The Track

Sachsenring is a track like no other; tight, twisty, and fiercely technical. At just 3.671 km, it’s the shortest circuit of the season but arguably one of the most demanding. Known for its unique layout with 13 corners, riders face 10 left-hand turns versus only 3 right-handers, testing their endurance and tyre management, particularly on the right side of the tyres, which cool down quickly between the sparse right-hand corners.

Championship Standings

Marc Márquez is the current championship leader with 307 points. His younger brother Alex Márquez sits in second place with 239 points, while Francesco Bagnaia is third, having secured 181 points so far.
