After Saturday's sprint race, World Championship leader Marc Márquez also won the German Grand Prix the following day. The Ducati rider triumphed at the Sachsenring ahead of his brother Alex (Gresini) and teammate Pecco Bagnaia. Crazy: Only ten riders finished, with Alex Rins being the last on the grid to celebrate six points. Marc Márquez also won the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring after the sprint.
The 32-year-old Spaniard was unbeatable again on Sunday in a race marked by many crashes. The World Championship leader celebrated his seventh victory of the season ahead of his brother Alex and Italian Francesco Bagnaia (all Ducati) and set a new MotoGP record: he is the first rider in history to achieve his ninth victory at the same circuit. Márquez extended his lead over Álex Márquez in the standings to 80 points in his 200th MotoGP race. It was his 69th victory overall, surpassing Giacomo Agostini (68). Only motorcycling legend Valentino Rossi (89) remains clearly ahead of him.

"The Sachsenring was once again very special. We were very confident with three wins in a row. Half the season is over, but we still have to focus for half the season," said the six-time world champion happily, shouting in German to the spectators: "I love you, Sachsenring." Binder tops KTM rider The best KTM rider was once again Brad Binder, who was sixth the day before, with seventh place. Only 18 riders had started due to several retirements, and eight riders likely retired due to incorrect tire choices.
Among them were Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati), who had been in second place for a long time, and Johann Zarco (Honda). Incidentally, Franco Morbidelli, who had previously finished fifth in the World Championship, suffered a severe bruise to his left shoulder in the sprint race, and KTM rider Maverick Viñales also had to withdraw from the race.
The latter had also injured his shoulder in qualifying. According to KTM boss Pit Beirer, the 30-year-old Spaniard will have to undergo surgery and will also be out for the next race in Brno. In addition, Red Bull KTM rider Enea Bastianini also had to withdraw due to appendicitis.
