German MotoGP - Race Results

Marc Marquez extends his win streak to a perfect nine in a row, Dani Pedrosa second and Jorge Lorenzo third.

Rain shortly before the race produced a chaotic start with Stefan Bradl the only leading rider to correctly select slick tyres.

Most other riders pulled into the pits at the end of the formation lap, switched to their dry bikes and began the race from the end of pit lane!

With wetter settings on his dry bike, Bradl was caught by Repsol Honda riders Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa within six laps, the pair disappearing into the distance in their battle for victory while Bradl faded backwards.
