After a weekend away from the relentless drama and excitement that MotoGP continues to unearth, we arrive at the wonderfully unique Sachsenring for one final slice of action before a well-deserved summer break.
And it’s a crucial weekend in the title fight too. Can a bruised Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) bounce back after his huge Assen crash? Can his teammate, Jorge Martin, go into the summer still holding onto the championship lead? Will Sachsenring King Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) continue his dominance at this circuit and propel himself further into the title fight equation?
Plenty of questions. And plenty of answers coming when we hit the track in Germany. Before we do that though, here’s the lowdown from Thursday in Assen, ICYMI!
