MotoGP Czech GP: How to watch
It saw the factory Ducati duo of Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia hampered with tyre pressure problems, though the Spaniard ultimately won the contest.
Marc continues to lead the standings with 356 points, while younger brother Alex Marquez sits in second with a tally of 261. Bagnaia completes the top three with 200 points.
Bagnaia starts the grand prix from pole and will be hoping to not have the electronic woes that plagued his challenge in the sprint race.
However, Marc starts alongside in second and his pace in the sprint was undeniable. Like Bagnaia, he also had tyre pressure problems but for different reasons, so the Ducati duo will be hoping to eradicate any such worries in today's main race.
It's worth keeping an eye on the KTMs too, as both Pedro Acosta and Enea Bastianini showed impressive speed on their way to second and third place in the sprint race.

'History again' - Bonmati celebrates as Spain set up Euro final against England
Spain star Aitana Bonmati said her team planned to take some time to celebrate reaching their first ever European Championship final following Wednesday's extra-time win over Germany, before quickly turning their thoughts to another title decider against England. "We have made history again, beating Germany for the first time and reaching a Euro final which we had never done before," a smiling Bonmati remarked after her extra-time strike secured a 1-0 victory in Zurich in the semi-final clash. "We feel proud to be part of this generation of players that is achieving so much, but this is not over yet," added the reigning Ballon d'Or winner before the Spain squad headed back to their training base in Lausanne, on the shores of Lake Geneva. "They are already tearing things up in the dressing room and there won't be much silence on the bus journey back to Lausanne. "We will enjoy this but tomorrow we need to start thinking about England." The game on Sunday in Basel against the reigning European champions will be a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final, when Olga Carmona scored the only goal to hand Spain the title. England will have had an extra 24 hours to prepare for the match after beating Italy in their semi-final on Tuesday, although they needed extra time to win that match having been taken all the way to penalties against Sweden in the quarter-finals. "I know they played twice 120 minutes but we knew today could be a long match and it was," Bonmati said, in English. She knows that England's substitutes -- notably Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang -- have had a major impact in each of their knockout ties en route to the final, but insists Spain can trust in their own squad. "We believe in our players, the 11 starters, but we also have a lot of players on the bench who can do better in the second half or in extra time. We have a big squad and we trust all of them," she said. "England have a lot of players that we have faced a lot of times -- we know them and they know us so we have to prepare the best way we can to win." as/rcw

Japan trade deal sparks hope for US investors, frustration for automakers
By Nora Eckert and David Shepardson DETROIT (Reuters) -Shares of General Motors, Ford Motor, and Jeep-maker Stellantis, some of the biggest automakers in the U.S., rallied on Wednesday after news of a trade deal that will reduce tariffs on imported Japanese cars, as investors saw it as a sign of more deals to come. Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! Great Rates and Award-Winning Service The Insurance Savings You Expect Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You But the companies are not celebrating. Automakers importing vehicles into the U.S. from Japan now face a 15% levy, according to terms of the deal outlined on Tuesday by U.S. President Donald Trump, down from 27.5%. GM shares rallied 9% and Stellantis rose 12%, as market watchers said they anticipated further agreements could reduce other trade barriers that have hurt the companies' profits. Ford shares rose about 2%. The automaker is less exposed to tariffs because it produces more of its U.S.-sold vehicles domestically. On Wednesday, the European Union and United States were nearing a trade deal that would also set a 15% tariff on European imports. GM, Ford and Stellantis have been paying up to 25% on vehicles imported from Mexico or Canada, depending on how much U.S. content is in the vehicles. The companies are concerned they could soon be paying higher tariffs on vehicles assembled in Mexico or Canada than on vehicles with significantly less U.S. content made in Japan or the United Kingdom. Some lobbyists also expressed alarm that if South Korea strikes a similar deal with the U.S., it could become a low-cost market to assemble cars and trucks. "They could be the new Mexico," one lobbyist told Reuters. The American Automotive Policy Council, which represents the Detroit Three, criticized the deal, saying it creates an easier path for Japanese imports than for some cars built in North America. Even before Tuesday's deal, Detroit automotive executives raised concerns that Trump's trade policy could end up giving an edge to foreign automakers who do not invest as heavily in U.S. manufacturing. "This is a bonanza for our import competitors," Ford CEO Jim Farley said in February, when Trump initially proposed levies on Mexico and Canada, but not on major automotive centers such as South Korea. The Japan trade announcement came the same day General Motors said tariff costs knocked $1.1 billion from its bottom line, hurt by a battery of levies including 25% taxes on imports from Canada and Mexico, and 50% on steel and aluminum imports. Industry consultant and former GM executive Warren Browne said the Japan deal "put all vehicles produced in Mexico and Canada by the Detroit Three at a disadvantage' because they face higher levies than Toyota vehicles shipped in from Japan, for example. That could allow the foreign brands to undercut U.S. car companies on price. Toyota, Subaru and Mazda are among the most reliant companies on Japan-produced vehicles for their U.S. sales, and stand to benefit most from the lower tariffs, according to business-analytics firm GlobalData. Toyota imported roughly 500,000 vehicles from Japan last year. Japanese automotive stocks soared after the trade deal announcement. Autos Drive America, which represents those Japanese automakers along with other foreign car companies operating in the United States, on Wednesday praised the trade deal, saying it would lead to further factory investment in the U.S. The deal is good news for Wade Kawasaki, executive chairman of the Wheel Group, a collection of aftermarket wheel, tire and accessory companies based in California. Kawasaki said the group has been trying to break into some aspects of the Japanese market, and the lessening levies will help with that. 'There is a certain group of customers who want American-made products. Those are the ones we were going to get,' he said.
