MotoGP title leader Marco Bezzecchi has been suspended from the 2026 Czech Grand Prix. The incident occurred during the Brno MotoGP Sprint when marshals were recovering Bezzecchi's fallen Aprilia from the gravel trap.
Bezzecchi rushed over, fearing damage to the engine, and pushed and struck the marshals who were trying to recover his machine. The FIM MotoGP Stewards imposed the suspension, citing an action prejudicial to the interests of the sport.
The suspension gives Bezzecchi's teammate Jorge Martin a chance to retake the world championship lead on Sunday. Martin inherited Bezzecchi's fifth place and gained five points, reducing the deficit to 15 points.
