Czech

The Czech Republic is still all things to all people. From the pulsing capital Prague to the back-in-time villages of Moravia, from toiling up mountains to lounging in spas, from the world-famous Pilsner to the strains of Smetana and Dvorák, there's an experience to suit every taste.

The Czech GP was originally run on a road circuit until 1982 when it was thought too dangerous and withdrawn from the calendar. Since the new circuit was opened in 1982, the Brno GP has become a favourite amongst riders thanks to the undulations and variety of corners. Max Biaggi and Valentino Rossi share the spoils at Brno with the most number of wins - three apiece.
