PRAGUE: Spanish rookie Marc Marquez will seek to extend his three-race winning streak and widen his lead of the MotoGP standings when the world championships continue with the Czech Grand Prix in Brno on Sunday.
The 20-year-old Spaniard leads the MotoGP pack after 10 of 18 races with 188 points.
With his impressive win at Indianapolis on Sunday, Marquez became the first rookie to win three consecutive premier-class races since American Kenny Roberts in 1978.
In that same year, Roberts also won the championships as a rookie -- a feat unrivalled to the present day, and a challenge for the red-hot Marquez.
“Now we go back to Europe and we will try to continue in the same way,” Marquez told motogp.com after winning the Indy title on Sunday. AFP
