2026 MOTOGP: All you need to know
Few circuits in MotoGP evoke as much nostalgia and raw racing purity as Brno Automotodrom.
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Czech Republic, the Czech MotoGP is more than just another stop on the calendar — it’s a living link between the sport’s past and present, a venue where history, speed, and spectacle converge.
After a brief absence from the world championship, the race’s return in 2025 reaffirmed what riders, teams, and fans have long known: Brno remains indispensable to MotoGP’s identity.

MORE THAN JUST A RACE
The Czech MotoGP is not the flashiest event on the calendar, nor the most commercially dominant. But that is precisely its strength.
It is a race that endures because it stays true to what matters; a demanding, honest circuit, a deep-rooted history and fans who live and breathe the sport.
THE ANATOMY OF A RIDER’S CIRCUIT
At 5.403 km with 14 corners, Brno is a track that rewards rhythm, precision, and bravery.
But statistics alone don’t capture its essence.
What defines Brno is its flow. The circuit undulates through forested hills, rising and falling with natural elevation changes of over 70 metres, creating blind crests, plunging descents, and sweeping corners that challenge even the elite.
It is a place where momentum is everything — where a rider must balance aggression with finesse, knowing that one mistake can unravel an entire lap.
