Sachsenring MotoGP Sunday Subscriber Notes: Momentum, A Costly Mistake, And Why Some Riders Crashed

For the past three MotoGP rounds, Pecco Bagnaia has been building up an unrelenting head of steam. Starting with victory at Barcelona, then dominating at Mugello and Assen, the Ducati Lenovo rider has grasped the MotoGP season by the throat and is stamping his authority over it. Round by round, race by race, Bagnaia has been eating into Jorge Martin's championship lead.
With the summer break coming up, it was imperative for Martin to call a halt to Bagnaia's march. At the Sachsenring, the Pramac Ducati rider needed to seize back the initiative and open up a gap again over Bagnaia. He needed to shift the momentum.
Martin did that in the sprint race with a comfortable win. He hadn't been able to truly escape, but he had been able to build enough of a margin to put him out of touch of the pursuing riders. And with Miguel Oliveira getting on the podium ahead of Bagnaia, Martin had been able to extend his lead by 5 points over the factory Ducati rider.

2024 Sachsenring Moto3 Practice 2 Result: Fernandez Leads Honda Resurgence
The much-improved conditions on Saturday morning allowed rapid progress on the timing screens in the lightweight class but it wasn’t until after the usual dawdling shenanigans begging for a penalty that Friday’s benchmark was outdone. Quite deservingly, it was Adrian Fernandez running in clear air that claimed the new lap record in the final five minutes of the session, while rookie Luca Lunetta separated the Leopard Racing duo later on to sneak into second position.

Sachsenring MotoGP Saturday Notes: The Right Strategy
Sachsenring MotoGP Saturday Notes: The Right Strategy

The German GP at the Sachsenring is always an important round in MotoGP, but as the last race before the brief summer break, it takes on extra significance. This is the last chance to pick up some momentum going into the break, and carry that confidence through the month of July and into the second half of the season. It is also the best time to raise your value on the rider market by putting in a strong result. A lot of deals will be finalized over the next few weeks, before MotoGP returns at Silverstone.
It is especially important for Jorge Martin. Since the sprint race in Barcelona, the Pramac Ducati rider has seen his lead shrink from 44 points to just 10 after Assen. He has had to watch as Ducati Lenovo rider and double world champion Pecco Bagnaia has won three grand prix and two sprint races in a row. If there was a time to staunch the leaching away of points and turn the momentum of the championship around, it was at the Sachsenring.

2024 Sachsenring Moto2 Practice 2 Result: For Better or Worse, Canet And Chantra In The Limelight
Although Saturday morning presented a more pleasant ambient around the Sachsenring, Friday’s benchmark went unchallenged in the final practice session for the lightweight class. It was a bittersweet result for Somkiat Chantra, who continued to lead the way on the combined timesheets despite starting his morning with a fast crash at turn 12 and missing the rest of the session. Behind the Thai rider, Aron Canet suffered a similar faith with a slightly different script, the Spaniard making a late jump to the top of P2 before tumbling out on the last lap.

Sachsenring MotoGP Friday Round Up: The Perils Of Turning Right, And Why Jorge Martin Is Favorite
Sachsenring MotoGP Friday Round Up: The Perils Of Turning Right, And Why Jorge Martin Is Favorite
The funny thing about Turn 11 at the Sachsenring is that everybody knows that it is a treacherous, treacherous place. You have just spent half a lap on the left side of the tire, you are cresting a hill where the wind tends to blow from your right, and unless it is 25°C or more, with bring sunshine, the grip when you flick right through Turn 11 and down the hill is going to be suboptimal at best.
The right side of the tire will let go as you drop off the crest and onto the right side of the tire, firing you through the gravel at 190 km/h or so. If you crash there, it is going to hurt. The gravel trap at Turn 11 has claimed more than its fair share of collarbones, scaphoids, ankles and more.
So what is most surprising about Turn 11 at the Sachsenring is that even though everybody knows it is so treacherous, they still insist on flinging themselves through the gravel on the Friday at pretty much every German GP. It has become a tradition.
This year, Turn 11 claimed 5 victims, including some pretty big names. David Alonso and Xabi Zurutuza in Moto3, Marc Marquez, Enea Bastianini, and Marco Bezzecchi in MotoGP. All of them were badly shaken up in the crash, with Marquez coming off the worst, fracturing a bone in his left index finger and major bruising to his ribs.
Let it go
