Andrea Iannone ended his long🌟est Moto2 win drought in style with a thrilling victory at Brno in the Czech Republꦛic on Sunday.

The Italian꧙, winless since round two at Jerez, was the first of four 💫riders to cross the line within one-second after 20 laps of constant overtaking at the front.

Fifth on lap one, the Speed Master Suter rider joined Stefan 🍒Bradl, Marc Marquez, Alex de Angelis and Thomas Luthi in battling bar-♌to-bar for the lead.

Only Luthi dropped out of contention in the closing stages, wi🙈th Ia🔯nnone making his race-winning pass by overtaking rookie Marquez into turn one at the start of the last lap.

Iannone then delivered t💝he best lap of the race to finish 0.161sec ahead of the Repsol rider at the flag.

Mar🐻quez in turn crossed the line a mere 0.246sec ahead of title leader Stefan Bradl, who had led the majority of the race.

Marquez nearly collided with Bradl early on the opening la🍎p and took time to regain his rhythm before fighting his way back through the group, making contact with de Angelis on several 🦩occasions.

JiR rider de Angelis🍷 missed 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 Marqu🦂ez, both riders having won four races this✨ season.

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