MotoGP championship leader Bezzecchi suspended for striking marshal after sprint crash

Sunday, 21 June 2026, 06:19 · 1 min read

Italian rider Marco Bezzecchi has been suspended from the Czech Republic Grand Prix (a MotoGP round held at the Brno-area Automotodrom Brno circuit) after pushing and striking a marshal twice following a crash in Saturday's sprint race. Stewards ruled that the Aprilia rider's conduct was "damaging to the interests of the sport," barring him from Sunday's main race. The incident is a significant blow to Bezzecchi's title campaign — he currently leads the riders' championship by 15 points over teammate Jorge Martín.
