2025 Czech MotoGP: Friday Practice LIVE UPDATES
Live coverage of the Practice session from the Czech MotoGP at Brno.
The 12th round of the 2025 MotoGP World Championship brings the series back to Brno for the Czech Grand Prix.
MotoGP hasn't been in the Czech Republic since 2020, and the track has been resurfaced for this year's event.
Brad Binder is the most recent winner in Brno, but Marc Marquez is the in-form rider heading into the weekend with eight wins from his last eight starts and an 83-point championship lead over Alex Marquez.
It was Marquez who topped FP1 this morning on a drying track, finishing 0.615 seconds ahead of Jack Miller and with a time within a hundredth of his own pole position record from 2019.

Marquez up to second briefly with his latest lap but replaced by Quartararo there.
Now Martin to the top. Super-impressive from the reigning champion, down to a 2:07.081 now.
14:30
Into the 2:07s now thanks to Bezzecchi on an 07.689.
14:29
Times scrolling early on here as the riders figure out the conditions and, perhaps more pertinently, this new surface in these conditions.
Mir now fastest on a 2:08.332.
14:25
First laps coming in now and it's Bezzecchi who sets the early benchmark at a 2:10.954.
14:20
Practice underway
Practice has started in Brno. Still very much wet out there.
14:15
New schedule
Pit lane now set to open in around five minutes at 15:20 local time.
14:12
Still no updates on a schedule for Practice.
14:02

13:57
Session delayed
Session has been delayed due to weather conditions.
13:54
Marc Marquez
Marc Marquez comes into this weekend with an 83-point championship lead over Alex Marquez and having gone unbeaten in the last four grand prix weekends.
He was also fastest this morning by 0.615s over Jack Miller, and the only rider in the 1:54s.
Looking at conditions now, it seems unlikely the times from this morning will be beaten this afternoon, but whatever the case, the times from this afternoon's session will determine Q1/Q2 seeding for Saturday's qualifying session.
13:48

Chequered flag
Marc Marquez fastest in FP1 and into the 1:54s with his final lap - a 1:54.606 puts him 0.615s clear of the field.

10:29
Miller now fastest on a 1:55.221. Marquez on another lap but not improving.
10:29
Looks like that 55.0 has been cancelled for Marquez. He's back to his 55.324 but still 0.666s clear of Marini.
10:28
Marquez improving again. He has Bagnaia in front of him and the time he is taking out of him is visible and per-corner. Quite striking.
He goes another 0.3s faster on that latest lap and down to a 1:55.0 as Marini goes second for Honda.
10:27
Now Marc Marquez to the top on a 1:55.324. That's within a second of the all-time lap record and a second clear of the field.
