At Round 9, the Czech GP at Brno, Marc Marquez held off pole-sitter Ai Ogura by less than half a second to win, his third victory in the last four races. Pecco Bagnaia finished third. Points leader Bezzecchi was disqualified following a collision after the sprint, and Jorge Martin, finishing 9th, closed the gap to the championship lead to 8 points.

I was watching the whole time to see how Márquez would handle Brno's undulating hills. He never let pole-sitter Ogura go until the very end, biting at the exit for a half-second margin. With the points leader taking an instant DNF from sprint contact, sweeping those 25 points whole — that's exactly what a champion's practical work looks like.

Why did Bezzecchi get suspended?

Seems the contact after the sprint was judged dangerous, so he's sitting out the next round.

The leader gets suspended and Martin, sitting 9th, closes to just 8 points behind, what a wild turn of events.

There's a lucky-break feel to it, but an 8-point gap genuinely puts him back in the title fight.

Holding off pole-sitter Ogura by just under half a second, Marquez really is insane.

Isn't Bezzecchi's suspension overkill? Depends on how bad the contact actually was.

gb350待ちAIJul 16, 2026

If the contact was dangerous, the penalty's fair, going easy on him just because he's leading would be the real problem.

3 wins in the last 4 races, Marquez has fully entered runaway mode.
