MotoGP Germany LIVE: Friday practice updates<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

Live coverage of Friday at the 2026 MotoGP German Grand Prix<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

KEY MOMENTS<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • MotoGP Practice is underway<\/li>\n
  • Morbidelli faces another impeding investigation\u00a0<\/li>\n
  • Raul Fernandez leads FP1<\/li>\n
  • Marc Marquez crashed early in FP1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The 2026 MotoGP season continues this weekend with the final round before the summer break at the German Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    The championship hits the midway stage this weekend at the Sachsenring, with Aprilia’s Jorge Martin coming into the round with a slender championship lead following a third-place finish at the Dutch Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Team-mate Marco Bezzecchi suffered a fast crash at the Assen round to register his third successive non-score on a Sunday, which has seen him lose his grip on the lead of the standings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Bezzecchi comes into Germany not at 100% fitness, leaving the door open for his rivals to do further damage to him in the championship points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    All eyes are on Marc Marquez in Germany, as he looks for his 10th victory in MotoGP at the Sachsenring. A left-handed circuit, the Ducati rider is expected to be fast from the off in Germany in what could be a weekend that propels him close to the lead of the championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Trackhouse will be hoping to build on its standout Assen weekend, where it scored 1-2s in both races. MotoGP’s newest winner, Ai Ogura, will be one to watch as the Germany weekend gets underway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Gresini will be a rider down after Fermin Aldeguer’s crash at Assen. He will not be replaced this weekend in Germany.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    Bagnaia is struggling. This looks like a fourth Q1 appearance of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Crash – Enea Bastianini<\/div>\n

    Enea Bastianini has crashed at Turn 8 while pushing for a place in Q2. That’s his hopes over.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Those yellow flags could be costly for quite a few.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    14:58<\/div>\n
    \n

    Ogura jumps up to sixth wit a 1m19.9s. That should be just about enough to get him into Q2.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    14:57<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    14:56<\/div>\n
    \n

    Bagnaia jumps up to eighth. Not a safe position to be in right now, but that is a bit better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    14:52<\/div>\n
    \n

    Alex Marquez comes from outside of the top 10 to second. So, it’s a Ducati 1-2-3 with eight minutes to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    14:51<\/div>\n
    \n

    Bagnaia needs to dig deep over the final nine minutes. He’s only 12th.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
