Jorge Martin will be hoping to clinch another podium or victory at the German MotoGP and extend his advantage in the championship.
Most recent race
The 28-year-old had a solid Netherlands MotoGP at Assen on 28 June, finishing on the podium (third) while his teammate Marco Bezzecchi crashed out early.
This result handed Martin the championship lead for the first time this season as he seeks MotoGP world title glory.
MotoGP ambitions
Martin, the 2024 MotoGP world champion, sits first in the 2026 MotoGP Riders’ standings with 193 points.
The 28-year-old leads teammate Marco Bezzecchi by just seven points and the duo are set to battle intensely at the Sachsenring as Aprilia looks strong.
Why Jorge Martin could win the German MotoGP
The man Martinator has showed that he has the speed, racecraft, and ability to capitalise on rivals' misfortunes, which sees him at the sharp end of the championship.
Martin will be determined to deliver a strong result this weekend on a track where he won the 2023 German MotoGP and pull clear of Bezzecchi and the chasing pack.
Quotes
“It was a good weekend, and we earned some important points," Martin said after finishing third at the 2026 Netherlands MotoGP.
"I’m particularly happy with the step forward we have taken in terms of speed and feeling. I stayed in the lead for 16 laps of the race and that is an important sign. I gave one hundred per cent from the start, and I tried to manage the tyres for the finale.”
“Yeah, very happy… to be again on top after such a fight during last season… now the more difficult part will come so we have to be always trying to improve.” (from TNT Sports interview)
