Most recent race
The nine-time world champion delivered a dominant performance at the Hungarian MotoGP on 7 June, claiming a thrilling victory.
It was his 100th career Grand Prix win — after a fierce duel with Pedro Acosta, as he led large portions of the race and cruised to the finish, signalling his return to top form.
MotoGP ambitions
Nicknamed "the Ant," Marquez now sits fifth in the 2026 MotoGP Riders' standings with 108 points, 72 points behind championship leader Marco Bezzecchi.
After a difficult start to the season and injury setbacks, the Spaniard is rapidly closing the gap and rebuilding his title defence.
Why Marquez could win the Czechia MotoGP
The 33-year-old remains one of the most talented riders on the grid, possessing proven race-winning speed and unmatched racecraft.
Marquez has a strong history at Brno having won the 2025 Czechia MotoGP and showed blistering pace in Hungary; another strong weekend could ignite his championship charge.
With his vast experience and renewed confidence, the Ant will be confident to secure back-to-back wins and remind everyone of his champion pedigree.
Quotes
“We did an incredible job. The secret, in my opinion, was managing the effort on Friday: this allowed me to get to Saturday, and especially today, in the best possible shape," Marquez said after winning the 2026 Hungarian MotoGP.
"Obviously, I gave it everything today and luckily the choice of the medium tyre paid off in the closing stages, otherwise it would have been a lot harder. Now we'll see how things go at Brno and Assen because, once again, things went better here due to the higher number of left-handers.
"This win came after a challenging period of surgeries and recovery, but it was worth it. As always, we need to stay positive and continue along this recovery path.”
