Italian Enea Bastianini of Kalex led from start to finish at the Czech Moto2 GP at Brno on Sunday to claim a second straight victory and climbing top of the world championships.
Behind closed doors on a hot and sunny afternoon, Britain's Sam Lowes was second while Joe Roberts of the United States third.

Another Italian, Dennis Foggia of Honda, won his first Grand Prix in the third tier Moto3 level earlier, while second placed Albert Arenas extended his world championship lead.
The 19-year-old Foggia is a product of Valentino Rossi's VR46 academy, while Arenas of KTM is still limping heavily after his fall two weeks ago.
