2025 German MotoGP: Friday practice as it happened
2025 German MotoGP: Friday practice LIVE UPDATES!
The 11th round of the 2025 MotoGP season sees the championship return to Sachsenring for the German Grand Prix.
Marc Marquez comes to a circuit where he went undefeated between 2013 and 2021 leading the championship by 68 points after taking his third successive sprint/grand prix double last time out at the Dutch Grand Prix.
With nearest rival Alex Marquez crashing out and injuring himself, while Pecco Bagnaia slid 126 points back in the standings in third, many are viewing this weekend's German Grand Prix as the moment where Marc Marquez can really take command in the championship.
But uncertain weather conditions are on the cards this weekend, which could throw up a few surprises.
Friday schedule:
FP1 - 9:45am BST
Practice - 2pm BST

German MotoGP Practice Results
15:01
Chequered flag
Chequered flag is out and Di Giannantonio is fastest from Alex Marquez, who is also under the lap record.
Fermin Aldeguer has gone down again.
Marc Marquez ends the session third, but as mentioned it doesn't look like he actually did the last run on fresh soft rubber.
14:59
Quartararo is back in and pointing at his fuel tank, suggesting he's out of gas.
14:58
According to the tyre graphic, Marc Marquez is showing on the medium rear tyre with eight laps on it.
14:58
Bagnaia's down in the danger zone. He's ninth with just a few minutes to go.
14:56
Quartararo makes a huge jump to second. Massive lap for the Yamaha rider.
14:56
Morbidelli is the next to improve to third.
14:56
Bezzecchi improves to third now. Five minutes to go.
14:54
Big improvement for Alex Marquez to third with a 1m19.649s. That may well just be enough to get through to Q2.
14:52
Fabio Quartararo improves to ninth, nudging Alex Marquez to 10th and the danger zone with eight minutes go.
14:50
Marquez improves again to a 1m19.461s.
14:48
Marc Marquez finds a 1m19.486s, with Di Giannantonio second and Miller third.
14:47
Acosta goes fastest with a 1m19.772s!
14:46
Acosta goes to second with a 1m19.843s.
14:46
Oliveira makes a big move to fifth on a fresh soft.
14:45
15 minutes to go, so it's time for the flying laps!
14:42
Marquez is now back in the pits. You do get a penalty for crashing under yellow flags, which the Ducati rider didn't do. So, he should get away with that.
14:41
Indeed he has. Aldeguer was also in the gravel trap at the same time after a crash.
14:40
Marquez has been off in sector one. There's dirt on his tyres.
14:39
Big moment for Marc Marquez going through 10 while on a hot lap.
14:37
Zarco moves to fourth now with a 1m20.210s.
14:36
Zarco improves to seventh with a 1m20.477s. That won't be enough to cement a Q2 place, but it's a start.
14:35
Seeing a few riders go early on new soft rubber. Sachsenring is so short that any yellow flags could ultimately scupper a couple of laps. So, getting a banker in around here is arguably more important than anywhere else.
