Andrew McLarney is a MotoGP reporter for GPBlog. With four years experience as a professional writer across the sports and video game industries, his experience as a K1 Premier League competitor evolved into a fascination with all forms of combat sport and eventually motorsport — with MotoGP becoming his primary focus. On top of that he is also an avid follower of MXGP and AMA Supercross as well as F1 and GT racing.
The prestigious Brno circuit in the Czech Republic is widely considered a favourite among fans and racers alike. Last year gave us a thrilling duel between Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta, which many fans will be hoping to see once again.
The track has a bit of everything with long sweeping corners, tight chicanes, plenty of elevation change and three different straights to get the power down early. The picturesque track is situated right in the middle of a forest and has a classic old-school feel to it.
It's not just the premier class that will be of interest this weekend. Moto2's Filip Salac will be representing the host nation as he looks to become the first Czech rider since Karel Abraham to make it into MotoGP.
Elsewhere, Aprilia riders Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin will be looking to bounce back after this disastrous opening lap incident in Hungary. The pair still lead the championship standings by a healthy margin, for now.
