2026 German MotoGP, Sachsenring - Warm-up Results
Warm-up results from the 2026 German MotoGP at Sachsenring, round 11 of 22.
Marc Marquez leads another Ducati top-three sweep during warm-up for the 2026 Sachsenring MotoGP, which finished with a fast fall for Fabio di Giannantonio.
Sprint winner and pole qualifier Marquez, chasing a record tenth German MotoGP victory this afternoon, took over at the top from di Giannantonio in the closing minutes.
But Diggia, reportedly trying the latest GP26 aero, then crashed on entry to the fast Turn 8, sending his Desmosedici rolling into an airfence. The Italian, third in the Sprint, fortunately walked away.
Alex Marquez, who finished between Marc and di Giannantonio in the Sprint, was third in warm-up. The trio will again form this afternoon's front row.
Yamaha riders Fabio Quartararo and Jack Miller were the top non-Ducatis in fourth and fifth.
The ten-minute session saw riders move from the soft rear tyre in the Sprint, to the medium, in preparation for this afternoon’s grand prix distance.
Title leader Jorge Martin, sixth in the Sprint, was only tenth this morning.
The 30-lap grand prix starts at 2pm local time (1pm UK).

Johann Zarco remains absent due to his knee ligament injuries at Catalunya in May. The Frenchman is again replaced at LCR by Cal Crutchlow.
