MotoE GP Germany Race – Niki Tuuli wins the first race of the electric championship, the German GP.

The race held on a damp track began without a lineup lap, unlike the other categories.

Tuuli started well from pole and immediately took the lead, but after a couple of corners Smith took the lead, behind him Di Meglio overtook Tuuli. On the following lap the three begin to battle for first position, with the poleman not making life easy for his opponents.

The fight for victory continues in the following stages, with Garzo joining the fight.
