Television coverage of the ninth round of the season: live TV all weekend on Sky Sport MotoGP and streaming on Now. Qualifying and Sprint live also on TV8 on Saturday, the races of the three classes on Sunday will be broadcast free-to-air and deferred
After a week’s break, the time has come for another appointment for the protagonists of the world championship MotoGP and the other classes of MotoGP. We have in fact reached the ninth stage of this season, the Grand Prix of the Czech Republicscheduled from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 June 2026 on the circuit of Brno. It will be an important weekend for everyone in MotoGP, to immediately understand whether the values seen in the last race were a coincidence or could be repeated again. Certainly the accident at the start of Balaton he immediately eliminated several protagonists, but in the meantime in Hungary he returned to the top step of the podium Marc Marquez. The reigning world champion thus comes from his first victory in the race after an almost nine-month fast with his Ducati official. The Spaniard, winner in Brno in 2025, seems to have truly recovered from his injury and recovered 30 points in the last stage, now climbing fifth in the championship, -72 from the top. The gap is large, but if he were to rediscover the feeling of last season he could make a comeback. Good feelings recently also for his teammate Pecco Bagnaiawho finished on the third step of the podium in each of the last three races. In the world championship he is seventh -81 behind the leader, but at least he has more confidence on the bike than 12 months ago. However, at the top of the championship there is alwaysApriliawhich immediately intends to redeem itself from the Hungarian double zero, with the two official drivers first and second. In fact, he leads the ranking Marco Bezzecchiwho have won four out of eight races, 20 points ahead of Jorge Martinwho however will serve a double in the race in Brno long lap penalty for the Balaton accident. The Czech track, with more grip, could be of help to the Venetian bike and perhaps bring it back to the top as happened at Mugello. Also worth keeping an eye on are the two drivers of the Trackhouse team, Ai Ogura And Raul Fernandezsixth and eighth in the championship. In the Czech Republic there will certainly be no shortage of among the first Fabio Di Giannantonio And Pedro Acosta. The Italian of the Ducati VR46, also involved in the crash at the start in Balaton, is third in the world championship, -42 behind Bezzecchi. While, the Spanish of Ktmwho still lacks a victory in the race, is fourth at -48 after second place in Hungary. In the Czech Republic he will return to the track, after the bad crash in Barcelona, Alex Marquez on the Ducati Gresini. The injury of Johann Zarco it is instead longer, therefore on Honda Lcr will still be there Cal Crutchlow. Worth seeing on the Czech track is the Japanese house, as well as the other Japanese one Yamahawill be able to make some further progress. The current configuration of the permanent Brno circuit, a few kilometers from the city, was inaugurated in 1987 and it is one of the most famous tracks in the MotoGP calendar. The track, on which racing returned in 2025 after the break taken in 2020, measures 5,403 meters and with 14 curvesof which eight on the right and six on the left, follow it clockwise. With a rather wide road surface, it is a very technical track full of ups and downs, where it will be essential to have the right rhythm in the sequence of corners. Several chicanes and the straight sections are not very long, maximum 636 metres. There is certainly no shortage of points for overtaking here in Brno, a track much loved by drivers. As always, on the track with the MotoGP during the Czech weekend Moto2 that the Moto3.
