MotoGP German GP: Marquez Leads Ducati's Qualifying Domination as Bezzecchi Crashes
- On Saturday, reigning world champion Marc Marquez secured pole position with a track record lap of 1m19.041s at Sachsenring before winning the MotoGP sprint, claiming his record 19th sprint victory at the German Grand Prix.
- Aprilia rider Marco Bezzecchi arrived at Sachsenring below full fitness following his heavy crash at Assen last week, admitting he was "in trouble with my body" during Friday practice time attacks.
- Bezzecchi's difficulties worsened when he suffered a huge highside crash at Turn 7 during Q2, losing his back wheel at over 130 km/h and breaking his left collarbone in the fall.
- Ducati swept the podium with Marquez leading his brother Alex Marquez of Gresini Racing and Fabio Di Giannantonio of VR46 Racing, while Bezzecchi was ruled out for the remainder of the weekend and will return to Italy for surgery.
- Victory on Sunday would see Marquez equal Italian legend Giacomo Agostini's record for most wins at a single event with his 13th victory at Sachsenring, where he is a 12-time winner across all classes.
