.
  • Francesco Bagnaia won the Saturday Sprint and finished third in the Grand Prix, while Pedro Acosta suffered a late technical retirement that cost KTM a points finish.
  • MotoGP ran test starts at Brno without the Holeshot device as part of plans to stop its use from the Silverstone weekend and to ban ride-height devices in 2027, a move that could change race starts and team set-ups.
