Spanish MotoGP rider Marc Márquez claimed victory at the Grand Prix of the Czech Republic in Brno, securing his second race win of the season. Starting from second on the grid, he overtook Japanese rider Ai Ogura — who had led from pole position — and teammate Francesco Bagnaia (Pecco) within the opening two rounds, before pulling clear to take an uncontested win. The result comes with added significance as championship leader Marco Bezzecchi was suspended from Sunday's main race after striking a marshal following Saturday's sprint, while second-placed Jorge Martín could manage only ninth, leaving Márquez well-positioned in the title fight.
