MotoGP 2025 Czech GP Sprint Recap
MotoGP 2025 Czech GP Sprint delivered intense on-track action and off-track intrigue at Brno, where Marc Marquez secured a strategic win over Pedro Acosta and Enea Bastianini. Despite tyre pressure issues for both Ducati riders, Marquez held on to snatch victory in the closing laps.
Early Battles and First Lap Drama
From pole, Francesco Bagnaia (Pecco) got the holeshot but was overtaken by teammate Marc Marquez at Turn 3. Chaos struck behind as Augusto Fernandez slid out and took Takaaki Nakagami with him on Lap 2.
Meanwhile, Acosta quickly climbed the order and muscled past Fabio Quartararo, while Marco Bezzecchi clashed with the Frenchman at Turn 10. All eyes were also on Jorge Martin, making a quiet comeback and sitting P7 early on.
Tyre Pressure Tactics Shake Up the Front
Drama peaked mid-race when Pecco, then Marc, appeared to deliberately slow down; both were under scrutiny for possible tyre pressure manipulation. This tactical move allowed Acosta to briefly take the lead, raising eyebrows in the paddock.
Meanwhile, Enea Bastianini moved into the mix, overtaking Quartararo and chasing the top trio as KTM showed serious pace in Czechia.
Marc Marquez Makes the Winning Move
With just a couple of laps to go, Bezzecchi surged to fourth while Raul Fernandez made it up to sixth. But at the front, Marc Marquez made the race-defining move between Turn 8 and Turn 9, reclaiming the lead from Acosta with clinical precision.
Despite post-race tyre pressure checks, Marquez’s win stood, extending his MotoGP 2025 championship lead.
