Andrew McLarney is a MotoGP reporter for GPBlog. With four years experience as a professional writer across the sports and video game industries, his experience as a K1 Premier League competitor evolved into a fascination with all forms of combat sport and eventually motorsport — with MotoGP becoming his primary focus. On top of that he is also an avid follower of MXGP and AMA Supercross as well as F1 and GT racing.
It was a hot and tense Friday afternoon session at the Sachsenring as the riders battled for their places in tomorrow's qualifying sessions.
Marc Marquez set the fastest time of the afternoon with a 1:19.394 and topped the session, as many expected. Raul Fernandez finished in second, but looks like a strong contender for the win if he can keep up this kind of form.
Jack Miller was the standout rider of the session, taking his Pramac Yamaha to an exceptional P5. The Aussie will go directly into Q2 for the second time this season.
Franco Morbidelli also made a rare top ten appearance, however he could be under investigation for a penalty after impeding Pedro Acosta on the racing line.
Enea Bastianini had the only major crash of the session with a fast slide in Turn 8. Thankfully the Italian rider was okay, but his Tech3 KTM less so.
