Talking points from Thursday as MotoGP lands in Germany for Round 11

Round 11 of 2025 sees us land at arguably the most unique circuit we visit year on year – the Sachsenring. After his Cathedral masterclass, Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) comes into his stomping ground 68 points clear of Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP), who arrives in Germany nursing his left-hand fracture that he picked up at Assen.

Can the 93 add to his eight MotoGP wins at the Sachsenring, or can he be stopped? Alex Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) will be out to halt his charge, and so will the riders who joined Marc in the Pre-Event Press Conference. Those being Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing), Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) and Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing). Watch the full Press Conference below.
