Tank Slappers: 2025 Czech Republic GP review
Marc Marquez's domination of MotoGP in 2025 continued as the series travelled to Brno for round 12 of the championship. It was another double victory for Marc Marquez with the sprint and the grand prix win, but it wasn't straightforward, especially on Saturday

Dre Harrison, Richard Asher and Oriol Puigdemont break down why Marc Marquez had to intentionally drop the lead of the race due to warnings over tyre pressures, and how Dorna got their sums wrong when calculating its own regulation.
With Alex Marquez crashing in the GP, it pushes older brother Marc's championship lead up to 120 points, and made way for Marco Bezzecchi to lead the fight for Aprilia, taking his second runner-up finish in the last three weekends. With Raul Fernandez finishing as top independent and Jorge Martin back and happy in 7th, is Aprilia back on a positive upswing?
There's also a discussion on a potentially huge story - MotoGP's manufacturers banding together against Dorna Sports as rights holders for the series, to ask for a bigger slice of the overall revenue, and to own their own slots on the grid, rather than have them be at Dorna's discretion. Is a 'Concorde Agreement' reachable between the parties, and is this more to do with Liberty's recent acquisition?
Finally, the 2026 MotoGP calendar has dropped, with Brazil making its debut for 2026 in March, and promise of a return to Argentina's Buenos Aries in 2027.
