With this win, the Turkish rider solidifies his lead in the championship and increases the gap to his main rival, Nicolo Bulega.
Dominant Performance
Razgatlioglu, who has already made a mark in previous seasons, demonstrated his track dominance once again. Starting from pole position, the BMW rider maintained the lead throughout the 22-lap race and crossed the finish line with a comfortable 5.7-second advantage over second-placed Danilo Petrucci. Ducati’s Andrea Iannone completed the podium, delivering another positive result for Italian riders.
Defending champion Alvaro Bautista made a notable comeback, moving from 10th on the grid to finish the race in 4th place. Remy Gardner and Nicolo Bulega rounded out the top six, with Bulega remaining as Razgatlioglu’s main rival in the title fight.
Winning Streak
Razgatlioglu’s victory in the Czech Republic continues an impressive streak that began with his final win at Assen in April, followed by double victories in the Italian and British rounds. With this win, Razgatlioglu has achieved his 10th victory with BMW since his switch from Pata Yamaha at the end of last season. This streak highlights the consistency and superiority of the Turkish rider this season.

After the Most race, Razgatlioglu leads the championship with 266 points. Nicolo Bulega holds the second position with 210 points, while Alvaro Bautista is in third with 199 points. Alex Lowes, who crashed while in 7th place, is fourth with 165 points. Jonathan Rea, a six-time world champion, finished 10th and is currently 11th in the championship standings.
