2026 Czech MotoGP, Brno - Race Results
Race results from the 2026 Czech MotoGP at Brno, round 9 of 22.
Marc Marquez is almost within striking distance of the world championship lead after beating Ai Ogura and Pecco Bagnaia to win the 2026 Czech MotoGP at Brno.
Reigning champion Marquez and factory Ducati team-mate Bagnaia passed pole qualifier Ogura in the early laps. Sprint winner Bagnaia then remained in charge until Marquez attacked with six laps to go.
Ogura, famed for his late race pace, demoted Bagnaia to third soon after.
However, Marquez kept just out of range of the Trackhouse Aprilia rider to take the maximum 25 points out of the absent Marco Bezzecchi’s championship lead.
Marquez, 102 points behind just a few races ago, is now 40 points from Bezzecchi, with 37 available at each grand prix weekend.
Martin can't capitalise on Bezzecchi ban
Marco Bezzecchi was banned for striking a marshal after Saturday’s Sprint accident, giving the Italian’s opponents an open goal in terms of closing on the Aprilia rider.
Bezzecchi’s team-mate Jorge Martin was the only rider close enough to have a mathematical chance of snatching the title lead, but could only salvage ninth after serving his long laps from Balaton Park.
Martin is now eight points from Bezzecchi.
Acosta DNF
KTM's Pedro Acosta retired from fifth due to another technical issue, this time on the final lap, handing the position to HRC's Joan Mir.
All riders used medium compound tyres front and rear except Mir, who gambled on the soft rear from the Sprint.
850cc Test
A handful of riders - including Marco Bezzecchi and Marc Marquez - are due to make their 850cc/Pirelli debut during a private test at Brno on Monday.
The Dutch MotoGP at Assen then starts on Friday morning.

Warm-up
Gresini’s Fermin Aldeguer leads warm-up for the 2026 Czech MotoGP at Brno ahead of fellow Ducati riders Marc Marquez and Fabio di Giannantonio.
Pole qualifier and Sprint runner-up Ai Ogura was sixth, with Saturday's winner Pecco Bagnaia in twelfth.
All riders chose medium rubber front and rear - the expected choice for the grand prix - except Enea Bastianini, Franco Morbidelli and Brad Binder, who chose the soft rear.
Marco Bezzecchi banned
MotoGP World Championship leader Marco Bezzecchi was absent from warm-up after being suspended from the grand prix for pushing and striking a marshal in the aftermath of his Sprint accident.
Team-mate and nearest title rival Jorge Martin, currently 15 points behind, has the chance to take the world championship lead this afternoon.
However, Martin - who has a double lap penalty to serve in today’s race for triggering a five-rider pile-up, involving Bezzecchi, at the start of the Hungarian grand prix - was just 17th this morning.
Although not close enough to take the title lead today, di Giannantonio (-36 points), Pedro Acosta (-48 points) and reigning champion Marquez (-65 points) will also be looking to capitalise on Bezzecchi's non-start.
Toprak Razgatlioglu has a three-place grid penalty for obstructing Enea Bastianini in qualifying and will start last on the grid.
