´` August 17th HJC Helmets Grand Prix Ceské Republiky #11 Automotodrom Brno

History of Grand Prix racing at Brno his year’s Czech Grand Prix will be the 47th to be held at Brno. Below is a brief history of grand prix racing at this Tfamous venue:

The only venue that has hosted more grand prix events than Brno is Assen in The Netherlands, which has hosted the Dutch TT in each of the 68 years of the motorcycling world championship. The first Czechoslovakian Grand Prix was held at Brno in 1965. The 500cc race, held over thirteen laps of the original 13.94 km long road circuit, was won by (MV Agusta) in a time of 1hr 11 min 23.2 sec. The circuit was shortened to 10.92 km in 1975 in an effort to improve safety. The last premier-class race held on the road circuit at Brno was in 1977 and was won by riding a Yamaha. The circuit was subsequently considered too dangerous for the large capacity machines. The smaller capacity machines continued to compete in grand prix races on the Brno road circuit until 1982 before it was removed from the grand prix calendar for safety reasons. The current circuit was first used for grand prix racing in 1987 and hosted the Czechoslovakian GP through until 1991. Brno did not appear on the calendar for 1992, but the event was revived in 1993 as the Grand Prix of the and has taken place every year since. This will be the 29th time that the current circuit has hosted a grand prix event, during which time the circuit has remained virtually unchanged; minor modifications were made to the circuit in 1996 which extended the length from 5.394 km to the current 5.403 km. Since the introduction of the four-stroke MotoGP™ class in 2002, both Honda and Yamaha have had six victories at Brno, and Ducati two. Jorge Lorenzo’s win last year at Brno was the first win at the circuit for Yamaha since his victory there in 2010. There has only been one podium finish by a Czech rider at the current Brno circuit across all classes - Lukas Pesek’s third place in the 125cc race in 2007 riding a . The two riders with most grand prix wins at the current Brno circuit, each with seven wins, are (4 x 250cc, 2 x 500cc, 1 x MotoGP) and Valentino Rossi (1x 125cc, 1 x 250cc, 1 x 500cc, 4 x MotoGP). The Czech Grand Prix last year was the only GP event in 2015 where all three riders starting from pole position went on to win the race.

Historic MotoGPTM race in Austria The first visit to Austria for nineteen years produced a historic MotoGP™ race that was one for the record books: This was the first race win for Andrea Iannone since he moved up to the MotoGP class in 2013. It was the first victory for Ducati since Casey Stoner won the Australian GP in 2010. It was the first time that Ducati have finished one-two in a MotoGP race since the Australian GP in 2007, won by Casey Stoner from . Iannone’s victory was the first ever win for Ducati in Austria in any of the grand prix classes. Iannone is just the fourth rider to win in MotoGP riding a Ducati, joining: Casey Stoner (23 wins on Ducati), Loris Capirossi (7) and (1). He is only the second rider, along with Marc Marquez, to win in the MotoGP class having previously won in the Moto2 class. At the age of 27 years 5 days he is the oldest rider to take his maiden win in the MotoGP class since Troy Bayliss at the final race of 2006 in Valencia. Iannone was making his 61st start in the MotoGP class in Austria; this is the highest number of premier-class starts for a rider taking his first win since won the 500cc race in Valencia in 2001 when making his 72nd grand prix start riding a 500cc machine. It is the first time that an Italian rider other than Valentino Rossi has won in the MotoGP class since Andrea Dovizioso won the British Grand Prix at in 2009. Iannone is the first Italian rider to win in the MotoGP class for an Italian manufacturer since Loris Capirossi won at Motegi in 2007. Together with Jack Miller’s victory at the Dutch TT, there have been two first time winners in the MotoGP class in 2016. The last year in which there were two first time winners in a single season was in 2007 with Casey Stoner and . There have been five different winners already in 2016 and with eight races of the season still to come it is already the greatest number of different winners in a single season in the MotoGP class since 2009. The last five races in the MotoGP class have been won by five different riders. The last time that there has been a sequence of five or more races won by different riders was at the end of 2006 and the first race of 2007, when there was a sequence of six races won by different riders: Valentino Rossi, , Loris Capirossi, Toni Elias, Troy Bayliss and Casey Stoner. The win by Andrea Iannone was the 100th podium finish for Ducati in the MotoGP class, closely followed by Andrea Dovizioso giving Ducati their 101st MotoGP podium. This was only the second victory for Ducati using tyres - the other was Ducati’s very first win at the Catalan Grand Prix in 2003 with Loris Capirossi. At the Austrian GP, Italian riders took the top two places in a MotoGP race for the first time since the British Grand Prix last year at Silverstone, won by Valenti- no Rossi from Danilo Petrucci. The Austrian race was the first time that Italian riders have taken the top two places in a premier-class GP both riding Italian bikes since the Finnish 500cc GP at Imatra in 1972, won by on an MV Agusta from team-mate Alberto Pagani.
