Marc Marquez won a German Grand Prix riddled with crashes to extend his lead at the top of the MotoGP riders’ standings to 83 points.
The Spaniard narrowly won Saturday’s sprint race by overtaking Marco Bezzecchi on the final lap to secure a near-perfect 10th sprint win out of a possible 11 in 2025.
But Sunday’s race – his 200th MotoGP start – was a lot easier for the Ducati rider, who led the full distance unchallenged from pole position.
Behind him, many crashed out over the course of the race, in particular at turn one, leaving just 10 of the 18 riders at the finish.
“One more [win at the Sachsenring] was super special,” said the 32-year-old Marquez. “From the beginning, I felt good, the confidence when I started the weekend was super high because we were coming from three victories in a row.
“We are in an incredible moment.”
Marquez’s brother Alex, who is still recovering from the fractured hand he sustained at the Dutch Grand Prix two weeks ago, finished second, while Francesco Bagnaia came third.
