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
11 Jul 2025

14:10
Front end washed away from Bez on the way in. Pretty typical crash for that corner.
14:09
Crash - Marco Bezzecchi
Marco Bezzecchi has crashed at the last corner. Rider ok.
14:07
Marc Marquez goes back to the top with a 1m19.812s, with Di Giannantonio second on a 1m20.003s.
DiGia was the fastest rider who didn't change tyres behind Marquez at the end of FP1. So, he's been quick all day so far has the VR46 rider.
14:05
But Fabio Di Giannantonio has gone quicker with a 1m20.136s.
14:05
Marc Marquez sets the fastest time of the day straight away with a 1m20.334s.
14:04
Big split on tyres right now, with eight riders on the soft rear and the rest on medium.
Bezzecchi, Rins, Zarco and Miller are on used medium rubber.
14:03
First laps on the board and it's Pecco Bagnaia leading the way with a 1m20.868s.
14:00
Green flag
Practice is underway.
13:56
In case you're new, or have just forgotten, the top 10 at the end of this session will advance directly into Q2 for tomorrow's qualifying.
The rest will face Q1 to battle for one of two places in Q2 on Saturday morning.
13:55
Alex Marquez was declared fit to complete the German GP weekend following checks after FP1.
He was 14th this morning.
13:49
The all-time Moto2 lap record fell towards the end of the prior session, so the track is in good shape for Practice.
13:44
The best time from this morning was a 1m20.372s set by Marc Marquez.
The lap record here is 1m19.423s, set by Jorge Martin last year. Fully expect to see that broken this afternoon.
13:42
The UK is currently bathing in a heatwave, but it's a bit more pleasant at the Sachsenring today.
Air temp is at 22 degrees C and the threat of rain looks to have shifted. So, we should get a full hour of dry running this afternoon.
13:40
