More from a press release issued by Dorna:

Marc Marquez beats Acosta despite strategy intrigue in Brno Sprint. Another strategic master stroke for the #93 whilst two KTMs are behind as Acosta and Bastianini shine on Saturday.

It was the first ever Tissot Sprint at Brno and a first pole start of 2025 for Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) so right from lights out, there was lots on the line. After what seemed like a tyre pressure battle led to both Pecco and teammate Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) slowing up, the #93 soon pushed his way to the front to make it another Sprint success. He took gold ahead of Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3), making it two KTMs on a podium for the first time this season.

FIRST STAGES: battles all the way through the pack

Snatching the holeshot, Pecco lead the way until Turn 3 when teammate Marc attacked and took over at the front. Elsewhere, a poor start from Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) left him down in 19th on Lap 1 whilst at Turn 3 on Lap 2, Augusto Fernandez (Yamaha Factory Racing Team) slid off and collected Takaaki Nakagami (IDEMITSU Honda LCR), ending both their Sprints. Into P3 on the second lap, Acosta got himself ahead of Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) whilst the Frenchman was rubbing fairings with Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) at Turn 10. Meanwhile, Bez’s returning teammate, World Champion Jorge Martin, was up into P7 in the early stages.

TYRE PRESSURE CONCERNS: Pecco and Marc slow from leading positions

At the end of Lap 4, Bastianini was capitalising on his strong weekend so far and into fourth and ahead of Quartararo, but the drama was further up the road. On the exit of Turn 4, Bagnaia slowed down and was passed by Acosta, Bastianini and Quartararo. A lap later and it could have been a replay – this time for Marc Marquez; the #93 likewise slowing down and letting Acosta through to let the #37 lead in his first outing at Brno.

Both the Ducatis slowing down but getting straight back into the pace suggested that tyre pressures needed controlling but whatever it was, the last three laps had Acosta, Marc Marquez, Bastianini and Quartararo all in victory contention. Behind, Bezzecchi clambered ahead of Pecco at Turn 11, now into the top five, with Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) next up.

LATE CHARGES: Bezzecchi and Fernandez move up, Marc retakes P1

On the penultimate lap, Bezzecchi worked his way into fourth ahead of Quartararo as his trademark late pace came to the fore. Up at the front and on the direction change from Turn 8 into Turn 9, Marc Marquez pounced in what would prove to be a Sprint-winning pass on ‘El Tiburon’. Another success in the Sprint for the Championship leader who extended his Championship advantage, with a first Sprint podium for Acosta since Aragon 2024. Two KTMs on a Sprint podium underline their previous happy memories at Brno and it’s a first rostrum of the year for Bastianini. There was a small caveat on top of the podium with Marquez’s tyre pressure under investigation but that was soon over, the win standing for Marc.

ROUNDING OUT THE ORDER: Bezzecchi just off the podium, Martin 11^th

Bezzecchi claimed P4 with Quartararo behind him. On the final lap, Fernandez pushed his way into sixth place ahead of polesitter Pecco, whilst Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) and super-sub Pol Espargaro (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) completed the points-paying positions. On his comeback ride, Martin finished in 11th, just behind Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing). Alex Marquez, meanwhile, was forced to settle for P17 and zero points after the nightmare start. That’s 12 more lost to Marc Marquez in the championship chase… but Sunday is another day.

Moto2 : Baltus Takes Pole Position At Brno

Barry Baltus was the man to beat during Moto2 World qualifying Saturday at Automotodrom Brno, in Czech Republic. Riding his Pirelli-shod Fantic Racing Lino Sonego Kalex, Baltus navigated the 3.36-mile (5.40 km) course in 1:58.322, breaking Joe Roberts 2025 All-Time Lap Record of 1:58.444 he set this morning.

American Joe Roberts was second-best with a 1:58.342 on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex, and his teammate, Marcos Ramirez claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 1:58.579.

Manuel Gonzalez crossed the finish line fourth on his LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP Kalex with a lap time of 1:58.711.

Daniel Holgado got fifth with a time of 1:58.805 on his CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team Kalex.

QualifyingResults Moto2

More from a press release issued by Dorna:

Baltus edges out Roberts for pole, Canet P18 in Brno. Just 0.020 sees the Belgian deny the American as Canet faces a fightback after solid qualifying for key title rivals.

Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) went from Q1 to pole position at Brno, just edging out Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing) by 0.020. Just to rub it in, the Belgian also set his lap behind the American. Roberts’ teammate Marcos Ramirez completes the front row, pushing Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) down to P4.

A crash for Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) early in Q2 sees him start from P18 on the grid, giving the #44 some work to do on Sunday as key challengers start much further forward.

Daniel Holgado (CFMoto Inde Aspar Team) and Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) join Gonzalez on Row 2, ahead of Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) in P7. Wildcard Mattia Pasini (Fantic Racing Redemption) and home hero Filip Salač (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) complete the third row.

We know Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) starts from pitlane due to his penalty from the German GP, and the Brazilian also sat out Q1. More familiar names were left behind by the time Q2 began too, including reigning Moto3 Champion David Alonso (CFMoto Inde Aspar Team) and multiple podium finisher Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo).

Moto3 : Pini Claims Pole Position At Brno

Guido Pini earned pole position during Moto3 World Championship qualifying Saturday at Automotodrom Brno, in Czech Republic. Riding his LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP KTM on Pirelli control tires, the rookie turned a lap time of 2:05.019. Not only was that good enough to lead the 24-rider field, it was also good enough to eclipse Jose Antonio Rueda’s 2025 All-Time Lap Record he set during FP2 of 2:05.421.

Jose Antonio Rueda was the best of the rest with a 2:05.045 on his Red Bull KTM Ajo, and Pini’s teammate, David Muñoz claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 2:05.057.

Row-two qualifiers included Leopard Racing Honda’s David Almansa (2:05.091), Maximo Quiles on his CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team KTM (2:05.175) and his teammate Dennis Foggia (2:05.188).

QualifyingResults moto3

More, from a press release issued by Dorna:

Pini powers to first-ever Moto3™ pole. The rookie Italian was in fine form to make it back-to-back front rows.

Moto3 was frantic as ever during qualifying; Guido Pini (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) took pole position to lead the charge into Sunday, ahead of Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) in second and David Muñoz (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) in P3. Muñoz’s back of the grid start means it’s David Almansa (Leopard Racing) who returns to the front row on the grid in P3.

Moving through Q1 and into Q2, Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) lead the way ahead of Marcos Uriarte (LEVELUP-MTA), super debutant Marco Morelli (DENSSI Racing – BOE) and Noah Detwiller (CIP Green Power), ready to do battle for pole. After the opening laps of Q2, Rueda led the way ahead of Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) and Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team). At the opposite end of the leaderboard, Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) didn’t set a lap time and fellow FP2 crasher Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) was P12. With just three minutes left, it was all to play for.

A flurry of action delivered the goods in the closing stages and after being down in the first three sectors, Pini pulled the pin in the fourth to make it back-to-back front rows and a career-first front row. Rueda will go from P2 after being denied in the last moments with Muñoz P3 but with a back of the grid start coming, it promotes David Almansa (Leopard Racing) to the front row. Quiles was pushed down the order but salvaged fifth across the line, leading up the second row of the grid on Sunday, ahead of teammate Dennis Foggia and Perrone.

Rounding out the top ten, Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) was eighth ahead of the impressive Morelli, whilst Piqueras will complete row three on Sunday and Uriarte leads from the head of the fourth row – not a bad showing from the riders who came through Q1. Polesitter last time out Scott Ogden (CIP Green Power), Carpe and Ryusei Yamanaka (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) are just some of the names with work to do on Sunday.

MotoGP : Bagnaia On pole Position At Brno

Francesco Bagnaia earned pole position during MotoGP World Championship qualifying on Saturday at Automotodrom Brno, in Czech Republic. Riding his Lenovo Ducati Desmosedici GP25, the two-time World Champion broke Marc Marquez’s All-Time Lap Record of 1:53.145 he set in FP2 with a time of 1:52.303 around the 3.36-mile (5.40 km) circuit during Qualifying Two (Q2) on Saturday.

His teammate, Marc Marquez was the best of the rest with a 1:52.522, and Fabio Quartararo claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a 1:52.608 on his Monster Energy Yamaha YZR-M1.

Row-two qualifiers included Aprilia Racing’s Marco Bezzecchi (1:52.644), Joan Mir on his Honda HRC Castrol RC213V (1:52.763) and Raul Fernandez on his Trackhouse RS-GP (1:52.796).

Reigning MotoGP champion Jorge Martín made a strong return in Brno, working his way into Q2 before ultimately finishing 12th on his Aprilia RS-GP25.

More from a press release issued by Dorna:

Bagnaia bags Brno pole from Q1 as Marc Marquez crashes. Pecco pockets his first pole of 2025 to beat the #93 in Q2, as Quartararo earns P3 with Martin 12th on the grid.

Q1 to pole position equals a great morning’s work for Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) as the double MotoGP World Champion claims his first pole of 2025, and late drama unfolds for his teammate Marc Marquez. Despite the final time attack lap Turn 13 crash, the championship leader will launch from P2 on the grid as the factory Ducati duo are joined on the front row by Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP).

Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP), the rider second in the standings, is forced to settle for the third row launch in the Tissot Sprint and Grand Prix, as reigning World Champion Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) gets set to line up in P12 after his first qualifying outing since April.

Q1 – Bagnaia and Raul Fernandez through, Di Giannantonio misses out

All eyes were on 2022 and 2023 MotoGP World Champion Bagnaia in Q1, and it wasn’t a smooth sailing opening stint for the Italian. Pecco pitted after sitting up and out of his second flying lap while he was P6, with Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and Maverick Viñales’ replacement Pol Espargaro (Red Bull KTM Tech3) occupying P1 and P2 as things stood.

A better lap was landed by Pecco on his second run though. A 1:52.715 saw the Italian go 0.4s clear of Di Giannantonio, before Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) climbed to P2. Not for long though. The impressive Espargaro jumped back into the top two before Di Giannantonio went 0.184s off Pecco – but that wasn’t enough. Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) powered his way to P2 to go 0.060s away from Bagnaia, so the pressure was on Di Giannantonio in the closing stages.

Did the Italian have a reply? He improved his time, but Di Giannantonio stayed P3. Fernandez’s very solid lap was good enough to knock the VR46 star out of qualifying, as Bagnaia and Trackhouse’s Spaniard strolled into Q2.

Q2 – LATE DRAMA SEES PECCO POCKET POLE

The first benchmark lap was set by Marc Marquez and it was a 1:52.522, with Quartararo slotting into an early P2 to sit 0.093s away from the #93. Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) and Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) placed themselves in P3 and P4, with the returning Martin P10 after his opening effort in Q2.

Having not yet set a lap, Bagnaia was on a charge with five minutes to go. The #63 was 0.119s under Marc Marquez’s time through split two, 0.133s under through split three, and over the line, Pecco pocketed provisional pole by 0.219s.

Now, what did Marc Marquez, Quartararo and the others have in response? Well Bezzecchi, after running into the gravel at Turn 1, was down as he started his next flying lap, which was very costly for Bezzecchi because his front row hopes were gone. And with the yellow flags still waving, a lot of laps were scrubbed off with two minutes to go.

Fernandez’s wasn’t though. The #25 rose to P5 from P12, which shoved Alex Marquez down to P7 as one time attack lap remained for Bagnaia, Marc Marquez, Quartararo, Alex Marquez and Acosta, who were all on track together and fighting for prime position.

Marc Marquez led the freight train and through Sector 1, he lit up the timing screens. The gap was 0.245s through the third split as pole position looked guaranteed – until it wasn’t. Marc Marquez was down at Turn 13 and it was in the same place where Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) had crashed seconds before, as the penultimate corner caught out Friday’s fastest duo.

So with that late drama, pole position went the way of Marc Marquez’s teammate Pecco. A first of the year for the #63, as the championship leader had to settle for P2, with Quartararo earning P3.

TOP 12 ON THE CZECH GP GRID

Bezzecchi’s crash, in the end, didn’t cost him a place as the Aprilia ride spearheads Row 2, with Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) securing his best qualifying result of the season with P5. The 2020 World Champion has Fernandez alongside him in P6, that’s his best Saturday morning result of the campaign too, as Acosta fronts Row 3 in P7.

Alex Marquez has work to do from P8 if he’s to stop Marc Marquez from extending his championship lead, with Zarco completing that third row in ninth. P10 went to Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP), 11th belongs to Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3), while reigning World Champion Martin starts from P12 in his first Grand Prix since Qatar.

COMING UP: BRNO’S TISSOT SPRINT

Bagnaia on pole, Marc Marquez P2, Quartararo leading the fight to the Ducatis, Alex Marquez needing a great launch, and what can Martin muster up? Plenty of questions, and we’ll get the answers late this afternoon at 15:00 local time. Tune in.
