Marc Marquez will be hoping to win the German MotoGP for the 12th time when he competes in the historic Sachsenring.
Most recent race
The Ducati Gresini Racing MotoGP rider was not at his best at the most recent event in the 2024 calendar which was the Dutch TT on 30 June.
Marquez started in the sixth grind, but he slipped up and finished 10th which saw him accumulate six points from the enthralling race.
MotoGP title ambitions
The man nicknamed the 'Ant of Cervera' remains third on the 2024 MotoGP Riders' standings having accumulated 142 points from eight races.
Ant of Cervera is 48 points behind second-placed Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati Lenovo Team and 58 points behind leader Jorge Martin of Ducati Prima Pramac Racing.
Why Marquez could win the 2024 German MotoGP
Marquez is one of the most successful riders in the history of the German MotoGP having won the race 11 times and only Giacomo Agostini has more titles (13).
The 31-year-old, who won seven successive German MotoGP titles between 2013 and 2019, has what it takes to win this weekend's race.
What did he say?
“Unfortunately, even if by very little, we’re outside the technical parameters regarding tyre pressure and therefore we accept the penalty," Marquez said after the 2024 Dutch TT.
"It’s really a shame to leave here with such few points: we could have scored two fourth place finishes but… The coming together with Bastianini surely played a part but we’re not looking for excuses.
"I was playing well with tyre pressure until that moment. Let’s wrap up this weekend and turn our focus on Germany.”
