JAKARTA - The opportunity for Marc Marquez to defend his world championship title is getting wider after he successfully won the 2026 German MotoGP race which took place at the weekend.
The rider who defends the Ducati team successfully won an easy victory from pole at the Sachsenring Circuit on Sunday, July 12, 2026. The result made him go on summer vacation with only 18 points behind the leader of the standings.
Marquez admitted that victory in Germany was very important for him in the competition to win the world championship title this year after the start of the season he had was so bleak.
"I really focused because if I want to have the opportunity to win the world championship, I have to attack here. That's what we've done in the last few races," he said after the race, quoted by France24.
Marquez was so dominant to win in Germany with a lead of 1.996 seconds over Ai Ogura (Aprilia Trackhouse) who finished in second place. Meanwhile, Raul Fernandez, who is Ogura's teammate, completed the podium in third place.
This is the 10th victory that Marquez has won in Germany. The record makes the Spanish rider manage to equal the record of the Italian legend, Giacomo Agostini, with 10 major class victories at one circuit.
"I am also very happy to win the 10th victory in the MotoGP class at the Sachsenring," said Marquez, who is chasing his eighth MotoGP title to match Agostini as the most successful rider so far.
Before winning the main race, Marquez also climbed the podium in the Sprint Race so he took home the maximum points from Germany. That result makes him now climb to third place in the standings with a collection of 190 points.
The seven-time world champion is closely behind Ogura, who is in second place in the standings with 194 points and Jorge Martin with 208 points in the top spot. This is a significant improvement as he is still 102 points behind after the race in Italy last month.
