Alex Márquez’s Sachsenring sprint ended in a crash on lap 10 as Marc Marquez claimed a historic 10th German GP victory on Sunday, matching Giacomo Agostini’s record at the Sachsenring.

The reigning MotoGP champion completed a perfect weekend double in front of nearly 100,000 fans, while his closest Sprint rival, Alex Márquez, slid off at the final corner while holding second place. Fabio di Giannantonio also crashed out from fifth, leaving Marc Marquez to dominate the race.

**What went wrong for Alex Márquez?**

Alex Márquez, riding in the 2003 Gresini livery, lost control at Turn 11 on lap 10 while battling for second. His crash came after a strong Sprint performance where he finished third, just behind his brother. The Spaniard’s exit left him without points in a race where every position mattered.

**How did Marc Marquez react?**

Marc Marquez, who led from the front, rode to a safe victory ahead of Ai Ogura and Raúl Fernández. His win at Sachsenring—round 11 of 22—extended his lead in the championship, though Jorge Martín (Aprilia) remains a threat with just 24 points separating the top five.

**What’s next for Alex Márquez?**

With Gresini’s Fermín Aldeguer still sidelined by injury, Alex Márquez’s campaign faces uncertainty. The Spaniard will look to regroup before the British GP at Silverstone (August 7–9), where Aprilia hopes Marco Bezzecchi—recovering from a collarbone fracture—can return.
