MotoGP Czech Republic - Race Results

Dani Pedrosa ends team-mate Marc Marquez's ten race unbeaten run by claiming Brno MotoGP victory over Jorge Lorenzo.

Unable to match Pedrosa and early leader Lorenzo, Marquez instead spent much of the race battling Valentino Rossi for third.

Rossi, riding with a finger injury from free practice, took the final podium place from Marquez with ten laps to go then pulled away from the Honda rider.

Marquez had never previously finished a MotoGP race off the podium, having fallen at Mugello 2013 and been black-flagged at Phillip Island last year.

Colin Edwards has 'retired' at Forward Racing and is replaced by Alex de Angelis.

Leon Camier was making his second MotoGP appearance, in place of the injured Nicky Hayden, with Ducati test rider Michele Pirro competing in his fifth race of the season.
