How to watch Czech Republic Moto GP race from anywhere

The 2020 MotoGP season continues and this weekend the teams and riders will be traveling to Central Europe where they’ll be competing in the Czech Republic Grand Prix and we have all the details on how you can watch the race on TV or online.

MotoGP began its 2020 season with back to back races at the Circuito de Jerez in Spain and since two Grand Prix can’t have the same name, the first race was called the Gran Premio Red Bull de España while the second race was the Andalusia Grand Prix. Just as he did at the first grand Prix held in Jerez, Petronas Yamaha SRT’s Fabio Quartararo also came in first at the Andalusia Grand Prix with a time of 41 minutes and 22 seconds, cutting down his finish time at the Gran Premio Red Bull de España by one second. In both races, Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP’s Maverick Viñales was right behind Quartararo in second place.

The biggest story by far this season in the world of MotoGP is how eight-time world champion Marc Márquez suffered a broken arm at the Gran Premio Red Bull de España. While Márquez underwent surgery and was cleared to participate in the Andalusia Grand Prix, he ended up pulling out of the race’s qualifying due to a lack of strength in his broken right arm. Márquez has undergone a second surgery on his arm and unfortunately, he will be sitting out the Czech Republic Grand Prix this weekend.

The Czech Republic Grand Prix will be held at Brno Circuit which has 14 turns, a circuit length of 3.357 miles and the race will consist of just 21 laps due to the course’s longer length. MotoGP events have been held in Brno since 1930 and up until 1982, drivers would race through the villages and western parts of the city on a track named after the first president of the Czech Republic T.G. Masaryk. The Brno Circuit opened in 1987 and Dani Pedrosa currently holds the official record for best lap time on the course at one minute and fifty six seconds while driving a Honda motorcycle. While he won’t be participating in Sunday’s race, Márquez holds the unofficial best lap time at one minute and fifty four seconds.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of MotoGP or just started watching during the start of the 2020 season, we’ll show you exactly how to watch the 2020 Czech Republic Grand Prix from anywhere in the world.
