MOTOGP » German MotoGP, Sachsenring - Saturday practice

Full Saturday free practice times from the German MotoGP at Sachsenring, round 8 of 18.
Light rain began falling just before the start of the session.

The track then dried in the closing minutes, when CRT riders Michele Pirro and Mattia Pasini used slick tyres to move ahead of Nicky Hayden (wets).

Ducati test rider Franco Battaini is replacing the injured Karel Abraham. Alvaro Bautista will start from the back of the grid on Sunday after being penalised for his Assen collision with Jorge Lorenzo.
