2025 Czech MotoGP: Friday Practice As It Happened
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.

Problems already
An Aprilia was quickly spotted in the gravel.
Thankfully it wasn't Jorge Martin!
It was teammate Marco Bezzecchi who was unhurt.

Conditions
There's a new track surface in Brno this year compared to 2020. It was a major part of why Brno has been able to return to the calendar.
In pre-event testing here, lap times were significantly under the existing lap record, but it seems doubtful that will be the case this morning in FP1 with a wet track to kick off proceedings after rain this morning.
