One of the best domestic motorcycle riders of the recent past, Lukáš Pešek, no longer expects the World Championship to take place in the Czech Republic next year or in the near future. Representatives of Brno decided on Tuesday that next year the Grand Prix will not take place on the Masaryk Circuit. Even though the promoter of the championship and the association that organizes the race have not yet announced the official decision, Pešek considers it a done deal.

“Personally, I take it that it will be like that and nothing will change. It has gotten where it has gotten. It has been coming to the end of motorcycles in Brno for a long time, money and other things are still being solved. Bad asphalt is only as a result of the situation, how to end it all, “Pešek told ČTK.
One of the main reasons why the world championship should leave the Masaryk Circuit is the poor surface quality. The organizing association undertook in the contract with the promoter to repair it, but currently does not have enough funds for it. “If I take it from Dorna’s point of view and every year there will be talk in the Czech Republic about whether or not the Grand Prix will be expensive, then it’s probably not a positive advertisement either,” said the 35-year-old racer.
End. There will be no Grand Prix in Brno next year
Pešek reckons that the championship will never return to Brno. “It can’t come back here anymore. Several people have been waiting for this and it can’t be returned. I don’t think the Brno Grand Prix is so huge for Dorn that she would need to come back here. Today she has around Sachsenring, Austria, maybe until the future will be Hungary, “said the participant in 136 World Championship races.
Brno? Always a slightly different weekend
The native of Prague managed to win the podium nine times in the World Cup, in 2007 he was third in Brno. He always liked to ride on the Masaryk Circuit. “Speaking for myself, it was always a slightly different weekend that I enjoyed. There were a lot of fans, there was more pressure and more media attention. It was also important for our partners to go on a trip with us. Therefore, it will be for Czech boys are a disadvantage, on the other hand, it is a world championship.
The World Championships took place in Brno for the first time in 1965. A total of 55 Grand Prix events took place here.
