The Czech MotoGP sprint race is set to take place later today after a full day of practice and qualifying as the MotoGP paddock returns to the Brno circuit following a five-year hiatus.
Comfortably leading the standings, Marc Marquez is still at the top of the leaderboard with 344 points, while younger brother Alex Marquez is the current runner-up with a tally of 261. Francesco Bagnaia rounds out the top three with 197 points.
Bagnaia has a good opportunity to add to his points haul as he starts the sprint from pole position, but six-time champion Marc Marquez is alongside in second. Watch out for Fabio Quartararo on the Yamaha too, who occupies the third spot on the grid. The Japanese bike likes high-grip conditions, and the resurfaced Brno circuit appears to suit it.
Here is everything you need to know for the rest of the weekend.
