Moto3 was the first race on track on Sunday at the Sachsenring, and set the standard with a cagey, cat and mouse battle out front between Brian Uriarte coming out victorious in the German Grand Prix.

Uriarte had lead from pole and instantly went for a break, reeled back in when Maximo Quiles had moved to the front of the chasing group, soon right back on the wheel of the Red Bull KTM Ajo bike.

The rookie let the Aspar bike through twice to have a look at his rival, with the second time - with three laps to go also serving as a chance to move his chest protector, which he revealed in parc ferme had come loose.

The final lap saw Uriarte aware that Quiles had been struggling in turn three, Omega, and as the Aspar bike went wide the number 51 took his opportunity, running a defensive line in the remaining corners for a second win of the season (the first having come in France) from his first ever pole, 0.063s ahead after a tactically perfect final lap.

Quiles was satisfied with second, admitting in parc ferme he was angry with himself for already being too far into holiday mode ahead of the summer break.

The battle for third was equally as fierce behind. Matteo Bertelle had joined the next group on track after a big push and really made his presence felt on the final lap, ready to pounce when Marco Morelli, who had led the group from much of the race, giving away his strengths and weaknesses, ran wide.

Inside and in the middle of the track  in the run to the line, Bertelle’s strategy out of the final corner saw him win out on the Level Up - MTA bike, completing an all KTM podium, side by side with the Aspar bike - taking third by just seven thousandths.

Rookie Rico Salmela was the last of the group on track in fifth for Red Bull KTM Tech3.

Adrian Fernandez broke from the next pack on track for sixth, the top Honda for Leopard.

Another Honda, the Rivacold Snipers bike with rookie Jesus Rios aboard wa sseventh after his soft front tyre gamble, in turn clear of Veda Pratama, who had been fastest on Friday foe Honda TEam Asia, finding some of that form for eighth from 13th on the grid.

Ryusei Yamanaka was right behind a the chequered flag in ninth for MT Helmets, with Eddie O’Shea also rediscovering his Friday Pace to move from 16th to a top ten finish in the same group fr GRYD MLav Racing.

Alvaro Carpe had been a feature in the lead group until, struggling with the speed out front, he ran wide into the gravel on lap 12, recovering for 11th in the same group for Red Bull KTM Ajo.

Hakim Danish was surprised to have a front row start, and soon slipped back into the pack, finishing 12th for MT Helmets.

The remaining points went to Cormac Buchanan in 13th fro CODE Motorsports, Joel Kelso, who worked his way back to 13th aftervbeing forced into the gravel in the early turn one incident, and Guido Pini on the second Leopard bike in 15th.
