Overview

  • Marc Marquez swept the Brno weekend by winning both the Sprint and main races at the Czech GP, boosting his MotoGP championship lead.
  • Francesco Bagnaia overcame a 13th-place pre-qualifying finish to clinch pole with a new Brno lap record but faulted his team’s tyre strategy.
  • A false dashboard tyre-pressure warning forced Bagnaia to back off during the Sprint, dropping him to seventh place.
  • Race stewards cleared Marquez of tyre-pressure irregularities after investigating his Sprint win, upholding his victory.
  • Brno’s return after five years tested mixed wet-dry conditions under the split qualifying format, intensifying the strategic focus on tyre management.
