BRNO, Czech Republic - Honda's Marc Marquez led a Spanish podium sweep at the Czech Grand Prix on Sunday to extend his MotoGP world championship lead with a second straight win.
Dani Pedrosa was second almost 13 seconds back ahead of Maverick Vinales in third and nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi in fourth.
"I could have gone faster but there was no need to do so, I had it won and I'm not taking those risks anymore," said three-time world champion Marquez, who was not so cautious in his celebrations - standing on his bike as he rode past the main stand to an ovation.
