Welcome back to the King of the Ring - Did you miss it? Dre's being totally honest in the intro, he feels like listening to this would be charity given we all bloody well knew what was about to happen, and yet here we are!
Yep, Marc Marquez took both the Sprint and the Grand Prix in what ended up as his 9th MotoGP win in Germany, his 12th in all the classes, and his 69th Premier Class win, bringing him past Agostini for second on the all-time winners list. For Marc, at least the Sprint was interesting, with him having to come back from 5th on the grid after a poor start and a couple of near crashes. Yes, this is Marquez now and this is all we've got.
The race itself stood out for a different reason - The first corner of poor judgement. Six bikes would crash into the hairpin to open the lap - Ogura, Mir, Zarco, Bezzecchi, Diggia and Savadori, all hitting the gravel. We explain how that came to be.
Also, the Jorge Martin contract dispute finally got resolved - Martin's backed down. Whoops. So how did the Martin camp go from being adamant they had a release clause as recently as Assen, to changing their minds entirely and having Martin stay? Turns out, the courts are a tricky bastard. So what next for Martin and Aprilia?
All that and more in another Motorsport101!
