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 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 first 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 anf 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.
