In what ultimately proved to be a race of survival for most of the MotoGP grid, Marc Marquez established his dominance by taking victories in both the Sprint and main races at one of his strongest tracks – the Sachsenring in Germany. Eighteen riders lined up at the start of the main race but ultimately only ten crossed the chequered flag, with riders like Marco Bezzecchi, Pedro Acosta, Johann Zarco and Fabio Di Giannantonio finding themselves in the gravel trap.

Marc now has an 83-point lead in the standings
Marc Marquez victorious as rest of the field flounders
Marc got the perfect start off the line in the main race and for the full 30 laps, no one managed to even attempt an overtake on him. The Spaniard’s pace was fast and consistent enough that by the end of the race he was over 6 seconds clear of the next finisher, his brother Alex. The German GP grid was already one that wasn’t at full strength with riders like Franco Morbidelli, Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales not competing due to various health-related reasons.
What made matters worse was that even more riders were ruled out of contention by the end of the race. Turn 1 in particular caught many of the riders out and of the eighteen racers that lined up, only ten finished the race. Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio, both of whom were in second place at various points during the race, crashed out while trying to catch Marquez.
Ultimately, Francesco Bagnaia and Alex Marquez, who were in the lower half of the top six, finished on the podium, due to all the crashes ahead of them. This surely came as good news to the younger Marquez brother, who was battling through a broken wrist and for Bagnaia too, who has been unable to find his form of previous years with the latest Ducati GP25.
2025 MotoGP standings
Marc Marquez scored his ninth victory at the Sachsenring this time around and has established a dominant 83 point lead over brother Alex, who is second in the standings. Francesco Bagnaia, third in the standings, is a huge 147 points off the lead, with just one race to go before the lengthy summer break. The race weekend in question will be held at the Brno circuit in the Czech Republic on July 18-20.
The Czech GP will mark the return of reigning MotoGP World Champion Jorge Martin aboard the Aprilia RSGP after months of being sidelined due to injury and amid strong rumours of the Spaniard wanting to leave the Noale factory come 2026. It will be interesting to see how the Martin-Aprilia saga unfolds in the coming months as well as how quickly he can adapt to the Aprilia RSGP, now that he is near full fitness.
