Ducati Corse: Marc Marquez claimed his fifth consecutive victory with a dominant performance at the Grand Prix of Czechia, becoming the first Ducati rider to achieve such a feat. Despite the final winning margin of 1.7 seconds, the race was far from easy in its early stages.
Francesco Bagnaia got the best start and took the holeshot, but Marc Marquez quickly responded. The pair swapped positions multiple times in the opening corners, with Marco Bezzecchi also inserting himself into the mix and eventually taking the lead. However, Bagnaia ran wide shortly after, allowing Bezzecchi and Marquez to pass, as per MotoGP.
Drama unfolded as Alex Marquez attempted a risky move on Joan Mir, resulting in a crash for both riders and an early end to their race. This incident dealt a significant blow to Alex Marquez’s title hopes.
