Little rest this time the two wheels have left us. If a few days ago we were in Indianapolis now we return to Europe to enjoy the Grand Prix of the Czech Republic. With this race the eleventh of the MotoGP World Championship so, once Brno has passed, there will only be seven more tests left.

The appointment of the Czech Republic is one of the classics of the championship, since the first event was in 1937 Although, yes, the Brno circuit was not built until the the 80's. Yes, someone can already feel old with that information.

Moto3: Jack Miller grows dwarfs

If at the beginning of the season it seemed that Jack Miller It was unbeatable now there is nothing further from the truth. The australian will have to put the batteries again if he wants his position in the championship not to be jeopardized. Now he is still the leader, with 158 points, but he has closer and closer to his main rivals. The one with Red Bull KTM Garlic managed to take pole in Indianapolis, but he was not able to put up much war in the race so he was in the bottom drawer of the podium.

The one who is in luck is Efren Vazquez that after the holidays, including wedding, got his first victory in Indianapolis and thus show that this year is being more regular. With those twenty-five points he was also able to place himself in second position in the general classification, relegating to Alex Marquez to the third place. The Catalan did not have his best weekend in North America but he does not lose hope for Brno. Of course, we cannot forget about other drivers who are always fighting for the first places with Romano Fenati, Álex Rins or Isaac Viñales.

Moto2: say Marc VDS Racing or say cat and mouse

Or that's what they seem to play Tito Rabat and Mika Kallio. When it seemed that the Spanish was more intractable, the Finn appeared to try to hunt him down, as happened in the last Indianapolis Grand Prix, in which the victory went to Kallio. Tito's teammate is one of the few who has managed to snatch the victory, which this year is selling quite expensive in the category. Rabat for its part, since it knows that in the face of the title Can't afford situations like last weekend in which he ended up out of the podium positions in favor of his partner, Maverick Viñales and Dominique Aegerter.

In the case of the pilot of Yellow Pages HP 40 It seems that every time he is getting a better taste of the category. With his more than possible jump to MotoGP next year there is no doubt that he is making the most of this season and learning of everything and everyone. Before the year began, people saw an internal fight in the Pons team between Mack and Luis Salom but, at least for the moment, there is no doubt that Rosas has taken it.

For its part, as we have already mentioned before, it is Dominique Aegerter. The Swiss seems to be signing quite discreet results, not like his fluorine yellow in jumpsuit and frames last weekend, but it goes fourth in the general classification and there is no doubt that he will keep trying to get on the podium as many times as he can.

MotoGP: or the category of Marc Márquez

Because I think they are already thinking of changing the name. Of course, meanwhile the Repsol Honda rider continues to break records. If already in the race Indianapolis achieved the tenth consecutive victory, as did Giacomo Agostini, now in Brno he is going for the eleventh and thus he can have his name in some corner of the history of motorcycling, both in Spain and in the world. Marc is obviously the leader of the category, having added 25 points from each race, so we can say little else about him.

Those who are going to try to spoil the party a bit are the pilots of the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP they were able to stand up to him for much of last week's race. Despite his age Valentino rossi he continues to enjoy on the bike and that is one of the pluses he has to fight like a real boar. For his part Jorge Lorenzo He seems to be getting, perhaps a little late, the trick to his mount this year and he is becoming stronger in the race. Something that we all appreciate in the face of fun from the couch.

What we don't know is what happened to Dani pedrosa last weekend, but we hope this is one hundred percent back and we can see him again fighting for victory as he had been doing all season. Marc Márquez's teammate sure wants to heal his wounds with a good result this week.

By the way, this will be the first MotoGP race in which he will no longer be Colin edwards, until now Aleix Espargaró's partner, in the NGM Forward Racing. The American has decided to retire at age 40 and therefore will have a substitute for this career from the Czech Republic. The chosen one has been Alex de Angelis.
