MotoGP moves swiftly on from the Dutch TT and heads to Germany for this weekend’s racing.
On form
Marc Marquez is still the rider on form having finished no lower than second in the last five races.
Another on good form, although he did have a difficult Dutch TT, is Fabio Quartararo who goes into this weekend off the back of double podium finishes, having finished second in Catalunya and third last time out at Assen.

In need of a result
Valentino Rossi is in need of a strong result in Germany having failed to finish the last three rounds. His last finish coming in France when he claimed fifth place.

Been there, done that
Marc Marquez is certainly the rider to beat at the Sachsenring, having won the last six German Grand Prix. However, his Circuit of the Americas winning run ended this season, could his run at Sachsenring come to a halt this weekend?
The other rider to have taken a premier class victory in Germany is Valentino Rossi, who has won four times. The last of those wins came in 2009.
Last season
Last season Marc Marquez won ahead of the factory Yamahas, with Valentino Rossi finishing second while Maverick Vinales claimed third place.
