BSB: Results From Races 2 & 3 at Knockhill

Red-hot Redding puts the hammer down to celebrate victory at Knockhill. 

Scott Redding was back on top of the British Superbike Championship podium in race three at Knockhill, keeping his cool and coming out fighting in the final race of the weekend to celebrate his second win of the season ahead of a rebounding Bradley Ray after his race one disappointment.

In a hectic second race of the weekend, defending champion Kyle Ryde was victorious ahead of Ray and Redding. The Hager PBM Racing Team rider had hit the front of the pack on the opening lap, but Ryde was instantly on the attack and moved ahead.

The leading trio were in close contention, but the BMW Safety Car was deployed when Luke Hedger, Richard Kerr and Joe Talbot crashed out at the Hairpin on lap four with the stricken Whitecliffe CDH Racing Honda in the track.

When the race resumed, Ray was shadowing Ryde but couldn’t find the opportunity to make a move for the lead, securing a strong second place to overcome the disappointment of yesterday’s DNF, with Redding completing the podium line-up.

The battle for fourth again went down to the wire with a three-rider tussle won by Storm Stacey as he made a last lap move on Max Cook, with Leon Haslam taking the chequered flag in sixth place.

Josh Brookes claimed his best result of the season in seventh place for DAO Racing Honda ahead of teammate Lee Jackson and Danny Kent, with Ilya Mikhalchik claiming his first top ten finish in the Superbike class in tenth place for the ROKiT BMW Motorrad British Superbike Race team.

However, in race three Redding was even more determined to return to winning ways and at the start of the race, Ray had launched into the lead from Redding and Ryde with Vickers holding fourth place.

A lap later and the Hager PBM Racing Team rider attacked with a dive down the inside at the Hairpin.

The race was then red flagged on the third lap when Danny Kent suffered a technical problem on the Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha.

On the restart over 25 laps, Ray again got the jump on the chasing pack and again Redding, Ryde and Vickers were the leading quartet at the end of the opening lap.

Ray was holding strong at the front of the field until lap 14, when Redding made another bold move at the Hairpin to capture the lead, holding off the McAMS Yamaha rider and then firing in fast laps towards the end of the race to take the chequered flag first for the second time this season.

Ray delivered another determined second place, whilst Ryde had made a mistake on lap 17 at the Hairpin, running wide and giving Vickers the opportunity he needed to move ahead.

Ryde was fighting back though and regained the position three laps later at turn three, then was able to keep the Honda Racing UK rider at bay until the finish.

Rory Skinner was fifth on the lone Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha, getting the better of a beaten up Glenn Irwin after his race two crash earlier today, with Max Cook and Leon Haslam completing the top eight.

Josh Brookes delivered another strong top ten finish in ninth, just ahead of Christian Iddon on the Sencat Racing Yamaha.

“I want to dedicate this win to Paul Bird, for Frank and Jordan today and also to my dad, because earlier he said I didn’t wish him a Happy Father’s Day and I said ‘I wanted to win a race so I could tell you’, so I managed to do that, Happy Father’s Day!

“Now back to business. For the race, I was getting fed up with being in second or third and I was just trying to get my teeth into it. We’ve been working the bike, on the sighting laps, changing the bike on the grid and to be honest I just dug as deep as I could dig and the bike felt better than it’s felt all weekend in conditions that were worse for everyone else.

“For me it felt like every other race I’d been in this weekend, in fact it felt a little bit better for me so the tables kind of turned a bit where I was the hammer not the nail! When I passed Brad the first time, I was feeling real racy and though ‘I’m going to get stuck in and then the red flag came out and we did the restart and it sort of happened again but I didn’t feel as good.

“I managed to make that move on Brad again and I was digging my heels in to stop in the last corner! It got a bit loose out there, I’m not going to lie, every time I relaxed I was sideways. I was just happy to have that pace. I felt comfortable, that was probably the biggest thing I’m going to take away from this. I’m just happy to come away with a victory.”

Pro Motocross Championship Results at High Point, PA

MT. MORRIS, Pa. – The Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, made its East Coast debut for Round 21 of the 2026 Monster Energy SMX World Championship, with its storied Father’s Day tradition from famed High Point Raceway, the “Country Club of Motocross.” Picture perfect weather provided ideal conditions for the UFO Plast High Point National where Honda HRC Progressive’s Hunter Lawrence [#96] put forth an exceptional performance to capture his second 450SMX Class win of the season and tighten the championship battle. In the 250SMX Class, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cole Davies [#37] was dominant in a breakthrough effort that netted him the first outdoor win of his career.

 

 

Hunter Lawrence Ascends at High Point for Second  Pro Motocross Championship Victory of the Season. 

 

  • 450SMX Class

 

Qualifying

  • Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rookie Haiden Deegan [#38] topped the charts for the first time after the first session, but his time was ultimately surpassed by several riders in the final session. In the end, championship leader and Honda HRC Progressive rider Jett Lawrence [#1] led the way with a time of 1:59.977, which narrowly bettered the 2:00.126 by Hunter Lawrence and the 2:00.649 from Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado [#26]. Deegan’s first session lap [2:01.318] placed him fourth.

 

 

Moto 1 [30 Minutes + 2 Laps]

  • The first premier class moto of the day started with Hunter Lawrence edging out Prado for the holeshot, only for both riders to be surpassed by Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb [#2] as they scrapped for the lead. Lawrence regrouped quickly and reclaimed the top spot from Webb. Jett Lawrence was forced to work his way forward from an 11th-place start.
  • With the lead in hand Hunter Lawrence dropped the hammer to open up a three-second lead after just two laps as Webb and Prado continued their fight for second. Behind them, Jett Lawrence made a quick charge into the top five.
  • Soon a three-rider fight for second ensued between Webb, Prado, and Jett Lawrence. Prado was able to make the move for second, while Jett followed through into third. They faced a near 10-second deficit to Hunter Lawrence just under 10 minutes into the moto. One lap later, Jett passed Prado for second.
  • Hunter Lawrence continued to build on his lead through the rest of the way and cruised to his third moto win of the season by 11.6 seconds over Jett Lawrence, while Prado finished strong in third. Deegan followed in fourth, with Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Garrett Marchbanks [#36] rounding out the top five.

 

 

Moto 2 [30 Minutes + 2 Laps]

  • The final moto of the day saw the Lawrence brothers lead the field out of the first turn, with Hunter able to get a wheel ahead of Jett for the holeshot. They battled for the lead briefly before Hunter asserted his hold of the position. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Aaron Plessinger [#7] slotted into third.
  • As the Lawrences pulled away from the field and opened a near double-digit margin, Prado, who started fourth, was able to make the move on his teammate Plessinger for third. Deegan then looked to challenge Plessinger for fourth and successfully made the pass.
  • Halfway through the moto Hunter Lawrence had built a lead over Jett of more than seven seconds. Meanwhile, the battle for third heated up between Prado and Deegan. The fight was short lived as Deegan took advantage of an inside line to take the position with ease. He faced a 13-second deficit to the lead with just over 10 minutes to go.
  • While Hunter Lawrence continued to manage his healthy advantage, Jett was slowly losing ground to Deegan, who was riding his fastest laps of the moto inside the final 10 minutes. The rookie got the champ within sight and began to chip away at the gap. However, Lawrence responded and stabilized the advantage at just over three seconds as time ran out on the race clock.
  • For Hunter Lawrence it was another impressive effort as he completed the sweep of the motos by 4.9 seconds over Jett, with Deegan just a few seconds behind in third.

Overall

  • Hunter Lawrence’s second 1-1 effort of the season netted him his third career win. He and Jett now hold an equal share of victories through the first four races, with each of their respective wins coming via 1-1 sweeps.
  • Jett Lawrence settled for a runner-up finish (2-2) and failed to win for just the fifth time in the premier class. It’s his 29th podium in 31 career starts.
  • Deegan rounded out the top three (4-3) with the second podium result of his anticipated rookie campaign.
  • With the win and six-point gain on Jett, Hunter Lawrence closed to within two points of his younger brother in the 450SMX Class standings. Deegan tightened his grip on third, 38 points out of the lead.

Cole Davies Breaks Through for First 250SMX Class Win in Dominant Effort

 

  • 250SMX Class

 

Qualifying

  • The morning action was headlined by a pair of exceptional efforts from Davies, who paced each session and set the tone for the day. The New Zealander’s second session time of 2:04.283 was fastest and edged out Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Levi Kitchen [#47] by just under two tenths of a second [2:04.460].

 

 

Moto 1 [30 Minutes + 2 Laps]

  • The first moto of the afternoon got underway with the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing machine of Casey Cochran [#59] out front for his first holeshot of the season ahead of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Julien Beaumer [#13] and Davies, who then got shuffled back. The championship co-leaders from Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki, Levi Kitchen [#47] and Seth Hammaker [#10], started in fourth and seventh, respectively.
  • Cochran and Beaumer were able to put a gap over Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Caden Dudney [#82] and the rest of the field. In his attempt to close in on a spot in the top three, Kitchen went down and remounted in ninth.
  • A little more than 10 minutes into the moto Beaumer made the pass on Cochran for the lead and quickly moved out to a three-second advantage.
  • As the moto surpassed the halfway point Davies made the move on Cochran for second and faced a five-second deficit with a little more than 10 minutes to go. On the same lap, Beaumer crashed as he crossed the finish line, which gave the lead to Davies as Beaumer remounted in second, just ahead of Cochran.
  • Soon Davies and Beaumer pulled away as the battle for third heated up between Cochran and Honda HRC Progressive’s Jo Shimoda [#30] who had methodically worked his way forward from a ninth-place start. The defending SMX World Champion made a quick and assertive pass for third inside the final five minutes.
  • Davies held off a last-lap charge from Beaumer to take his second moto of the season by 3.3 seconds, while Shimoda followed in third. Cochran was fourth, with Hammaker fifth. Kitchen rebounded to finish sixth.

 

 

Moto 2 [30 Minutes + 2 Laps]

  • Under darkening skies, the second moto began with Davies out front for the holeshot with his Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rookie teammate Kayden Minear [#99] in second. They sat ahead of a tight pack of several riders with Hammaker third, Beaumer fourth, Cochran fifth, and Kitchen sixth. Shimoda started ninth.
  • As he gave chase to Minear for second Hammaker looped out and crashed hard, which ended his race. That moved Beaumer into third as Kitchen moved into fourth.
  • Riders continued to swap positions, with Honda HRC Progressive’s Chance Hymas [#29] surging up to fourth and Shimoda up to fifth as Kitchen lost several spots and dropped to seventh.
  • The intensity picked up as the moto entered the second half, with Shimoda mounting a charge to contend for a podium with a pass on Hymas for fourth. Further up the track, Beaumer closed in on Minear to establish a fight for second. After an extended battle, Beaumer made the move with just over six minutes to go. 
  • A couple laps later Shimoda caught Minear and another long battle ensued as the Australian rookie fended off everything his Japanese counterpart threw at him. Meanwhile, Kitchen clawed his way back into the top five.
  • Back up front, Davies put the finishing touch on a dominant afternoon with a wire-to-wire effort to complete the sweep of the motos by 3.6 seconds over Beaumer. Minear kept Shimoda at bay for third, as Kitchen rounded out the top five.

Overall

  • Davies’ breakthrough afternoon (1-1) saw him become the 95th different rider to capture a 250SMX Class victory in Pro Motocross and the first New Zealander since Ben Townley at the final race of the 2007 season to stand atop the podium.
  • The best performance of Beaumer’s career (2-2) resulted in his second podium of the season.
  • Shimoda followed up his win from last weekend with a gritty third-place finish (3-4).
  • Kitchen’s strong finish in the final moto left him just off the podium in fourth (6-5) but allowed him to gain sole possession of the points lead.
  • The top four finishers in the overall results are the same four riders who occupy the top four positions in the championship standings as Kitchen now leads Shimoda by a single point. Beaumer sits two points back in third, with Davies seven points behind in fourth.
  • With his DNF in Moto 2, Hammaker finished 13th overall (5-40) and dropped from a tie for first to fifth, 16 points out of the lead.

  • WMX

The 2026 Women’s Motocross Championship Powered by Synchrony reached its halfway point at High Point with its third round of action, contesting a pair of motos across Friday and Saturday. After a memorable opening moto on Friday saw SLR Honda rookie Mayla Herrick [#29] claim a birthday victory in her first professional gate drop, Saturday produced a wild race that unfortunately resulted in a DNF for Herrick and produced another battle between reigning champion and Altus Motorsports bLU cRU Yamaha rider Lachlan “Lala” Turner [#1] and Quad Lock Honda’s Charli Cannon [#7]. With the moto win seemingly in hand, Turner crashed while leading, which handed both the moto win and first U.S. victory to Cannon (5-1).

MotoGP: World Championship Race Results From Czech Republic

Marc Marquez won the MotoGP World Championship race Sunday afternoon at Automotodrom Brno, in Czech Republic. Riding his Lenovo Team Ducati Desmosedici GP26 on Michelin control tires, the Spaniard won the 21-lap race by 0.421 seconds.

Polesitter, Ai Ogura was the runner-up on his SuperFile Trackhouse Aprilia RS-GP26, and Marquez’s teammate, Francesco Bagnaia placed third.

Fabio Di Giannantonio crossed the finish line fourth on his Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team Ducati Desmosedici GP26. 

Joan Mir took fifth on his Honda HRC Castrol RC213V.

Marco Bezzecchi leads the championship with 180 points, 8 ahead of Jorge Martin who has 172 points. Fabio Di Giannantonio is third with 157 points.

More from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Masterful Marc Marquez beats Ogura and Bagnaia for mammoth Brno win. The reigning World Champion earns a monstrous victory by 0.4s over the Japanese star in Czechia to reduce the gap to Bezzecchi to just 40 points. 

Mammoth? Seismic? Colossal? Call it what you want. But that is one hell of a statement win. Having sat 102 points away after the Italian Grand Prix, the seven-time World Champion now lurks just 40 points back from the absent World Championship leader Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) after the #93 rolled out a masterclass at the Monster Energy Grand Prix of Czechia. Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) made the reigning World Champion work mighty hard for the 25 points, but in the end, neither could stop the #93 from clinching a victory that feels like it could be a real turning point in the 2026 title chase.

 

BAGNAIA BITES IN OPENING EXCHANGES

Ogura got the getaway he would have been dreaming of to grab the holeshot from Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and Marc Marquez, as the latter then launched an attack on the Italian into Turn 3. That unsettled Di Giannantonio on the exit, and through came Bagnaia too.

Then, through came Bagnaia again. This time on teammate Marc Marquez at Turn 7. An aggressive move on the World Champion, but a clean one. And immediately, Pecco began to crawl all over the rear Michelin rubber of Ogura. The Japanese rider defended well, but on Lap 2, Pecco struck to take the lead into Turn 10. A few corners later, at Turn 13, Marc Marquez followed his teammate through on the Trackhouse star to move into P2.

So at the start of Lap 4, it was Pecco leading Marquez by half a second after consecutive fastest laps of the Grand Prix. Ogura was a further 0.7s down on Marquez, with Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Di Giannantonio lurking in P4 and P5. Meanwhile, Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) was sitting in P8 behind Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) and Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol), having not yet taken his two Long Lap penalties.

On Lap 5, Martin did dive into the Long Lap loop for the first time, which dropped the 2024 World Champion to P10, and the second time around, the #89 slotted back into P13 behind Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3).

 

BAGNAIA, MARQUEZ, OGURA STRETCH THEIR LEGS

By Lap 10, Acosta had dropped to 2.1s behind Ogura, with Di Giannantonio desperately trying to get past the KTM star. Up front, Bagnaia still led – but Marquez was now as close as he’d been all Grand Prix to his teammate. Meanwhile, Ogura was staying well in touch at 0.8s back, and on Lap 11, the polesitter set his personal best lap.

Bagnaia responded though. The #63 set his personal best lap, a 1:53.510, but it was then a return volley from Ogura on the next time around. The #79 landed the fastest lap of the race with eight laps to go, and then it was the turn of Marquez to turn the screw.

 

 

 

MM93 BEGINS VICTORY PUSH

The #93 was now looking the most dangerous in the victory fight. And sure enough, the lead changed for the first time in a while at Turn 4, and now it was all about how Pecco and Ogura could respond.

Marquez immediately pulled 0.6s clear of Bagnaia, and the Italian now had Ogura climbing all over his rear wheel. The Japanese star needed to make a move rapido here if a debut win was possible, and that’s what he did. Five to go, Lap 10, a late lunge, job done.

Four laps to go. 0.8s splitting Marquez and Ogura.

Three laps to go, 0.7s splitting Marquez and Ogura. The latter was marginally quicker, but at this stage, not enough.

Two to go. 0.6s in it. This was tantalising in the chase to win the Czech GP, and a little further back, Pecco was coming under threat from Di Giannantonio after the Italian set the fastest lap of the Grand Prix.

LAST LAP. And it was a great lap from the champion. Marquez led Ogura by 0.8s, but Ogura chopped it down to 0.5s through split two. The Japanese rider was properly digging in here, but it wasn’t going to be enough. A masterclass from an all-time great. That’s what it took to beat Ogura today, and Marquez did just that to clinch a second win of the season, and one that blows this fascinating title race wide open.

Despite narrowly missing out on a debut MotoGP win by 0.4s, Ogura’s Brno weekend was his best yet in MotoGP, and one that sees the Japanese sophomore sit just six points away from Marquez in the overall standings. Bagnaia just fended off Di Giannantonio at the chequered flag by 0.169s as all three podium finishers take home a double rostrum from Brno.

 

THE BRNO POINT SCORERS

Di Giannantonio’s late race pace was stunning, signalled by the Italian setting the fastest lap on the final lap, but it wasn’t enough for a podium for the VR46 Racing star. Mir rounded out the top five for HRC to collect his first Sunday top 10 of the season, with Fermin Aldeguer (Bk8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) sixth in Czechia. Having been in hospital on Thursday with illness, a P7 on Sunday was a great effort from the #25, as Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol) beat Martin to the line by 0.136s in the chase for eighth.

P9 for Martin wasn’t the result he or Aprilia Racing would have been hoping for, despite the two Long Laps, in a weekend to forget for the factory Noale squad. Bastianini completed the top 10, with rookie Moreira crossing the line in P11. Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team), Toprak Razgatlioglu (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) and Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3) were the final points scorers in Brno.

Elsewhere, it was late heartbreak for Acosta, who suffered a race-ending issue in the closing stages to see his chances of topping up the points tally end. A Sunday to remove from the memory for the unlucky #37. 

 

COMING UP: A TRIP TO THE CATHEDRAL

Next, we head to another all-time classic venue. Assen. This enthralling MotoGP title race in 2026 is more alive than ever, with Bezzecchi and Aprilia needing a response to the looming threat of Ducati and Marc Marquez. 

See you there.

More, from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Ortola vs Alonso goes to the wire, Salač clinches home podium. A wonderful last corner move from the #4 sees him beat the Colombian in Brno as the home hero celebrates a P3. 

What a race. What a last-lap, last-corner pass. And with a Long Lap penalty to go with it. Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR – Exocom – MSI) is a Moto2 race winner for the first time after the #4 rolls out an unbelievable last-corner move on David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) to clinch victory in Brno, and in P3, the home hero – Filip Salač. The OnlyFans American Racing Team rider makes his dreams come true to stand on the Czech GP podium having finished just 0.7s away from the win.

From pole, Alonso held onto the P1 baton into Turn 1 as Ortola, who faced a Long Lap penalty from Row 2, got off to a flyer to propel himself into P2. Salač lost a few places on Lap 1; the Czech star was shuffled down to P6 behind the top two, Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team), Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2), and Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP).

World Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) climbed three places to P10 at the end of Lap 1 after his grid penalty. And a lap later, Gonzalez had squeezed past Collin Veijer (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team) to slot into P8.

Ortola dived into the Long Lap penalty loop on Lap 4, and such was the gap to Guevara in P3, Ortola came out in P2 still. Guevara was up the inside of his compatriot into Turn 8, but Ortola hung it around the outside and then had the inside line into Turn 9. Job done for Ortola, but the gap to race leader Alonso was now 1.4s.

Not for long though. Ortola set the fastest lap of the race, a 1:58.636, to cut the margin to Alonso back down to beneath the one-second barrier. And a little further behind, Gonzalez was now P6 behind fifth place Salač, with Guevara and Agius in P3 and P4.

A big move in the podium places came on Lap 11. Agius lunged up the inside of Guevara at Turn 7, but it was a move that sent both wide. That saw the door open for Salač, who swept through on the Australian and Spaniard to grab hold of P3, with the gap to Alonso and Ortola standing at around half a second.

Until it wasn’t. By Lap 13, Salač was right on the coattails of the top two, and with four laps to go, the blue touch paper was lit in the Moto2 Czech GP fight. Ortola made two moves, one at Turn 1, another at Turn 4, but Alonso bit back to hold onto the lead.

This was building up to a thrilling finale. Alonso vs Ortola vs Salač, with Agius 0.8s away in P4. Then, Salač suddenly lost crucial ground with two laps to go to drop him 0.8s from the top two, and just 0.5s away from Agius.

Last lap time. It looked like it was Alonso vs Ortola for the win, with Salač now in defensive mode to hold onto a dream home Grand Prix podium. No move came until the final couple of corners arrived. Alonso led, but Ortola set up a beauty. Turn 13 saw the #4 hang it around the outside to pounce up the inside of Turn 14, and it was a classy pass underneath the Colombian that saw the Spaniard earn his first Moto2 victory.

It’s Alonso’s first podium of the season, but having led for 99% of the race, that might sting a bit for the #80. Still, a great ride, and what definitely won’t sting will be Salač’s podium for the Czech star and the thousands of Czech fans in Brno. It’s not the win, but it’s back-to-back podiums for Salač – and a dream come true to stand on the famous Brno rostrum.

Agius’ P4 was a very solid afternoon’s work after the Aussie lost his right knee slider during the race, and the same – minus the knee slider part – can be said for Gonzalez’s comeback to P5. P13 to a top five, and beating your main title rival on the final lap, signals a job well done for the title race leader. That title rival is Guevara, who finished P6 at the flag after a good battle with Gonzalez.

Holgado faded to P7 to finish less than half a second ahead of eighth place Roberts, as Celestino Vietti (HDR SpeedRS Team) loses ground in the championship with a P9. Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) continued his points streak as the reigning Moto3 World Champion earned P10.

More from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Malaysian masterclass as Danish takes maiden Moto3 victory at Brno. An epic 16-lap fight resulted in the rookie timing it to perfection for Czech GP honours. 

A first win for Malaysia in a decade and a career-first for Hakim Danish (AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI) who overcame a 12-place grid penalty to hit the front on the last lap after a race-long battle. The #13 became the fourth new winner of the 2026 season, finishing ahead of Brian Uriarte (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Championship leader Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team).

It was a bright start from polesitter David Almansa (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) but he was beaten to the holeshot by Quiles. Straight away on the opening lap, a front group of four broke clear as Quiles, Almansa and Red Bull KTM Ajo duo Alvaro Carpe and Brian Uriarte duked it out. Further down, it was a cracking start from Danish who after receiving a 12-place grid penalty, started 14th and was P5 and with the leaders by Lap 2.

Four had become six with Danish right with the leaders and bringing Casey O’Gorman (SIC58 Squadra Corse) with him whilst less than a second back, Veda Pratama (Honda Team Asia) had also recovered from his 12-place grid penalty and was P7 from 20th and by Lap 5, had climbed into the top four having had a very quiet weekend. A seven-rider fight at the front, Moto3 was at its best. A change of the lead on Lap 6 as Almansa burst through at Turn 1 whilst seven became six when O’Gorman crashed out at Turn 9.

Almansa’s lead was short-lived when Uriarte dispatched of Quiles and the Grand Prix leader at Turns 5 and 7 respectively and the #22 was now being beaten up by the Championship leader and Carpe, managing to recover to P3 as the second half of the race began. The battle kept raging, Almansa working his way to P1 briefly before Quiles took over and then Carpe pounced on the #22 at Turn 4, running him out wide and fragmenting the group.

With four to go, the group was back together and there was a brief change of lead with Almansa getting back in the game and attacking Quiles but the Buriram winner was unable to make it stick. Two laps to go and it was still anyone’s to win; Quiles stood firm and was leading brilliantly but the chasing pack were eager to disrupt his flow. Disrupting flow was what Pratama did to Almansa at Turn 10 whilst Carpe made a mistake all on his own, allowing Quiles, Uriarte and Danish to break free at the front.

Last lap time and elbows were flying everywhere and there was contact at Turn 8 between Quiles and Uriarte and that paved the way for Danish to carve his way through. In the final sector, it was five abreast into the final corner but nobody was getting near the Malaysian rookie. From 14th on the grid, it was a masterclass from Danish to take his maiden victory in Moto3 and Malaysia’s first since Khairul Idham Pawi at the Sachsenring in 2016. In the all-out fight for second, Uriarte came out on top ahead of Quiles with Almansa fourth despite being in P2 on the run up to the final two corners. Pratama was fifth at the flag whilst Carpe lost valuable ground to Quiles in the title race to finish sixth.

Noteworthy performances included a good comeback from 17th on the grid to P7 for Marco Morelli (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) and Joel Kelso (GRYD Racing) a best result of 2026 in eighth. Scott Ogden (CIP GreenPower) took his second top ten of the season in ninth ahead of Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) who came home tenth.

BSB: Race 1 Results From Knockhill

Ryde victorious as heartbreak for Ray with race one retirement. 

Kyle Ryde was victorious in the opening British Superbike Championship race at Knockhill as Bradley Ray was cruelly denied the chance to challenge for the win over the final four laps.

Ray had been pushing his Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing rival throughout the race as the pair exchanged fastest laps at the front of the field. The McAMS Yamaha rider in striking distance of the reigning champion, but there was heartbreak for Ray as his charge was curtailed when he was forced to retire with a technical problem.

At the start, Ryde and Ray had instantly hit the leading two positions with Scott Redding holding third for the Hager PBM Racing Team and Storm Stacey also in close contention.

Redding held third until he was elevated into second position after Ray’s retirement in the closing stages, but behind both Ryan Vickers and Glenn Irwin had fought their way ahead of Stacey and Rory Skinner to be in the battle for the final podium position over the final laps.

Vickers was holding off Glenn Irwin with the Honda Racing UK rider delivering his best result of the season so far, but a year to the day after his season-shattering crash at Snetterton, the Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing rider wasn’t going to settle for fourth.

The battle between the pair went right down to the finish with Glenn Irwin able to fend off the attack from the Honda Racing UK rider over the final three laps to mark an emotional return to the podium.

Skinner held on to fifth place to claim his best result of the season for the Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha, pushing ahead of Stacey and Christian Iddon. Leon Haslam fought back after a challenging start to the weekend to finish in eighth with the DAO Racing Honda pairing of Josh Brookes and Lee Jackson completing the top ten.

 

 

image Kyle Ryde – Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing:

“I was running low on energy at the end, but I rode the bike really good for the first 20 laps. I made one little mistake and Brad caught me and then I was honestly thinking at that point that he was going to pass me into turn three or the last corner, as I wasn’t very good on the brakes there.

“Unfortunately, Brad had a DNF because I think he would have definitely had something at the end to fight with me. I think Brad will be revved up even more for tomorrow, so will definitely be a tough person to beat and we can look forward to the two races.”

FIM MotoGP Stewards Suspend Bezzecchi From The Czech GP

Emotions boiled over on Saturday following his crash out the Sprint, leaving the #72 on the sidelines for Sunday. 

Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) will not take part in the Czech GP Grand Prix race. Following his crash out of the Tissot Sprint in Brno, the Italian was involved in an altercation with a marshal and was called to see the FIM MotoGP Stewards.

The FIM MotoGP Stewards document, which explains that they have suspended Bezzecchi from the Czech GP, says that “following a crash you pushed and struck circuit Marshals who were trying to recover your machine.”

That is an infringement of Article 3.3.2.2, an action “prejudicial to the interests of the sport”.

After hearings with Bezzecchi to listen to his case, the FIM MotoGP Stewards have confirmed their penalty is the suspension from the Czech GP. That means the #72 will not race on Sunday.

Aprilia have the right to appeal within one hour of the publication of the penalty.

More From The NEMRR Loudon Classic: Ty Scott Wins Again!

Tyler Scott Wins The Loudon Classic For The Third Time!

M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott won the Loudon Classic on a Suzuki GSX-R750 for the third time, earning  another $40,000 on top of the combined $150,000 he won in the 2025, 2024, and 2023 Classics, winning twice and finishing second once. The race was red-flagged early on and restarted, and was shortened from a planned 25 laps to 20 laps, paying Scott $2,000 per completed lap. The winner’s $40,000 purse was reduced from the $60,000 Scott won last year, with the money redistributed to other classes run as part of the weekend.

Scott raced his personal practice bike because his M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team racebike was already prepped for the MotoAmerica National the following weekend, and he made things harder for himself by crashing that practice bike during a shakedown run a few days before the Loudon Classic. “What a great weekend ending up back on top of the box for the 103rd Loudon Classic. It was a more stressful weekend from years past with the conditions and lack of resources due to a testing crash a few days before, and I can’t thank everyone involved enough–especially my dad and Davey Loikits for working hard to get the bike fixed on such short notice.  The weekend started out rough but when the rain started the sun shone on our program,” said Scott afterwards. “It was good and we were able to win for the second year in a row.”

Brandon Paasch races an M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbike in MotoAmerica events, but finished second in the Classic on a borrowed, third-hand Suzuki GSX-R750 that needed a lot of work to be race worthy, and earned $25,000. “Picked up this 750 on Monday in absolute shambles and earned every bit of my paycheck this week. From last week thinking I wasn’t racing, to spending an entire week of grinding to even make the grid, to finishing 2nd in the 103rd Loudon Classic by 0.3 of a second. We’ll take it,” Paasch said. “Massive thank you to everyone who was able to help make this happen: Mike Skowronek at Triple Strong Racing for spending an entire day going over this thing with me so I had something safe to race, Dunlop for the tires, Phillip Bailey and Harley Brumgard for coming out last minute to help keep the bike and me on track, Reese Briody for the last-minute number plates, Shiloh Salopek for un-f**king my electronics, Tino Pietri for a can of 93 octane pump gas for practice and everyone else who played a part in making it happen. We made out good in the results, made some money, and got out of there safe.” 

Eli Block was third after leading when the track was wettest and made $12,500 on an Aprilia 660 in the race, which started wet, dried out a bit, then finished in mixed conditions.

Joseph Lemandri Jr. was fourth on a Yamaha YZF-R9 followed by Eric Wood and Ben Gloddy on YZF-R6 Yamahas. Dominic Doyle was eighth on a Liberty Yamaha Racing YZF-R9 ahead of Adam Guyer and Asher Rubright.

Of the 40 riders entered, 25 started the race in wet conditions.

Note: Contrary to what we reported in error earlier, Block (who has moved to Florida) did not qualify for a local rider bonus of $5,000 in addition to the regular purse money. The bonus money went to the following riders:

More from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Bagnaia holds off Ogura and Marquez for sublime Sprint gold. The #63 puts in an imperious Sprint with a close finish at the front as Bezzecchi slides out on Saturday. 

Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) took his first Tissot Sprint win of the season in style at Brno, off the line like a rocket and holding off some serious pressure from behind to the line. From pole position, Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) was forced to settle for second by just two tenths at the flag, with Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) completing the Saturday rostrum.

 

 

 

Off the line it was a pure drag race as Bagnaia got the best start on the front row, from P3, and Ogura the worst from pole position, leaving the #63 in the lead and the #79 forced the settle into second. They held position ahead of some shuffling behind, with Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) picked off by Marc Marquez ahead of some early drama. Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) slid out on Lap 1 followed swiftly by Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3) in separate incidents, leaving a little gap where each had been. Riders ok.

 

 

 

At the front, Bagnaia was setting the pace with around half a second in hand ahead of Ogura, but the gap behind them was starting to stretch further. Marquez was holding on ahead of Diggia, however, with Championship leader Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) next up. Behind him, Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) was homing in on Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing).

Fireworks soon set off there by mid-distance as the two swapped positions not once nor twice, with Acosta eventually getting the deal done but not losing the close company from the #89. He held on for another couple of laps before his Sprint came to an early end, the #37 sliding out at Turn 11. Rider ok and ready to reload for Sunday.

Meanwhile at the front, what had been a growing gap between Bagnaia and Ogura was shrinking by four to go – and the Japanese rider was bringing company in the form of Marc Marquez as he started to eat up the metres. The trio looked on to decide the podium between themselves, with Di Giannantonio not quite able to bring himself back into contention from fourth.

 

 

 

Suddenly, more drama hit – this time for Bezzecchi. From a solid fifth, the championship leader suddenly slid out at Turn 3, losing the valuable points and promoting teammate Martin, just behind him, to the top five.

There were no such dramas for the race leaders. Onto the last lap, Bagnaia led Ogura led Marquez, with little to choose between them as the concertina made its way around Brno. As the metres ticked down though it was Ogura making the gains, with Marquez watching a duel for the win slowly pull away. But Ogura was forced to endure the same as Bagnaia kept it tidy as ever, giving no opportunity for the Japanese rider to create a move. The #63 crossed the line with just over two tenths in hand, supreme on Saturday.

 

 

 

 

 

Ogura takes second on a weekend that has seen him go fastest on Friday and take his maiden pole, and he’ll be aiming for more on Sunday. Marc Marquez takes third place ahead of Di Giannantonio, with Martin completing the top five on Saturday before he serves his double Long Lap on Sunday.

Raul Fernandez (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) came home sixth ahead of a charge up the order from Red Bull KTM Tech3’s Enea Bastianini into P7, with Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) and Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) completing the points scorers – denying Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) the opportunity by just a tenth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s a wrap on Saturday action, with more to come on Grand Prix Sunday. Don’t miss it as the field reload at the Monster Energy Grand Prix of Czechia!

Red-hot Redding puts the hammer down to celebrate victory at Knockhill. 

Scott Redding was back on top of the British Superbike Championship podium in race three at Knockhill, keeping his cool and coming out fighting in the final race of the weekend to celebrate his second win of the season ahead of a rebounding Bradley Ray after his race one disappointment.

In a hectic second race of the weekend, defending champion Kyle Ryde was victorious ahead of Ray and Redding. The Hager PBM Racing Team rider had hit the front of the pack on the opening lap, but Ryde was instantly on the attack and moved ahead.

The leading trio were in close contention, but the BMW Safety Car was deployed when Luke Hedger, Richard Kerr and Joe Talbot crashed out at the Hairpin on lap four with the stricken Whitecliffe CDH Racing Honda in the track.

When the race resumed, Ray was shadowing Ryde but couldn’t find the opportunity to make a move for the lead, securing a strong second place to overcome the disappointment of yesterday’s DNF, with Redding completing the podium line-up.

The battle for fourth again went down to the wire with a three-rider tussle won by Storm Stacey as he made a last lap move on Max Cook, with Leon Haslam taking the chequered flag in sixth place.

Josh Brookes claimed his best result of the season in seventh place for DAO Racing Honda ahead of teammate Lee Jackson and Danny Kent, with Ilya Mikhalchik claiming his first top ten finish in the Superbike class in tenth place for the ROKiT BMW Motorrad British Superbike Race team.

However, in race three Redding was even more determined to return to winning ways and at the start of the race, Ray had launched into the lead from Redding and Ryde with Vickers holding fourth place.

A lap later and the Hager PBM Racing Team rider attacked with a dive down the inside at the Hairpin.

The race was then red flagged on the third lap when Danny Kent suffered a technical problem on the Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha.

On the restart over 25 laps, Ray again got the jump on the chasing pack and again Redding, Ryde and Vickers were the leading quartet at the end of the opening lap.

Ray was holding strong at the front of the field until lap 14, when Redding made another bold move at the Hairpin to capture the lead, holding off the McAMS Yamaha rider and then firing in fast laps towards the end of the race to take the chequered flag first for the second time this season.

Ray delivered another determined second place, whilst Ryde had made a mistake on lap 17 at the Hairpin, running wide and giving Vickers the opportunity he needed to move ahead.

Ryde was fighting back though and regained the position three laps later at turn three, then was able to keep the Honda Racing UK rider at bay until the finish.

Rory Skinner was fifth on the lone Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha, getting the better of a beaten up Glenn Irwin after his race two crash earlier today, with Max Cook and Leon Haslam completing the top eight.

Josh Brookes delivered another strong top ten finish in ninth, just ahead of Christian Iddon on the Sencat Racing Yamaha.

“I want to dedicate this win to Paul Bird, for Frank and Jordan today and also to my dad, because earlier he said I didn’t wish him a Happy Father’s Day and I said ‘I wanted to win a race so I could tell you’, so I managed to do that, Happy Father’s Day!

“Now back to business. For the race, I was getting fed up with being in second or third and I was just trying to get my teeth into it. We’ve been working the bike, on the sighting laps, changing the bike on the grid and to be honest I just dug as deep as I could dig and the bike felt better than it’s felt all weekend in conditions that were worse for everyone else.

“For me it felt like every other race I’d been in this weekend, in fact it felt a little bit better for me so the tables kind of turned a bit where I was the hammer not the nail! When I passed Brad the first time, I was feeling real racy and though ‘I’m going to get stuck in and then the red flag came out and we did the restart and it sort of happened again but I didn’t feel as good.

“I managed to make that move on Brad again and I was digging my heels in to stop in the last corner! It got a bit loose out there, I’m not going to lie, every time I relaxed I was sideways. I was just happy to have that pace. I felt comfortable, that was probably the biggest thing I’m going to take away from this. I’m just happy to come away with a victory.”

MT. MORRIS, Pa. – The Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, made its East Coast debut for Round 21 of the 2026 Monster Energy SMX World Championship, with its storied Father’s Day tradition from famed High Point Raceway, the “Country Club of Motocross.” Picture perfect weather provided ideal conditions for the UFO Plast High Point National where Honda HRC Progressive’s Hunter Lawrence [#96] put forth an exceptional performance to capture his second 450SMX Class win of the season and tighten the championship battle. In the 250SMX Class, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cole Davies [#37] was dominant in a breakthrough effort that netted him the first outdoor win of his career.

 

 

Hunter Lawrence Ascends at High Point for Second  Pro Motocross Championship Victory of the Season. 

 

  • 450SMX Class

 

Qualifying

  • Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rookie Haiden Deegan [#38] topped the charts for the first time after the first session, but his time was ultimately surpassed by several riders in the final session. In the end, championship leader and Honda HRC Progressive rider Jett Lawrence [#1] led the way with a time of 1:59.977, which narrowly bettered the 2:00.126 by Hunter Lawrence and the 2:00.649 from Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado [#26]. Deegan’s first session lap [2:01.318] placed him fourth.

 

 

Moto 1 [30 Minutes + 2 Laps]

  • The first premier class moto of the day started with Hunter Lawrence edging out Prado for the holeshot, only for both riders to be surpassed by Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb [#2] as they scrapped for the lead. Lawrence regrouped quickly and reclaimed the top spot from Webb. Jett Lawrence was forced to work his way forward from an 11th-place start.
  • With the lead in hand Hunter Lawrence dropped the hammer to open up a three-second lead after just two laps as Webb and Prado continued their fight for second. Behind them, Jett Lawrence made a quick charge into the top five.
  • Soon a three-rider fight for second ensued between Webb, Prado, and Jett Lawrence. Prado was able to make the move for second, while Jett followed through into third. They faced a near 10-second deficit to Hunter Lawrence just under 10 minutes into the moto. One lap later, Jett passed Prado for second.
  • Hunter Lawrence continued to build on his lead through the rest of the way and cruised to his third moto win of the season by 11.6 seconds over Jett Lawrence, while Prado finished strong in third. Deegan followed in fourth, with Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Garrett Marchbanks [#36] rounding out the top five.

 

 

Moto 2 [30 Minutes + 2 Laps]

  • The final moto of the day saw the Lawrence brothers lead the field out of the first turn, with Hunter able to get a wheel ahead of Jett for the holeshot. They battled for the lead briefly before Hunter asserted his hold of the position. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Aaron Plessinger [#7] slotted into third.
  • As the Lawrences pulled away from the field and opened a near double-digit margin, Prado, who started fourth, was able to make the move on his teammate Plessinger for third. Deegan then looked to challenge Plessinger for fourth and successfully made the pass.
  • Halfway through the moto Hunter Lawrence had built a lead over Jett of more than seven seconds. Meanwhile, the battle for third heated up between Prado and Deegan. The fight was short lived as Deegan took advantage of an inside line to take the position with ease. He faced a 13-second deficit to the lead with just over 10 minutes to go.
  • While Hunter Lawrence continued to manage his healthy advantage, Jett was slowly losing ground to Deegan, who was riding his fastest laps of the moto inside the final 10 minutes. The rookie got the champ within sight and began to chip away at the gap. However, Lawrence responded and stabilized the advantage at just over three seconds as time ran out on the race clock.
  • For Hunter Lawrence it was another impressive effort as he completed the sweep of the motos by 4.9 seconds over Jett, with Deegan just a few seconds behind in third.

Overall

  • Hunter Lawrence’s second 1-1 effort of the season netted him his third career win. He and Jett now hold an equal share of victories through the first four races, with each of their respective wins coming via 1-1 sweeps.
  • Jett Lawrence settled for a runner-up finish (2-2) and failed to win for just the fifth time in the premier class. It’s his 29th podium in 31 career starts.
  • Deegan rounded out the top three (4-3) with the second podium result of his anticipated rookie campaign.
  • With the win and six-point gain on Jett, Hunter Lawrence closed to within two points of his younger brother in the 450SMX Class standings. Deegan tightened his grip on third, 38 points out of the lead.

Cole Davies Breaks Through for First 250SMX Class Win in Dominant Effort

 

  • 250SMX Class

 

Qualifying

  • The morning action was headlined by a pair of exceptional efforts from Davies, who paced each session and set the tone for the day. The New Zealander’s second session time of 2:04.283 was fastest and edged out Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Levi Kitchen [#47] by just under two tenths of a second [2:04.460].

 

 

Moto 1 [30 Minutes + 2 Laps]

  • The first moto of the afternoon got underway with the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing machine of Casey Cochran [#59] out front for his first holeshot of the season ahead of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Julien Beaumer [#13] and Davies, who then got shuffled back. The championship co-leaders from Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki, Levi Kitchen [#47] and Seth Hammaker [#10], started in fourth and seventh, respectively.
  • Cochran and Beaumer were able to put a gap over Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Caden Dudney [#82] and the rest of the field. In his attempt to close in on a spot in the top three, Kitchen went down and remounted in ninth.
  • A little more than 10 minutes into the moto Beaumer made the pass on Cochran for the lead and quickly moved out to a three-second advantage.
  • As the moto surpassed the halfway point Davies made the move on Cochran for second and faced a five-second deficit with a little more than 10 minutes to go. On the same lap, Beaumer crashed as he crossed the finish line, which gave the lead to Davies as Beaumer remounted in second, just ahead of Cochran.
  • Soon Davies and Beaumer pulled away as the battle for third heated up between Cochran and Honda HRC Progressive’s Jo Shimoda [#30] who had methodically worked his way forward from a ninth-place start. The defending SMX World Champion made a quick and assertive pass for third inside the final five minutes.
  • Davies held off a last-lap charge from Beaumer to take his second moto of the season by 3.3 seconds, while Shimoda followed in third. Cochran was fourth, with Hammaker fifth. Kitchen rebounded to finish sixth.

 

 

Moto 2 [30 Minutes + 2 Laps]

  • Under darkening skies, the second moto began with Davies out front for the holeshot with his Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rookie teammate Kayden Minear [#99] in second. They sat ahead of a tight pack of several riders with Hammaker third, Beaumer fourth, Cochran fifth, and Kitchen sixth. Shimoda started ninth.
  • As he gave chase to Minear for second Hammaker looped out and crashed hard, which ended his race. That moved Beaumer into third as Kitchen moved into fourth.
  • Riders continued to swap positions, with Honda HRC Progressive’s Chance Hymas [#29] surging up to fourth and Shimoda up to fifth as Kitchen lost several spots and dropped to seventh.
  • The intensity picked up as the moto entered the second half, with Shimoda mounting a charge to contend for a podium with a pass on Hymas for fourth. Further up the track, Beaumer closed in on Minear to establish a fight for second. After an extended battle, Beaumer made the move with just over six minutes to go. 
  • A couple laps later Shimoda caught Minear and another long battle ensued as the Australian rookie fended off everything his Japanese counterpart threw at him. Meanwhile, Kitchen clawed his way back into the top five.
  • Back up front, Davies put the finishing touch on a dominant afternoon with a wire-to-wire effort to complete the sweep of the motos by 3.6 seconds over Beaumer. Minear kept Shimoda at bay for third, as Kitchen rounded out the top five.

Overall

  • Davies’ breakthrough afternoon (1-1) saw him become the 95th different rider to capture a 250SMX Class victory in Pro Motocross and the first New Zealander since Ben Townley at the final race of the 2007 season to stand atop the podium.
  • The best performance of Beaumer’s career (2-2) resulted in his second podium of the season.
  • Shimoda followed up his win from last weekend with a gritty third-place finish (3-4).
  • Kitchen’s strong finish in the final moto left him just off the podium in fourth (6-5) but allowed him to gain sole possession of the points lead.
  • The top four finishers in the overall results are the same four riders who occupy the top four positions in the championship standings as Kitchen now leads Shimoda by a single point. Beaumer sits two points back in third, with Davies seven points behind in fourth.
  • With his DNF in Moto 2, Hammaker finished 13th overall (5-40) and dropped from a tie for first to fifth, 16 points out of the lead.

  • WMX

The 2026 Women’s Motocross Championship Powered by Synchrony reached its halfway point at High Point with its third round of action, contesting a pair of motos across Friday and Saturday. After a memorable opening moto on Friday saw SLR Honda rookie Mayla Herrick [#29] claim a birthday victory in her first professional gate drop, Saturday produced a wild race that unfortunately resulted in a DNF for Herrick and produced another battle between reigning champion and Altus Motorsports bLU cRU Yamaha rider Lachlan “Lala” Turner [#1] and Quad Lock Honda’s Charli Cannon [#7]. With the moto win seemingly in hand, Turner crashed while leading, which handed both the moto win and first U.S. victory to Cannon (5-1). Turner finished in the runner-up spot (3-2), while reigning FIM World Champion Lotte van Drunen [#401] earned her first podium in third (2-4). The WMX will now take a midseason break with a return to action in August.

More from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Masterful Marc Marquez beats Ogura and Bagnaia for mammoth Brno win. The reigning World Champion earns a monstrous victory by 0.4s over the Japanese star in Czechia to reduce the gap to Bezzecchi to just 40 points. 

Mammoth? Seismic? Colossal? Call it what you want. But that is one hell of a statement win. Having sat 102 points away after the Italian Grand Prix, the seven-time World Champion now lurks just 40 points back from the absent World Championship leader Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) after the #93 rolled out a masterclass at the Monster Energy Grand Prix of Czechia. Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) made the reigning World Champion work mighty hard for the 25 points, but in the end, neither could stop the #93 from clinching a victory that feels like it could be a real turning point in the 2026 title chase.

 

BAGNAIA BITES IN OPENING EXCHANGES

Ogura got the getaway he would have been dreaming of to grab the holeshot from Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and Marc Marquez, as the latter then launched an attack on the Italian into Turn 3. That unsettled Di Giannantonio on the exit, and through came Bagnaia too.

Then, through came Bagnaia again. This time on teammate Marc Marquez at Turn 7. An aggressive move on the World Champion, but a clean one. And immediately, Pecco began to crawl all over the rear Michelin rubber of Ogura. The Japanese rider defended well, but on Lap 2, Pecco struck to take the lead into Turn 10. A few corners later, at Turn 13, Marc Marquez followed his teammate through on the Trackhouse star to move into P2.

So at the start of Lap 4, it was Pecco leading Marquez by half a second after consecutive fastest laps of the Grand Prix. Ogura was a further 0.7s down on Marquez, with Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Di Giannantonio lurking in P4 and P5. Meanwhile, Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) was sitting in P8 behind Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) and Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol), having not yet taken his two Long Lap penalties.

On Lap 5, Martin did dive into the Long Lap loop for the first time, which dropped the 2024 World Champion to P10, and the second time around, the #89 slotted back into P13 behind Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3).

 

BAGNAIA, MARQUEZ, OGURA STRETCH THEIR LEGS

By Lap 10, Acosta had dropped to 2.1s behind Ogura, with Di Giannantonio desperately trying to get past the KTM star. Up front, Bagnaia still led – but Marquez was now as close as he’d been all Grand Prix to his teammate. Meanwhile, Ogura was staying well in touch at 0.8s back, and on Lap 11, the polesitter set his personal best lap.

Bagnaia responded though. The #63 set his personal best lap, a 1:53.510, but it was then a return volley from Ogura on the next time around. The #79 landed the fastest lap of the race with eight laps to go, and then it was the turn of Marquez to turn the screw.

 

 

 

MM93 BEGINS VICTORY PUSH

The #93 was now looking the most dangerous in the victory fight. And sure enough, the lead changed for the first time in a while at Turn 4, and now it was all about how Pecco and Ogura could respond.

Marquez immediately pulled 0.6s clear of Bagnaia, and the Italian now had Ogura climbing all over his rear wheel. The Japanese star needed to make a move rapido here if a debut win was possible, and that’s what he did. Five to go, Lap 10, a late lunge, job done.

Four laps to go. 0.8s splitting Marquez and Ogura.

Three laps to go, 0.7s splitting Marquez and Ogura. The latter was marginally quicker, but at this stage, not enough.

Two to go. 0.6s in it. This was tantalising in the chase to win the Czech GP, and a little further back, Pecco was coming under threat from Di Giannantonio after the Italian set the fastest lap of the Grand Prix.

LAST LAP. And it was a great lap from the champion. Marquez led Ogura by 0.8s, but Ogura chopped it down to 0.5s through split two. The Japanese rider was properly digging in here, but it wasn’t going to be enough. A masterclass from an all-time great. That’s what it took to beat Ogura today, and Marquez did just that to clinch a second win of the season, and one that blows this fascinating title race wide open.

Despite narrowly missing out on a debut MotoGP win by 0.4s, Ogura’s Brno weekend was his best yet in MotoGP, and one that sees the Japanese sophomore sit just six points away from Marquez in the overall standings. Bagnaia just fended off Di Giannantonio at the chequered flag by 0.169s as all three podium finishers take home a double rostrum from Brno.

 

THE BRNO POINT SCORERS

Di Giannantonio’s late race pace was stunning, signalled by the Italian setting the fastest lap on the final lap, but it wasn’t enough for a podium for the VR46 Racing star. Mir rounded out the top five for HRC to collect his first Sunday top 10 of the season, with Fermin Aldeguer (Bk8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) sixth in Czechia. Having been in hospital on Thursday with illness, a P7 on Sunday was a great effort from the #25, as Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol) beat Martin to the line by 0.136s in the chase for eighth.

P9 for Martin wasn’t the result he or Aprilia Racing would have been hoping for, despite the two Long Laps, in a weekend to forget for the factory Noale squad. Bastianini completed the top 10, with rookie Moreira crossing the line in P11. Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team), Toprak Razgatlioglu (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) and Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3) were the final points scorers in Brno.

Elsewhere, it was late heartbreak for Acosta, who suffered a race-ending issue in the closing stages to see his chances of topping up the points tally end. A Sunday to remove from the memory for the unlucky #37. 

 

COMING UP: A TRIP TO THE CATHEDRAL

Next, we head to another all-time classic venue. Assen. This enthralling MotoGP title race in 2026 is more alive than ever, with Bezzecchi and Aprilia needing a response to the looming threat of Ducati and Marc Marquez. 

See you there.

More, from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Ortola vs Alonso goes to the wire, Salač clinches home podium. A wonderful last corner move from the #4 sees him beat the Colombian in Brno as the home hero celebrates a P3. 

What a race. What a last-lap, last-corner pass. And with a Long Lap penalty to go with it. Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR – Exocom – MSI) is a Moto2 race winner for the first time after the #4 rolls out an unbelievable last-corner move on David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) to clinch victory in Brno, and in P3, the home hero – Filip Salač. The OnlyFans American Racing Team rider makes his dreams come true to stand on the Czech GP podium having finished just 0.7s away from the win.

From pole, Alonso held onto the P1 baton into Turn 1 as Ortola, who faced a Long Lap penalty from Row 2, got off to a flyer to propel himself into P2. Salač lost a few places on Lap 1; the Czech star was shuffled down to P6 behind the top two, Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team), Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2), and Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP).

World Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) climbed three places to P10 at the end of Lap 1 after his grid penalty. And a lap later, Gonzalez had squeezed past Collin Veijer (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team) to slot into P8.

Ortola dived into the Long Lap penalty loop on Lap 4, and such was the gap to Guevara in P3, Ortola came out in P2 still. Guevara was up the inside of his compatriot into Turn 8, but Ortola hung it around the outside and then had the inside line into Turn 9. Job done for Ortola, but the gap to race leader Alonso was now 1.4s.

Not for long though. Ortola set the fastest lap of the race, a 1:58.636, to cut the margin to Alonso back down to beneath the one-second barrier. And a little further behind, Gonzalez was now P6 behind fifth place Salač, with Guevara and Agius in P3 and P4.

A big move in the podium places came on Lap 11. Agius lunged up the inside of Guevara at Turn 7, but it was a move that sent both wide. That saw the door open for Salač, who swept through on the Australian and Spaniard to grab hold of P3, with the gap to Alonso and Ortola standing at around half a second.

Until it wasn’t. By Lap 13, Salač was right on the coattails of the top two, and with four laps to go, the blue touch paper was lit in the Moto2 Czech GP fight. Ortola made two moves, one at Turn 1, another at Turn 4, but Alonso bit back to hold onto the lead.

This was building up to a thrilling finale. Alonso vs Ortola vs Salač, with Agius 0.8s away in P4. Then, Salač suddenly lost crucial ground with two laps to go to drop him 0.8s from the top two, and just 0.5s away from Agius.

Last lap time. It looked like it was Alonso vs Ortola for the win, with Salač now in defensive mode to hold onto a dream home Grand Prix podium. No move came until the final couple of corners arrived. Alonso led, but Ortola set up a beauty. Turn 13 saw the #4 hang it around the outside to pounce up the inside of Turn 14, and it was a classy pass underneath the Colombian that saw the Spaniard earn his first Moto2 victory.

It’s Alonso’s first podium of the season, but having led for 99% of the race, that might sting a bit for the #80. Still, a great ride, and what definitely won’t sting will be Salač’s podium for the Czech star and the thousands of Czech fans in Brno. It’s not the win, but it’s back-to-back podiums for Salač – and a dream come true to stand on the famous Brno rostrum.

Agius’ P4 was a very solid afternoon’s work after the Aussie lost his right knee slider during the race, and the same – minus the knee slider part – can be said for Gonzalez’s comeback to P5. P13 to a top five, and beating your main title rival on the final lap, signals a job well done for the title race leader. That title rival is Guevara, who finished P6 at the flag after a good battle with Gonzalez.

Holgado faded to P7 to finish less than half a second ahead of eighth place Roberts, as Celestino Vietti (HDR SpeedRS Team) loses ground in the championship with a P9. Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) continued his points streak as the reigning Moto3 World Champion earned P10.

Tune in for more Moto2 fun when we go racing at the Cathedral of Speed next weekend!

More from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Malaysian masterclass as Danish takes maiden Moto3 victory at Brno. An epic 16-lap fight resulted in the rookie timing it to perfection for Czech GP honours. 

A first win for Malaysia in a decade and a career-first for Hakim Danish (AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI) who overcame a 12-place grid penalty to hit the front on the last lap after a race-long battle. The #13 became the fourth new winner of the 2026 season, finishing ahead of Brian Uriarte (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Championship leader Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team).

It was a bright start from polesitter David Almansa (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) but he was beaten to the holeshot by Quiles. Straight away on the opening lap, a front group of four broke clear as Quiles, Almansa and Red Bull KTM Ajo duo Alvaro Carpe and Brian Uriarte duked it out. Further down, it was a cracking start from Danish who after receiving a 12-place grid penalty, started 14th and was P5 and with the leaders by Lap 2.

Four had become six with Danish right with the leaders and bringing Casey O’Gorman (SIC58 Squadra Corse) with him whilst less than a second back, Veda Pratama (Honda Team Asia) had also recovered from his 12-place grid penalty and was P7 from 20th and by Lap 5, had climbed into the top four having had a very quiet weekend. A seven-rider fight at the front, Moto3 was at its best. A change of the lead on Lap 6 as Almansa burst through at Turn 1 whilst seven became six when O’Gorman crashed out at Turn 9.

Almansa’s lead was short-lived when Uriarte dispatched of Quiles and the Grand Prix leader at Turns 5 and 7 respectively and the #22 was now being beaten up by the Championship leader and Carpe, managing to recover to P3 as the second half of the race began. The battle kept raging, Almansa working his way to P1 briefly before Quiles took over and then Carpe pounced on the #22 at Turn 4, running him out wide and fragmenting the group.

With four to go, the group was back together and there was a brief change of lead with Almansa getting back in the game and attacking Quiles but the Buriram winner was unable to make it stick. Two laps to go and it was still anyone’s to win; Quiles stood firm and was leading brilliantly but the chasing pack were eager to disrupt his flow. Disrupting flow was what Pratama did to Almansa at Turn 10 whilst Carpe made a mistake all on his own, allowing Quiles, Uriarte and Danish to break free at the front.

Last lap time and elbows were flying everywhere and there was contact at Turn 8 between Quiles and Uriarte and that paved the way for Danish to carve his way through. In the final sector, it was five abreast into the final corner but nobody was getting near the Malaysian rookie. From 14th on the grid, it was a masterclass from Danish to take his maiden victory in Moto3 and Malaysia’s first since Khairul Idham Pawi at the Sachsenring in 2016. In the all-out fight for second, Uriarte came out on top ahead of Quiles with Almansa fourth despite being in P2 on the run up to the final two corners. Pratama was fifth at the flag whilst Carpe lost valuable ground to Quiles in the title race to finish sixth.

Noteworthy performances included a good comeback from 17th on the grid to P7 for Marco Morelli (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) and Joel Kelso (GRYD Racing) a best result of 2026 in eighth. Scott Ogden (CIP GreenPower) took his second top ten of the season in ninth ahead of Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) who came home tenth.

BSB: Race 1 Results From Knockhill

Ryde victorious as heartbreak for Ray with race one retirement. 

Kyle Ryde was victorious in the opening British Superbike Championship race at Knockhill as Bradley Ray was cruelly denied the chance to challenge for the win over the final four laps.

Ray had been pushing his Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing rival throughout the race as the pair exchanged fastest laps at the front of the field. The McAMS Yamaha rider in striking distance of the reigning champion, but there was heartbreak for Ray as his charge was curtailed when he was forced to retire with a technical problem.

At the start, Ryde and Ray had instantly hit the leading two positions with Scott Redding holding third for the Hager PBM Racing Team and Storm Stacey also in close contention.

Redding held third until he was elevated into second position after Ray’s retirement in the closing stages, but behind both Ryan Vickers and Glenn Irwin had fought their way ahead of Stacey and Rory Skinner to be in the battle for the final podium position over the final laps.

Vickers was holding off Glenn Irwin with the Honda Racing UK rider delivering his best result of the season so far, but a year to the day after his season-shattering crash at Snetterton, the Nitrous Coin Nitrous Competitions Racing rider wasn’t going to settle for fourth.

The battle between the pair went right down to the finish with Glenn Irwin able to fend off the attack from the Honda Racing UK rider over the final three laps to mark an emotional return to the podium.

Skinner held on to fifth place to claim his best result of the season for the Cheshire Mouldings Yamaha, pushing ahead of Stacey and Christian Iddon. Leon Haslam fought back after a challenging start to the weekend to finish in eighth with the DAO Racing Honda pairing of Josh Brookes and Lee Jackson completing the top ten.

“I was running low on energy at the end, but I rode the bike really good for the first 20 laps. I made one little mistake and Brad caught me and then I was honestly thinking at that point that he was going to pass me into turn three or the last corner, as I wasn’t very good on the brakes there.

“Unfortunately, Brad had a DNF because I think he would have definitely had something at the end to fight with me. I think Brad will be revved up even more for tomorrow, so will definitely be a tough person to beat and we can look forward to the two races.”

FIM MotoGP Stewards Suspend Bezzecchi From The Czech GP

Emotions boiled over on Saturday following his crash out the Sprint, leaving the #72 on the sidelines for Sunday. 

Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) will not take part in the Czech GP Grand Prix race. Following his crash out of the Tissot Sprint in Brno, the Italian was involved in an altercation with a marshal and was called to see the FIM MotoGP Stewards.

The FIM MotoGP Stewards document, which explains that they have suspended Bezzecchi from the Czech GP, says that “following a crash you pushed and struck circuit Marshals who were trying to recover your machine.”

That is an infringement of Article 3.3.2.2, an action “prejudicial to the interests of the sport”.

After hearings with Bezzecchi to listen to his case, the FIM MotoGP Stewards have confirmed their penalty is the suspension from the Czech GP. That means the #72 will not race on Sunday.

Aprilia have the right to appeal within one hour of the publication of the penalty.

More From The NEMRR Loudon Classic: Ty Scott Wins Again!

Tyler Scott Wins The Loudon Classic For The Third Time!

M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott won the Loudon Classic on a Suzuki GSX-R750 for the third time, earning  another $40,000 on top of the combined $150,000 he won in the 2025, 2024, and 2023 Classics, winning twice and finishing second once. The race was red-flagged early on and restarted, and was shortened from a planned 25 laps to 20 laps, paying Scott $2,000 per completed lap. The winner’s $40,000 purse was reduced from the $60,000 Scott won last year, with the money redistributed to other classes run as part of the weekend.

Scott raced his personal practice bike because his M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team racebike was already prepped for the MotoAmerica National the following weekend, and he made things harder for himself by crashing that practice bike during a shakedown run a few days before the Loudon Classic. “What a great weekend ending up back on top of the box for the 103rd Loudon Classic. It was a more stressful weekend from years past with the conditions and lack of resources due to a testing crash a few days before, and I can’t thank everyone involved enough–especially my dad and Davey Loikits for working hard to get the bike fixed on such short notice.  The weekend started out rough but when the rain started the sun shone on our program,” said Scott afterwards. “It was good and we were able to win for the second year in a row.”

Brandon Paasch races an M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbike in MotoAmerica events, but finished second in the Classic on a borrowed, third-hand Suzuki GSX-R750 that needed a lot of work to be race worthy, and earned $25,000. “Picked up this 750 on Monday in absolute shambles and earned every bit of my paycheck this week. From last week thinking I wasn’t racing, to spending an entire week of grinding to even make the grid, to finishing 2nd in the 103rd Loudon Classic by 0.3 of a second. We’ll take it,” Paasch said. “Massive thank you to everyone who was able to help make this happen: Mike Skowronek at Triple Strong Racing for spending an entire day going over this thing with me so I had something safe to race, Dunlop for the tires, Phillip Bailey and Harley Brumgard for coming out last minute to help keep the bike and me on track, Reese Briody for the last-minute number plates, Shiloh Salopek for un-f**king my electronics, Tino Pietri for a can of 93 octane pump gas for practice and everyone else who played a part in making it happen. We made out good in the results, made some money, and got out of there safe.” 

Eli Block was third after leading when the track was wettest and made $12,500 on an Aprilia 660 in the race, which started wet, dried out a bit, then finished in mixed conditions.

Joseph Lemandri Jr. was fourth on a Yamaha YZF-R9 followed by Eric Wood and Ben Gloddy on YZF-R6 Yamahas. Dominic Doyle was eighth on a Liberty Yamaha Racing YZF-R9 ahead of Adam Guyer and Asher Rubright.

Of the 40 riders entered, 25 started the race in wet conditions.

Note: Contrary to what we reported in error earlier, Block (who has moved to Florida) did not qualify for a local rider bonus of $5,000 in addition to the regular purse money. The bonus money went to the following riders:

More from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Bagnaia holds off Ogura and Marquez for sublime Sprint gold. The #63 puts in an imperious Sprint with a close finish at the front as Bezzecchi slides out on Saturday. 

Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) took his first Tissot Sprint win of the season in style at Brno, off the line like a rocket and holding off some serious pressure from behind to the line. From pole position, Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) was forced to settle for second by just two tenths at the flag, with Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) completing the Saturday rostrum.

 

 

 

Off the line it was a pure drag race as Bagnaia got the best start on the front row, from P3, and Ogura the worst from pole position, leaving the #63 in the lead and the #79 forced the settle into second. They held position ahead of some shuffling behind, with Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) picked off by Marc Marquez ahead of some early drama. Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) slid out on Lap 1 followed swiftly by Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3) in separate incidents, leaving a little gap where each had been. Riders ok.

 

 

 

At the front, Bagnaia was setting the pace with around half a second in hand ahead of Ogura, but the gap behind them was starting to stretch further. Marquez was holding on ahead of Diggia, however, with Championship leader Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) next up. Behind him, Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) was homing in on Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing).

Fireworks soon set off there by mid-distance as the two swapped positions not once nor twice, with Acosta eventually getting the deal done but not losing the close company from the #89. He held on for another couple of laps before his Sprint came to an early end, the #37 sliding out at Turn 11. Rider ok and ready to reload for Sunday.

Meanwhile at the front, what had been a growing gap between Bagnaia and Ogura was shrinking by four to go – and the Japanese rider was bringing company in the form of Marc Marquez as he started to eat up the metres. The trio looked on to decide the podium between themselves, with Di Giannantonio not quite able to bring himself back into contention from fourth.

 

 

 

Suddenly, more drama hit – this time for Bezzecchi. From a solid fifth, the championship leader suddenly slid out at Turn 3, losing the valuable points and promoting teammate Martin, just behind him, to the top five.

There were no such dramas for the race leaders. Onto the last lap, Bagnaia led Ogura led Marquez, with little to choose between them as the concertina made its way around Brno. As the metres ticked down though it was Ogura making the gains, with Marquez watching a duel for the win slowly pull away. But Ogura was forced to endure the same as Bagnaia kept it tidy as ever, giving no opportunity for the Japanese rider to create a move. The #63 crossed the line with just over two tenths in hand, supreme on Saturday.

 

 

 

 

 

Ogura takes second on a weekend that has seen him go fastest on Friday and take his maiden pole, and he’ll be aiming for more on Sunday. Marc Marquez takes third place ahead of Di Giannantonio, with Martin completing the top five on Saturday before he serves his double Long Lap on Sunday.

Raul Fernandez (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) came home sixth ahead of a charge up the order from Red Bull KTM Tech3’s Enea Bastianini into P7, with Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) and Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) completing the points scorers – denying Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) the opportunity by just a tenth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s a wrap on Saturday action, with more to come on Grand Prix Sunday. Don’t miss it as the field reload at the Monster Energy Grand Prix of Czechia!
