BRNO, Czech Republic -- Defending MotoGP champion Marc Marquez won the Czech Grand Prix on Sunday to increase his overall lead with a third victory of the season.
Starting on a wet track that was quickly drying out, riders were allowed to swap their bikes for ones with tires suitable for dry conditions.
Marquez was the first to do so, a strategy that paid off with his second straight victory.
Starting from the pole, Marquez had the best start but was overtaken by Jorge Lorenzo on the opening lap and then dropped further down the field.
