Marc Márquez Equals Agostini With Sachsenring Win, Tightens Title Race

Overview

• On Saturday Márquez took pole at the Sachsenring and dominated the sprint race, adding a ninth pole at this circuit and the 19th sprint win of his career.
• He went on to win the main Grand Prix at the Sachsenring, matching Giacomo Agostini’s records for 13 wins in the same event and 10 wins on one circuit and cutting his gap to the championship leader.
• Márquez achieved the weekend’s results despite not being fully recovered from recent right-shoulder operations and led from pole through key parts of the races.
• Aprilia confirmed that Marco Bezzecchi suffered a complete, displaced fracture of his left clavicle in a heavy crash and will require surgery, a development that removes a key rider from their lineup and affects the team’s campaign.
• The Sachsenring has long been Márquez’s strongest track and his performance—fuelled by sprint points and a full Grand Prix win—shifts momentum in the title fight and increases pressure on Jorge Martín as the season moves toward the summer break.
