Overview

  • Marc Márquez won the Sunday main race at Brno after finishing third in the Sprint, marking his second straight Grand Prix victory and a rapid return to form.
  • Marco Bezzecchi crashed in the Brno Sprint, physically struck a track marshal, and was suspended by Race Direction so he did not start the Sunday race and scored zero points.
  • The Brno weekend reshuffled the standings with Bezzecchi on 180 points, Jorge Martín on 172, and Márquez rising to 140, which leaves Márquez 40 points behind the leader.
  • Márquez said he is not yet fully recovered from recent shoulder and hand operations but has managed race pace and tyre wear well enough to reel in rivals.
  • With 481 points still available this season and Assen next on the calendar, teams warn Aprilia that Márquez’s surge and Ducati’s form make the title contest open and likely to change again.
