MotoGP: Marc Marquez wins the sprint in Germany, Nice's Fabio Quartararo on the podium

Starting from pole position, the Catalan missed his first braking point and quickly found himself relegated to fifth place, but he gradually came back and finally deprived Bezzecchi of victory in the final seconds.

This is the tenth success in eleven sprint races this season for Marc Marquez , who further increases his lead at the top of the world championship to 78 points over his brother Alex Marquez (Ducati-Gresini), only eighth on Saturday.

The six-time MotoGP world champion confirmed that he was in his own backyard at the Sachsenring, where he will aim for a ninth victory in 10 Grands Prix in the premier class on Sunday.

Nice's Fabio Quartararo, who started in 7th place, made a superb start to take third place . Second for a long time after the heavy fall of the Italian Franco Morbidelli, the Nice rider was unable to resist the comeback of Marquez . On the other hand, he very well contained the Italian Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati-VR46) in the final laps, despite the superiority of the Italian's bike.

The other Frenchman, Johann Zarco (Honda-LCR), took seventh place after starting in second position.
