Marc Marquez dominated Sunday’s German Grand Prix to claim his 10th Sachsenring MotoGP victory, with a full points haul putting him firmly in title contention.

The factory Ducati rider led from start to finish, completing a stunning weekend at the German circuit after also taking the sprint win on Saturday.

He took victory by two seconds on Sunday ahead of the two Trackhouse riders, with Assen race winner Ai Ogura ahead of team-mate Raul Fernandez.

The podium hands Ogura second place in the championship standings heading into the summer break, 14 points behind leader Jorge Martin.

Marquez is now third, 18 points behind Martin, having closed down a 102-point deficit over the past four events.

Fellow title contender Fabio Di Giannantonio had hoped to continue his title fight, having been third in the standings.

But he dropped behind both Trackhouse riders off the line before crashing out on lap four at Turn 10 for his first Sunday DNF of the season. 

It came after he also crashed in warm up while testing new aero parts.

Gresini’s Alex Marquez also crashed out while running second to his brother, this time on lap nine at the final corner, a turn which also claimed Honda’s Joan Mir. 

Though Ogura was the quicker of the two Trackhouse Aprils off the line, Fernandez passed him at the final corner on lap one to take second place.

The pair continued to tussle throughout the race, but Ogura’s superior pace in the final 10 laps gave him his first chance on lap 24/30.

That bold move failed, but he made it up the inside of his team-mate next time round, and was able to build a 2.5s lead to Fernandez by the chequered flag.

Pedro Acosta was fourth for KTM, having challenged the Trackhouse riders for third before fading late on.

Championship leader Martin took fifth for Aprilia, ahead of Ducati’s Pecco Bagnaia, having mounted a staunch defence from his former title rival late on.

Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo was seventh, having started sixth and fallen to ninth before battling back up the order.

Luca Marini was eighth for Honda, with Tech3’s Enea Bastianini and Brad Binder of KTM completing the top 10.

Cal Crutchlow crashed out late on his LCR Honda while battling with Toprak Razgatlioglu, while Maverick Vinales capped off another difficult weekend with Tech3 by retiring to the pits with four laps to go.
