Toprak Razgatlıoğlu finished 11th in the sprint round of the MotoGP Czech Republic Grand Prix, held today (June 20, 2026) in Brno. The Turkish rider, who won the WSBK championship last season with a BMW M 1000RR before switching to MotoGP, had a disappointing result in the Czech sprint, going off the track.
Sprint result and race process
In the sprint race held at the Brno Circuit, Razgatlıoğlu finished 11th, far from the front, a position that did not translate into points. Since points in MotoGP sprint races are only awarded to the top nine riders, the Turkish pilot left the race empty-handed. Ogura had taken the lead in Friday's training sessions in Brno.; The sprint race also continued to be one of the most critical performance indicators of the weekend.

Preparing for Sunday's race
Razgatlıoğlu's main goal, regardless of sprint results, is the Grand Prix race tomorrow (June 21, 2026). Razgatlıoğlu aims to make history in the GP at Brno. While it remains relevant, the 11th place finish in the sprint round necessitates a different strategy for the market. Deniz Öncü, another Turkish rider who competed in MotoGP this weekend in the Czech Republic, races in the Moto2 category; Öncü finished the Moto2 qualifying session in 22nd place..
