MotoGP | German GP 2021: back to Marquez's track. Dates, times and info

MotoGP GP Sachsenring – The German Grand Prix, eighth stage of the 2021 MotoGP World Championship, is scheduled for this weekend on the Sachsenring track.

The man to beat on the German circuit will certainly be Fabio Quartararo. The French rider, current world championship leader, seems to be in excellent shape and despite missing the podium in Barcelona, ​​he certainly remains among the favourites. On the Saxony track we could also see Vinales fighting for important positions, while the Suzukis will almost certainly be among the protagonists. Petronas unknown with Valentino Rossi slowly growing and Franco Morbidelli unfortunately very fluctuating due to the bike. Particular attention also goes to KTM which has demonstrated with the latest updates that it is ready to return to the constant fight for the top positions. Ducati, on the other hand, has never shone in Germany and its riders Bagnaia and Miller will have to try to limit the damage, as will Zarco for the Pramac team.

Obviously speaking of the Sachsenring we cannot fail to also take Marc Marquez into account. The Spaniard is slowly returning to driving with his classic style and the track where he has never lost probably comes at the best time.

Info GP Sachsenring

The German Grand Prix is ​​one of the historic stages of the MotoGP, which before arriving on the Sachsenring track built in 1996, was contested on the rough roads of Chemnitz. The Sachsenring circuit officially entered the calendar in 1998, and over the years it has undergone numerous changes, up until the one in 2001 which literally revolutionized the circuit. The track measures 3.7 km, and has 10 left turns and only 3 right turns.
