The MotoGP championship has become the Marc Marquez (Ducati) show. Marc set a record for Ducati at Brno this weekend by winning his 5th consecutive GP race on Sunday, after also winning Saturday’s Sprint race.
On Saturday, Marc was followed home by Pedro Acosta (KTM) in second and Enea Bastianini (KTM) in third.
In Sunday’s full-length race, the podium was filled out by Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) in second place and Acosta in third. Bezzecchi lead the first half of the race before being passed by Marquez, and he stayed close to Marquez through the checkered flag.
Of note, Brno was the first race back for Jorge Martin (Aprilia) after missing several months of riding due to very serious injuries. Martin was rusty, of course, but impressed by finishing 11th in Saturday’s Sprint race and 7th in Sunday’s full-length GP. His finish on Sunday saw him beat several excellent riders who have been healthy all season.
