Ortolá wins in Moto2™ on soft compounds, Danish in Moto3™ on mediums

· Ortolá is back at the podium's top. Iván Ortolá (Kalex) won the Moto2™ race at the 2026 Grand Prix of Czechia after a fine overtake shortly before the chequered flag on poleman David Alonso (Kalex), who finished second after leading the race throughout until that point. The local hero, Czech rider Filip Salač (Kalex), secured the third place. The riders' tyre choice was almost unanimous: all opted for the soft SC1 front and soft SC0 rear combo, save for José Antonio Rueda (Kalex), who was the only rider to fit the medium D0922 at the back, finishing tenth.

· Danish's first win. While the entire Moto2™ grid opted for soft compounds, in Moto3™ the riders chose medium SC2 compound tyres on both axles, except for Nicola Carraro (Honda), who used soft SC1 at the front. Malaysian rider Hakim Danish (KTM) claimed his first victory in this class after an excellent comeback from 14^th on the grid, finishing ahead of Brian Uriarte and World Championship leader Máximo Quiles, both also on KTM. The 16-lap race took place with asphalt temperatures of 47 °C and air temperatures of 29 °C.

· Extremely fast races with new lap records . The Moto2™ race was completed in 35'53.143, over 10 seconds faster than last year's. The race pace improved by almost six tenths per lap. Czech rider Filip Salač (Kalex) set the new race lap record on lap six with 1'58.590, almost nine tenths faster than the previous race record lap set in 2025 by Joe Roberts (1'59.468). The Moto3™ race, completed in 33'34.264, was 6.4 seconds faster than last year's race, with an average improvement of four tenths per lap. Veda Pratama (Honda) set the new race fastest lap in 2'04.524, improving the previous record (2'05.454) by 930 thousandths. Pratama's time was also almost half a second faster than the old all-time lap record set by Guido Pini last year in 2'05.019.
