Andrew McLarney is an accredited MotoGP reporter 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/Motocross.
It was a fiercely competitive qualifying session in the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring with several riders gunning for pole position.
In the Q1 session, it was Bagnaia and Quartararo who put in the fastest laps and advanced though, with the Honda duo of Joan Mir and Luca Marini narrowly missing out along with Diogo Moreira.
Marco Bezzecchi then suffered a big high side on his second flying lap in Q2, which certainly won't help his already less-than-ideal physical condition, let alone his championship challenge. His teammate Jorge Martin also appeared to struggle and only managed a P9 finish.
Marc Marquez put in a great lap to usurp Di Giannantonio and Raul Fernandez at the top, and was then joined on the front row by younger brother Alex Marquez - who incredibly is still recovering from a fractured neck vertebrae he suffered in Catalonia.

Fabio Quartararo was very impressive to finish in P6 while Pecco Bagnaia will be disappointed to start on the fourth row.

German Grand Prix Moto2 Qualifying Results
Moto2 qualifying gave us a few surprises with Celestino Vietti being eliminated along with Aron Canet. Aymu Sasaki suffered a heartbreaking exit as he missed out on Q2 by just 0.03 seconds.

In Q2 it was Ivan Ortola who set the fastest lap fairly early in the session, and despite the best efforts of championship leader Manuel Gonzalez, he remained top and took pole position for tomorrow's race.
David Alonso will be disappointed with his time, only managing a P8 finish in the end.

German Grand Prix Moto3 Qualifying Results
Moto3 qualifying was ecery bit as dramatic with surprise eliminations for Valentin Perrone and Guido Pini in Q1, while championship contender David Almansa has retired from the weekend due to health issues. Casey O'Gorman beat Quiles to top the session with Fernandez and Cruces also making it through.

Quiles, who suffered a nasty crash during Friday practice, managed to recover and qualify in P4. However, it was Brian Uriarte who once again gave an impressive showing to take pole position by a very narrow margin from Marco Morelli and Hakim Danish. All indications are that it should be a cracking race tomorrow in Moto3.
