Marc Marquez has extended his lead in the 2019 MotoGP World Championship standings to 63 points after comfortably seeing off the challenge of both Andrea Dovizioso and Alex Rins at Brno.

Fresh from the Suzuka 8 Hours, Sylvain Guintoli will make his second MotoGP wild-card appearance of the season at Brno this weekend.

The #21 Yamaha Factory Racing Team has taken a surprise victory at the 2019 Suzuka 8 Hours after Jonathan Rea crashed out while leading inside the final minute of the race which triggered a red flag finish.

The top 10 qualifying shootout for the Suzuka 8 Hours has been cancelled due to heavy rain which sees defending champions #21 Yamaha Factory Racing Team handed pole position on provisional times.

After just eight points from his opening five MotoGP races, all from an eighth place in Qatar, Joan Mir heads for the summer break having pulled in 31 points from the past four rounds.

Alex Rins held up his hands, admitting a small mistake led to his dramatic departure from the German Grand Prix, and has focussed his attention on securing more race wins and second in the MotoGP championship in the season’s second half.

Alex Rins says he felt instantly on the pace on Friday practice at the German MotoGP while he was shocked by the tyre combination which guided him to second place on the FP2 timesheet for Suzuki.

Andrea Dovizioso is bracing for another tough track for Ducati at this weekend’s German MotoGP as he sees Sachsenring as a circuit which suits both chief title rival Marc Marquez plus the Yamaha and Suzuki riders.

Having seen a victory chance slip away when he fell from the early race lead at Assen, Alex Rins will only have a few days to dwell on the accident before getting back on track in Germany.

Marc Marquez might be leaving Assen with the runner-up trophy tucked under his arm, but it is very much mission accomplished by the reigning MotoGP world champion as he makes the 2019 crown look a definite fit.

The Ducati and Suzuki are two of the most contrasting machines on the MotoGP grid. While the Desmosedici is famed for its stop-and-go performance, the Italian factory has long battled with turning difficulties.

Ducati may have a holeshot device, but it was the Suzukis of Alex Rins and Joan Mir that bolted to first and second at turn one of the Dutch MotoGP. And when Rins fell on lap three, his rookie team-mate took the lead of a MotoGP race for the very first time.

Alex Rins is convinced he had the pace to battle Maverick Vinales for victory in Sunday's Dutch MotoGP round. But the Suzuki rider will never know after crashing out of the lead on lap 3.

Alex Rins believes he’s solved his qualifying problems on the Suzuki as he secures just his second front row start in MotoGP with third place at Assen.

Alex Rins believes Assen remains a strong track for both his Suzuki squad and its Yamaha rivals due to the circuit characteristics as he revisits a track which provided him with a breakthrough race 12 months ago.

Runner-up in last year's Assen race, Alex Rins returns to the Netherlands holding third in the world championship with five more podiums under his belt, including a debut MotoGP victory.

Alex Rins looks set to try a new Suzuki chassis during the Dutch MotoGP, after a promising test in Catalunya last week.

Joan Mir feels he is now ‘in the correct way’ after concluding a breakthrough MotoGP weekend at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with a quick showing in testing.

Marc Marquez has taken a potentially critical step towards the 2019 MotoGP World Championship with a dominant victory in the Catalunya MotoGP after a sensational error by his team-mate Jorge Lorenzo wiped out key rivals Andrea Dovizioso, Valentino Rossi and Maverick Vinales.

Alex Rins struggled to hide his frustration at a late crash that abruptly ended his qualifying efforts at the Circuit of Barcelona and forced him to start Sunday’s MotoGP race from eighth place.
