Marc Marquez, known as the 'King of Sachsenring', celebrated his 200th MotoGP start by winning the German Grand Prix. This victory extended his championship lead and marked his ninth MotoGP win at Sachsenring.

Marc Marquez won a bruising German MotoGP on Sunday to mark his 200th premier class start in style and stretch his lead in the world championship. His brother Alex Marquez took second with Francesco Bagnaia third as only 10 riders finished,

Acosta’s Grand Prix then ended with a crash at Turn 2 from P5, so that was KTM’s main hopes of the Sachsenring podium over. That promoted Bagnaia to P5, with Alex Marquez swarming all over the tailpipes of Bezzecchi for P3. 0.6s up the road in P2, Di Giannantonio was losing around a tenth a lap to Marc Marquez at this stage of the Grand Prix.
