## Resource

Marc Marquez’s (sooner-than-expected) return to MotoGP’s title fight was confirmed with his second successive victory at the Czech Grand Prix and another wild weekend for Aprilia’s title chasers. From Brno, Valentin Khorounzhiy and Simon Patterson unpack a weekend filled with drama on and off the track. They explain what’s let Marquez back into the title fight, Ai Ogura’s best weekend yet, Jorge Martin’s lack of pace, and discuss Marco Bezzecchi’s race ban for striking a marshal. As always, they take plenty of questions from The Race Members’ Club throughout, including whether Bezzecchi’s punishment was harsh enough.
