Marc Marquez Wins German MotoGP, Di Giannantonio Sets Record

Marc Marquez secured his fourth consecutive German MotoGP victory at Sachsenring, celebrating his 200th premier class start by leading from pole and notching his ninth win at the circuit. His brother Alex Marquez finished second, with Francesco Bagnaia taking third place in a race disrupted by several crashes. In practice, Fabio Di Giannantonio set a new lap record for VR46 Ducati, finishing ahead of both Marquez brothers. On the NASCAR front, Connor Zilisch posted the fastest practice time at Sonoma Raceway, setting up a rematch with Shane van Gisbergen after their previous intense battle in Chicago. Zilisch reflected on his strategy during that race, suggesting he could have defended more aggressively. The motorsport weekend was highlighted by record-breaking performances and ongoing rivalries in both MotoGP and NASCAR.
