Miguel Oliveira continues Aprilia’s strong Sachsenring weekend by leading final practice for the 2024 German MotoGP.
The Trackhouse rider enjoyed his best session of the year to finish 0.231s clear of last year’s double Sachsenring winner Jorge Martin.
Sachsenring king Marc Marquez - who fractured his left index finger and suffered a big bruise to the ribs in a 190km/h Friday highside - returned this morning, but again pulled straight back into the pits after an out-lap to have something checked on his GP23.
Last on the timesheets until the middle stages of the half-hour, Marquez climbed quickly up the order to second, behind Martin, which became third after Oliveira's surge.
Friday pacesetter Maverick Vinales was fourth, after a fall at Turn 1, while Oliveira’s team-mate Raul Fernandez made it three RS-GPs in the top six, just behind reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia.
Qualifying 1 for those outside the top ten on Friday, including Marc Marquez, will now begin.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
