At Round 9 of the 2026 MotoGP season, the Czech GP at Brno, Ducati Lenovo's Marc Marquez won to extend his winning streak. Ai Ogura finished a mere 0.421 seconds behind in 2nd, a new career best, with Francesco Bagnaia completing the podium in 3rd.
What Márquez showed at Brno was a ride calculated down to the last detail, corner entry through exit. But what gave me chills was Ogura. Closing to within 0.421 seconds and still saying 'I found a weakness' — that hunger is exactly the face of a man fighting at the top.

Does 'winning streak' mean Marquez won the previous race too?
Bagnaia 3rd, so we're at the point where even on a Ducati he gets outpaced by Ogura.
Factoring in the machine gap, it's really about just how impressive Ogura's 2nd place is.
That last 0.4 seconds is brutally far though, what's missing to actually seal the win.
Just closing the gap to the top is already a good season by this year's standard.
A 0.4-second gap, huh. Closing it this much against Marquez is genuinely impressive.
Ai Ogura, 2nd at 0.421 seconds back! Congrats on a new personal best.
