MotoGP Germany - Full Qualifying Results
Marc Marquez takes pole position for the German MotoGP at Sachsenring ahead of a shock second for Avintia Ducati's Hector Barbera (who made the best of a tow form Marquez and later Andrea Iannone), with Valentino Rossi completing the front row in third.
Jorge Lorenzo - who fell at the end of Qualifying 1 - then suffered his third accident of the weekend in the closing minutes of Qualifying 2. Unable to return, the world champion was pushed down to 11th by the chequered flag.
