Germany will play host to the final round before MotoGP’s now traditional summer shutdown.
Marc Marquez is easily the most successful grand prix rider at the Sachsenring, having won 12 races at the 3.6km venue across all classes. The track’s anti-clockwise layout is expected to play to his strengths again, making him the favourite for victory this weekend.
Further, the Ducati rider arrives at the German Grand Prix having won two out of the last three races, including back-to-back races in Balaton Park and Brno.
Aprilia, however, continues to lead all three championships, with Jorge Martin heading the riders’ standings from team-mate Marco Bezzecchi.
