The legendary Automotodrom Brno is back on the MotoGP calendar for 2025, kicking off the second half of the season with the Czech GP.
Brno: A Classic Track Returns
For the first time since 2020, the historic Automotodrom Brno will once again host a MotoGP Grand Prix. Known for its challenging layout and memorable moments, this track is set to deliver thrilling racing as riders push for a crucial victory before the summer break.
Key Rider Updates: Comebacks and Absences
All eyes will be on Jorge Martin, who makes a highly anticipated return to action. Martin has faced a tough season, notably crashing at the Qatar GP which resulted in multiple fractured ribs and chest trauma. This race marks a fresh start for the reigning world champion, especially after confirming his contract with Aprilia for next year.
Enea Bastianini is also back on track after recovering from appendicitis, adding another strong contender to the mix. However, Franco Morbidelli will unfortunately miss the Czech GP due to a collarbone injury sustained during the German GP Sprint.

Marc Marquez arrives in Brno with a commanding 83-point lead in the championship standings. After his impressive clean sweep at Sachsenring, the Ducati rider will be aiming to extend his winning streak and solidify his position at the top.
