The MotoGP championship series visited the Brno Circuit last weekend. Ducati took wins in both races, with Pecco Bagnaia taking Saturday’s Sprint and Marc Marquez victorious in Sunday’s GP.
Previously known for his poor qualifying efforts, Ai Ogura (Aprilia) took his first MotoGP pole position and broke the Brno lap record in the process. Ogura followed Bagnaia home in second place on Saturday, with Marc Marquez third. On Sunday, Ogura was again second at the flag, this time behind Marc Marquez, with Bagnaia third.
The weekend was not without high drama. Points leader Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia), who had been cleaned-out in the first corner of the previous race by his teammate, crashed during Saturday’s Sprint race, and, in apparent frustration, struck one of the marshalls who was assisting with Bezzecchi’s bike in the gravel trap. The FIM Stewards reviewed the incident and penalized Bezzecchi by ruling he could not start Sunday’s GP race.
Bezzecchi still leads the championship points battle, but, notably, reigning champ Marc Marquez has closed to within 40 points. The Championship continues next weekend at Assen.

Not a silly comment. Most people are right handed so they are more comfortable turning left, counter clockwise.

Something’s gone terribly wrong here. The circuit is clockwise. This result isn’t supposed to happen. And Frankie Baggs is competitive again, too!
