Andrea Iannone ended his longest Moto2 win drought in style 𒆙with a thrilling victory at Brno in the Czech Republic on Sunday.

The Italian, winless since round two at Jerez, was the first of four riders to cross the line within꧙ one-second after 20 laps of constant overtaking at the front.

Fifth on lap one, the Speed Master Suter rider joined Stefan Bradꦏl, Marc Marquez, Alex de Angelis and Thomas Luthi in battling bar-to-bar f💫or the lead.

Only Luthi dropped out of contention in t൩he closing stages, with Iannone making h꧟is race-winning pass by overtaking rookie Marquez into turn one at the start of the last lap.

Iannone then delivered the best l🐼ap of the race to finish 0.161sec ahead of the Repsol rider at the flag.

Ma🎐rquez in turn crossed the line a mere 0.246sec ahead of title leade✃r Stefan Bradl, who had led the majority of the race.

Marquez nearly collided with Bradl early on the opening lap and took time to regain his rhythm b🐓efore fighting his way back through the group, making contact with de Angelis on several occasions.

JiR rider de Angelis mis⛎sed a second podium in a row by less than half-a-second, with Luthi finishing four seconds from victory. Pons rider Alexis Espargaro won another multi-bike battle for✅ sixth.

Bradl is now a reduced 43 points ahead of Marquez,✱ both riders having won four races this se𝄹ason.

Tech 3's Bradley Smith had a short but spectacular race, the rookie rising from 16th on the grid to seventh, missing a falling Jules Cluzel by millimeters then crashing after tr꧂ipping over Mika Kallio - all within two laps.
