Czech Republic MotoGP race

16:36 That'll be it for our live coverage of MotoGP this weekend. The race wasn't exactly a classic, especially by MotoGP standards - but luckily there will be another just in a week's time.

Brno MotoGP: Marquez eases to sixth win of 2019

Honda rider Marc Marquez overcame nearest title rival Andrea Dovizioso to take his sixth MotoGP victory of the season in a delayed Czech Grand Prix at Brno.

16:34 Marquez: "You know, I was really concentrated from the beginning, was some wet patches still on Turn 1, but I decided to start and keep my rhythm. I saw that Dovi was behind me, I just keep pushing and, when remained 10-11 laps, is when I had that warning, because it's the time that I start to push more.

"Very happy because crazy weekend but all Repsol Honda team was really focused, really concentrated, really precise, and this helps me to achieve the final goal."

16:33 Dovizioso: "Well, it was a strange race - really fast at the beginning, we were riding in a perfect way, same line, very smooth, but in the middle of the race he [Marquez] push a bit more on the braking and I couldn't brake harder.

"The rear dropped for everybody, and I couldn't stay there, but happy to be back on the podium, it was very important. I wanted to stay to the end with Marquez but his way of riding is a bit different."

16:31 Miller: "This is definitely the better one [of my podiums], that's for sure, it's nice to fight there in the end, I saw Rins was spinning quite a lot the rear tyre, I was just biding my time, and he was really struggling at Horsepower Hill, and that's when I decided to pass him.

"I knew I had to be patient and take my time. The front tyre was probably my biggest downfall, we haven't ridden on the hard tyre all weekend. Would've been nice to have a little more dry track time all weekend, but hey, we're here."

16:27 Championship top 10: 1 Marquez, 210; 2 Dovizioso, 147; 3 Petrucci, 129; 4 Rins, 114; 5 Vinales, 91; 6 Rossi, 90; 7 Miller, 86; 8 Crutchlow, 78; 9 Quartararo, 76; 10 P Espargaro, 61.

16:21 Final order: 1 Marquez, 2 Dovizioso, 3 Miller, 4 Rins, 5 Crutchlow, 6 Rossi, 7 Quartararo, 8 Petrucci, 9 Nakagami, 10 Vinales, 11 P Espargaro, 12 Bagnaia, 13 Oliveira, 14 Zarco, 15 Bradl, 16 Rabat, 17 Iannone, 18 A Espargaro, 19 Abraham, 20 Guintoli.

16:20 Dovizioso takes second, Miller completes the podium in third place for Pramac Ducati.

16:20 Marc Marquez completes a rather leisurely final lap to win the 2019 Czech GP.

16:18 Final lap, Marquez is three seconds clear.

16:18 Miller has gapped Rins immediately, so that's the podium battle over. The Suzuki rider will now need to worry about Crutchlow, who is just over a second behind.

16:17 Miller now gives it another go at Turn 5, and Rins has no answer this time. Vinales has overtaken Espargaro for 10th.

16:16 Miller pounces on Rins for third with two laps to go - but Rins fights back!

16:16 Nakagami is through on Espargaro, but the KTM man is still surviving within the top 10.

16:13 Nakagami and Vinales are now all over Espargaro, who is hanging on for dear life in ninth place.

16:12 Dovizioso has stopped the bleeding for now, the gap to Marquez stabilising at 2.5 seconds, and Rins and Miller being kept at bay. Four more laps.

16:10 Rins and Miller are now edging back towards Dovizioso, whose second place is potentially under threat. Further down the order, Vinales has overtaken Bagnaia for 11th.

16:08 Make it 2.2 seconds over Dovizioso for Marquez, who was nine tenths quicker last time around.

16:07 Nobody has anything for Marquez - he's now 1.6s clear of Dovizioso and counting. Barring some freak occurrence, it's game over.

16:06 Petrucci has made his way past Espargaro for eighth, but the Ducati man is still on course for his worst finish of the season.

16:05 Current order: 1 Marquez, 2 Dovizioso, 3 Rins, 4 Miller, 5 Crutchlow, 6 Rossi, 7 Quartararo, 8 P Espargaro, 9 Petrucci, 10 Nakagami, 11 Bagnaia, 12 Vinales, 13 Oliveira, 14 Bradl, 15 Zarco, 16 A Espargaro, 17 Rabat, 18 Iannone, 19 Abraham, 20 Guintoli.

16:05 Marquez is starting to make a break for it, now over three quarters of a second ahead - yet he's also had a big moment just now on the 12th lap.

16:02 The leading group is now seriously spreading out - Marquez is up to nearly half a second over Dovizioso, and Rins is dropping back from the Italian.

16:01 We're now past the halfway point in the race, and the status quo is being maintained out front - although Miller is starting to lose touch with the leading trio.

16:00 Quartararo finally finds a way past the impressive Espargaro, but now has two seconds to make up if he wants to take on Rossi.

15:59 Vinales is desperately looking for a way past Oliveira - and finally finds a way past, moving into 12th place. You'd expect him to break into the top 10 sooner or later - but his pace must surely be better than this.

15:57 The top four riders are split by one second, with another four seconds to Crutchlow. Marquez has led this whole time, but has not looked able to clear off into the distance.

15:55 Crutchlow sends it down the inside of Rossi at Turn 3, and is rewarded with fifth place.

15:54 Syahrin was running 15th ahead of Zarco, but has now crashed out.

15:54 Current order: 1 Marquez, 2 Dovizioso, 3 Rins, 4 Miller, 5 Rossi, 6 Crutchlow, 7 P Espargaro, 8 Quartararo, 9 Petrucci, 10 Nakagami, 11 Bagnaia, 12 Oliveira, 13 Vinales, 14 A Espargaro, 15 Zarco, 16 Bradl, 17 Iannone, 18 Rabat, 19 Abraham, 20 Guintoli.

15:53 Crutchlow is all over Rossi for fifth, but the Yamaha rider is holding firm - which is allowing Espargaro and Quartararo to potentially close in on their battle.

15:52 Marquez's breakaway is called off once again - Dovizioso and Rins are now right with him, with another 15 laps to go. The race is now entering a critical phase for tyre life.

15:51 Replays show Zarco taking out Morbidelli at Turn 4 on the opening lap, with Morbidelli's Yamaha then wiping out Mir.

15:50 The two Yamahas finally overtake the two KTMs, as Rossi steals fifth from Espargaro and Vinales picks up a lowly 14th from Zarco. Crutchlow then follows through on Espargaro.

15:48 Quartararo overtakes a struggling Petrucci, setting out afterCrutchlow - who himself has already reeled in Espargaro and Rossi.

15:47 Rossi is still searching for a way past Espargaro, while Vinales is stuck behind the 14th-placed Zarco. The only Yamaha making progress is Quartararo, who has picked off Nakagami for ninth place.

15:47 Marquez is starting to shake off Dovizioso once more, but you get the feeling Rins is about to become the bigger problem.

15:46 Rins - who "scared the sh*t out of" Miller earlier in the season with an overtake - does a much more conventional move on the Aussie to pick up third place at Turn 3.

15:44 The top four are breaking away, and Rossi looks like he'd very much like to join them, but he's being held up by Espargaro in fifth.
