The MotoGP series reached the halfway point at Germany last weekend. A counter-clockwise track dominated by Marc Marquez over the years saw him take victory in both races and close in on the championship lead.
On Saturday, Marquez led from pole position and was followed by his brother Alex, also aboard a Ducati, and the duo made it to the checkered flag ahead of Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati).
Sunday’s GP race saw the Marquez brothers, once again, first and second through the first 10 laps before Alex crashed (unhurt). Marc Marquez cruised to the victory with a battle behind him between the Aprilia mounted Ai Ogura and Raul Fernandez. Ogura ultimately pulled a gap to take second, with Fernandez in third.
Previous points leader Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) broke his collarbone during qualifying and did not race. We understand he has undergone successful surgery and is expected back at the next round following the summer break.
Jorge Marin (Aprilia) has a narrow 14 point lead over Ai Ogura in the championship. For full results and points for Saturday’s Sprint race, visit the MotoGP site here. For full results and points for Sunday’s MotoGP race, visit the MotoGP site here.
