2025 Czech Moto3 - Race Results

Moto3 got the first race day in Brno since 2020 underway with a race that belonged to Jose Antonio Rueda who lead every lap of round twelve, the Czech Grand Prix.

The Red Bull KTM Ajo rider started second and was ahead at the very first corner, initially with the pack behind looking for a way around, especially Maximo Quiles.

The championship leader ensured he stayed ahead and looked comfortable. That proved to be true when on lap eight he stretched away - immediately to a half a second advantage, which was at almost a second a lap later.

From there the Spaniard disappeared, pulling out a huge 3.471s gap at the chequered, sealing a dominant seventh win of the season.

Behind the battle for second raged with all the riders down to seventh in contention.

CFMoto Gaviota Aspar riders Dennis Foggia and Quiles spent much of the race battling for second, helping increase the gap. The podium places were far from assured with both Leopard bikes and Angel Piqueras in the mix, with David Munoz soon joining the party.

The Liqui Moly Dynavolt rider, who won last weekend at the Sachsenring, had qualified with front row pace but started from the back of the grid after his weaving and slowing in practice.

Munoz was rapid in moving forward, up to twelfth after just one lap, he soon moved into the lead group, where he sat around fifth for much of the remaining laps, waiting to make his move.

The last lap saw the Spaniard put in his podium challenge, a hard move on Piqueras saw him up the inside at up to third at the start of the last run around the track, after slight contact.

From there the #64 lined up his move out of the apex at the Schwantz corner to move to second, but a defensive line around the final corner at the wide track allowed Quiles, who had to be careful on a track limits warning, enough space to get the drive to the line to pass his way to second in a dramatic finish.

Second marks an impressive five podium finishes in just eight races for the rookie, with Munoz still making up a huge twenty places for back to back podium visits.

Valentin Perrone worked his way to the front of the chasing pack but could not quite bridge the gap to the rider ahead, leaving him eighth, ahead of Ryusei Yamanaka who spent much of his time leading the group in ninth on the second MT Helmets bike.

Guido Pini secured his first pole position in Moto3 on Saturday, but never really recovered from a tough move from teammate Munoz on his way to the front, which saw him fall from sixth to ninth, losing rhythm the Italian completed the top ten.

Taiyo Furusato started 18th and again went for a run through the pack but was only able to rise to eleventh after a slow start for Honda Team Asia.
