MotoGP’s most exciting weekend of the season, the Brno Grand Prix, ended unexpectedly for Spanish rider Alex Márquez. The championship frontrunner withdrew from participation in the race, a surprise that caused astonishment throughout the team Ducati and paddock.
Developments Prior to the Race
Spanish Ducati pilot Alex Márquez decided to withdraw due to being physically unable to compete fully in Brno. The Spanish driver will not be able to complete the Czech Grand Prix, focusing on his recovery process. This decision was a major surprise for the paddock, closely followed throughout the weekend.
Alex Márquez announced his withdrawal after the qualifying sessions on Friday. In the first two practice sessions, it was observed that the physical workload exceeded expectations.

With his impressive lap times of 15th place, Márquez was 0.821 seconds behind the leader. He added that he didn’t feel bad about the motorcycle, but it was closer than anticipated.
Return Following Barcelona Stress Test
29-year-old Alex Márquez had made an encouraging start after returning to the track approximately one month after the heavy crash at the Barcelona Grand Prix. The pilot, performing well according to the conditions, failed to eliminate himself from Q1. His 14th starting position will be passed on to another driver after the withdrawal. Márquez considered this process a stress test. He stated that he was confident he could reach 100% level after vacation and that his body needed time.
