KEY MOMENTSMotoGP Practice is at 2pm BSTRaul Fernandez leads FP1Marc Marquez has early crash<\/p>\n

The 2026 MotoGP<\/a> season continues this weekend with the final round before the summer break at the German Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The championship hits the midway stage this weekend at the Sachsenring, with Aprilia’s Jorge Martin coming into the round with a slender championship lead following a third-place finish at the Dutch Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Team-mate Marco Bezzecchi suffered a fast crash at the Assen<\/a> round to register his third successive non-score on a Sunday, which has seen him lose his grip on the lead of the standings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bezzecchi comes into Germany not at 100% fitness, leaving the door open for his rivals to do further damage to him in the championship points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All eyes are on Marc Marquez in Germany, as he looks for his 10th victory in MotoGP at the Sachsenring. A left-handed circuit, the Ducati rider is expected to be fast from the off in Germany in what could be a weekend that propels him close to the lead of the championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trackhouse will be hoping to build on its standout Assen weekend, where it scored 1-2s in both races. MotoGP’s newest winner, Ai Ogura, will be one to watch as the Germany weekend gets underway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gresini will be a rider down after Fermin Aldeguer’s crash at Assen. He will not be replaced this weekend in Germany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
