Description
The Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix is a motorcycling event that is part of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing season.
The tradition of motorcycle racing in Brno dates back to 1930 on the so-called 'City Circuit'. The first Czechoslovakian Grand Prix was held at Brno in 1965, with the 500cc class raced over thirteen laps of the original 13.94 km long road circuit. The current circuit was first used for GP racing in 1987 and hosted the Czechoslovakian GP through until 1991.
The event was revived in 1993 as the Grand Prix of the Czech Republic and has taken place every year since. The only venue to have hosted more Grand Prix events than Brno being Assen, in the Netherlands.

Andrea Dovizioso has kick-started his MotoGP campaign with a much-needed victory at Brno beating Ducati team-mate Jorge Lorenzo and championship leader Marc Marquez in a frantic closing laps battle.
After Dovizioso and Valentino Rossi traded stints in the lead over the opening stages, the race pace proved to be remarkably slower than predicted with riders opting to conserve their tyre life ahead of a tense final third of the race.
The predicted front trio of Dovizioso, Lorenzo and Marquez bolted ahead at the front with four laps to go setting personal fastest times to bolt clear of Rossi and Cal Crutchlow.
Despite the front three exchanging a number of passes Dovizioso appeared to have a small edge with a smoother charge. The Italian rider put it into play on the final lap to steer clear of any late lunges from either of his Spanish rivals to clinch victory – his first win since the 2018 opener in Qatar.
That left Lorenzo to sprint to the chequered flag in second place just 0.012s ahead of Marquez who had to settle for a rostrum for Repsol Honda to strengthen his championship lead.
