Marc Marquez extended his lead at the top of the MotoGP standings with a fifth Grand Prix win in a row at the Czech GP.

Marquez, 32, who also won the sprint race on Saturday, is now 120 points clear of his younger brother Alex, who was involved in a crash during the race.

Alex Marquez was handed a long lap penalty, which he will serve at the Austria GP after the summer break, for colliding with Joan Mir early on after the incident was reviewed post-race by stewards.

A long lap penalty requires a rider to take a longer designated route around the section of a track which adds a few seconds to their lap time.

Two-time champion Francesco Bagnaia took his first pole of the season for the race but dropped down to third in the first few laps with Marco Bezzecchi and Marc Marquez overtaking him.

Bezzecchi sustained the lead until the eighth lap when Marc Marquez made a shrewd move and did not give up first place for the rest of the 21-lap event. Bezzecchi finished second with Pedro Acosta third and Bagnaia fourth.
