German MotoGP - Warm-up Results

Pol Espargaro makes a bit of MotoGP history by putting KTM fastest during morning warm-up for the German MotoGP at Sachsenring.

However it was a bittersweet result with brother Aleix heading for hospital to have his ribs checked after a big highside, which brought out the red flags, halfway through the session.

Aleix will have a grid penalty if he starts this afternoon's race after accidentally blocking Marquez on Saturday.

Franco Morbidelli, who fractured his left hand at Assen, withdrew after FP1 and is replaced by former MotoGP racer and present HRC test rider Stefan Bradl.

KTM wild-card Mika Kallio was ruled out after damaging knee ligaments in a big Friday afternoon fall.
