He declared:
“The Czech GP is one of the highlights of the Championship as it’s been on the calendar for 50 years and as we see this weekend again, it’s a very popular event.

Brno has always been an historic race in the calendar. The first race back in 1965 on the original 14 km layout was celebrated as the Czechoslovakian GP until 1987 when they came to the current Brno track. After the separation of Czech Republic and Slovakia, the race wasn’t at the 1992 calendar but revived again on 1993 as the Grand Prix of Czech Republic which it has taken place every year since.
We remember to you that today’s winner was Jorge Lorenzo, alongside Márquez and Rossi in the podium.
