As it Happened: Martin takes Sprint race win at the Sachsenring!
Francesco Bagnaia arrives at the German Grand Prix weekend looking for a trilogy of wins, but with no previous wins at the Sachsenring to his credit.
Those recent honours have almost all gone to ‘King of the Ring’ Marc Marquez, who has a supreme track record in Germany, having won his last eleven visits to the track, with eight of those victories coming in MotoGP and seven from pole position.
2022 saw Fabio Quartararo come away with the win, the last time he won a race. Current form sees him unlikely to repeat that - he holds a best of third in the Sunday feature race back in Austin and has picked up just a single point over all the sprint races this season.
