Jorge Martin secured pole position at the German Grand Prix by breaking the lap record at Sachsenring, extending his lead over Francesco Bagnaia in the MotoGP championship. Despite initial challenges, Martin overtook Miguel Oliveira and Bagnaia during the race, with Bagnaia ultimately finishing third after pressure from Enea Bastianini. Meanwhile, Marc Marquez impressively climbed to sixth from a 13th grid start following injuries. Yellow flags disrupted Bagnaia's qualifying attempts, leaving him fourth and offering a chance to narrow the 10-point gap to Martin during the sprint race.
