Marc Marquez

Marc Marquez secured pole position for the German MotoGP after the Spaniard set the fastest time on his Ducati in qualifying at the Sachsenring on Saturday, but Marco Bezzecchi will miss the rest of the weekend after breaking his collarbone following a heavy fall.

Marquez, the reigning world champion, will start from pole for the ninth time in the premier class at the German circuit - the first rider to achieve the feat. He booked his place at the front of the grid with a new all-time lap record of 1min 19.041sec.
