2025 German MotoGP: Sprint LIVE UPDATES!
Live text coverage of Saturday at the 2025 MotoGP German Grand Prix
The 2025 MotoGP German Grand Prix continues on Saturday with qualifying and the sprint at the Sachsenring.
Wet weather looks set to affect the second day of running in Germany, with Marc Marquez holding a 68-point championship lead ahead of Saturday's sprint.
Winner of all but one sprint so far in 2025, Marquez's Saturday form has been superior but he cautioned on Friday that he will need to weigh up risk over reward in a rain-hit Saturday.
The championship leader was third at the end of Friday's running, with VR46 Ducati's Fabio Di Giannantonio setting the pace with a new lap record.
Alex Marquez was second having been cleared to ride after medical checks and will welcome the wet weather on Saturday to ease the strain on his injured left hand.
Jorge Martin was on pole in Germany last year and won the sprint.
Saturday schedule:
Qualifying - 9:50am BST
Sprint - 2pm BST
12 Jul 2025

The chequered flag is out. Marc Marquez wins his 10th sprint of the 2025 season ahead of Marco Bezzecchi.
Fabio Quartararo somehow holds off Fabio Di Giannantonio to complete the podium.
14:34
Marquez goes up the inside at Turn 1 but runs wide. But he holds the inside into Turn 2. Marquez leads!
14:33
Lap 15/15
Final lap. It's all on for the win!
14:32
Lap 14/15
Two laps to go. Bezzecchi's lead is down to just 0.2s.
14:31
DiGia is just 0.7s behind Quartararo now. Matter of when not if for the Yamaha rider.
14:30
Lap 13/15
Bezzecchi's lead is now down to 0.6s - so there's our answer regarding Marquez.
14:30
Marquez ran a bit wide at Turn 2, which has given a few tenths back to Bezzecchi.
That's two warnings he's had in this sprint. How long does he continue to push and risk losing nine points?
14:29
Lap 12/15
Bezzecchi starts lap 12 and is now only 0.9s ahead of Marquez now.
The championship leader isn't giving this one up!
14:28
Lap 11/15
Bezzecchi was slightly faster than Marquez that time around as we start lap 11.
Lead stands at 1.3s.
14:27
Acosta has taken 11th from Bagnaia at Turn 12.
14:27
Quartararo is starting to struggle. He's dropped a second behind Marquez and has DiGia coming for him.
That Yamaha has always struggled when wet tracks dry.
14:26
Lap 10/15
Bezzecchi's lead is 1.2s as Marquez was quicker despite that moment in second.
14:25
Marquez has a huge scare into Turn 3 as the rear let go. That will surely warn him off chasing down Bezzecchi.
14:25
Lap 9/15
Marc Marquez takes second from Quartararo at Turn 1. Bezzecchi's lead is 1.4s.
14:24

14:23
Lap 8/15
Marquez is the fastest rider on track again and he is closing down Quartararo in second. Bezzecchi continues to lead, while Acosta has fallen off the back of Marquez and back into DiGia's clutches.
14:22
Bagnaia is having a shocker. He's out of the points in 12th. We haven't even seen him on the broadcast this afternoon.
14:22
Further down, Miller is sixth from Binder, Alex Marquez and Zarco.
14:22
Lap 7/15
Lap seven now and Bezzecchi's lead remains 1.3s over Quartararo, who is a second clear of Marquez.
14:20
Lap 6/15
Onto lap six, Bezzecchi still leads by 1.3s over Quartararo, with Marquez third having set the fastest lap.
