2022 MotoGP German Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more
MotoGP travels to the Sachsenring this weekend for the 10th round of the 2022 season. Here's the full schedule for the German Grand Prix.
Marc Marquez has been unbeaten at the Sachsenring since his debut in MotoGP in 2013. But with the Honda rider missing the race after undergoing a fourth surgery on his right arm, there will be a new winner in the German GP for the first time in nearly a decade.
Some of the leading contenders for victory are Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) and Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia), who currently sit first and second in the championship respectively and separated by just 22 points at the top of the standings.
The Ducati's charge is currently led by Gresini rider Enea Bastianini, but the Italian retired from the last two races at Mugello and Barcelona and is in the need of a big result.
Other favourites from Ducati are Pramac's Johann Zarco and factory team rider Francesco Bagnaia.
