Data Preview for the German MotoGP

This weekend, MotoGP heads to the iconic Sachsenring circuit in Germany. Here are some key stats and facts about the track and the race:

11-Time winner Marc Marquez is undoubtedly the most successful rider at this venue, with 11 victories across all classes. Behind him are Dani Pedrosa with 6 wins and Valentino Rossi with 5.

Among current riders, 8 have stood on the podium at Sachsenring: Marc Marquez, Viñales, Quartararo, Zarco, Oliveira, Miller, Bagnaia, and Martin.

Three active riders have claimed pole position at Sachsenring: Marc Marquez, Zarco, and Bagnaia.

If Marquez triumphs this weekend, it will be his first victory in 987 days, since his last win at the 2021 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

With 329 starts, Aleix Espargaro could make history this weekend, potentially surpassing Loris Capirossi for third place in the all-time list, behind Dovizioso (346) and Rossi (432).

Bagnaia is set for his 200th start across MotoGP and its feeder series, while Quartararo aims for his 100th MotoGP start.

If a Ducati rider qualifies in the top 3, it will mark 69 consecutive races with a front-row start for the team, a streak dating back to the 2020 Valencia GP.

If a Ducati rider reaches the podium, it will be their 55th consecutive race with a rostrum finish.

Acosta, turning 20 years and 43 days old on race day, could break Marquez’s record as the youngest premier class winner (20 years and 63 days). This is his last chance to set this record.

Six riders could claim their maiden premier class victory: Alex Marquez, Raul Fernandez, Marini, Takaaki Nakagami, Augusto Fernandez, and Acosta.

Both KTM and Aprilia are eyeing their first premier class win at Sachsenring.
