Episode 847: MotoGP Czechia – Brno Slaps

Jim is on vacation, so this week Rich is joined on the pod by co-host Danny Smith to chat through all of the news and goings on from Round 9 at Brno in Czechia. Going into the weekend the news was dominated by the signing at last of the new 5 year commercial agreement between the manufactures and the MotoGP Group. This opens the floodgates for the long delayed 2027 rider moves. On track, the action was a little subdued, with tyre management a feature across the weekend. Nevertheless, Moto3 and Moto2 served up maiden winners, whilst in MotoGP Marc Marquez made major inroads into the points lead of the Aprilia riders, with points leader Bezzecchi attracting a main race ban for an altercation with a marshal in the turn 3 gravel trap. You couldn’t make it up!
