As it happened: Fabio Quartararo wins German MotoGP after Pecco Bagnaia crashes
Fabio Quartararo joins Enea Bastianini on three MotoGP wins so far in 2022 after another dominating performance.
Pecco Bagnaia lost the rear of his Ducati in the early stages of the German MotoGP and crashed out of the race.
He had already been overtaken by reigning world champion Fabio Quartararo who cruised to victory.

Has Vinales finally gelled with the Aprilia - the Spaniard is hot on the heels of team-mate Aleix Espargaro for third.
Quartararo leads by 1.3 seconds from Zarco who is keeping the Yamaha rider honest.
Alex Marquez is back in the garage as Honda's day goes from bad to worse.
Takaaki Nakagami is down at turn eight. Disaster for the Japanese rider.
Joan Mir has also crashed at turn one.
Correction: It's a turn one crash for Bagnaia.
Bagnaia is out. The Ducati rider has crashed at turn three
Quartararo is attempting to pull clear and take advantage of his medium rear.
Nearly contact as Bagnaia goes for it at turn one but Quartararo cuts back underneath the Ducati rider.
Quartararo is just ahead of Bagnaia who is looking to fight straight back...
Quartararo leads!!
And it's lights out!
Quartararo has also chosen the medium rear, a slight surprise.
Formation lap is underway!
Vinales appears to be the only rider on a medium rear, every other rider has gone with the hard tyre.
Track conditions are very, very hot and so the 30-lap race is likely to come down to who can preserve their rear tyre the best.
A reminder that Bagnaia goes from pole with French duo Quartararo and Zarco alongside him.
Up next is the main event - the MotoGP of Germany at Sachsenring. Race start is in 21 minutes.
