Marquez soars in Brno

Honda’s MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez won the rain-affected Czech Grand Prix in Brno yesterday, his sixth victory of the season, and became only the fourth rider to achieve 50 premier-class victories. Marquez, who equalled Australian Mick Doohan’s record of 58 top-class pole positions on Saturday, finished ahead of Ducati’s Italian Andrea Dovizioso and Jack Miller of the non-works Pramac Ducati team. The other three riders to achieve at least 50 premier-class wins are Valentino Rossi (89), Giacomo Agostini (68) and Doohan (54). Spaniard Marquez now leads the MotoGP championship with 210 points, 63 ahead of second-placed Dovizioso (147) while Danilo Petrucci, who finished eighth in Brno, is third (129). Wet track conditions led to a delayed start after the entire field chose to run on slick tires.
