When you think about German GP, you probably first remember that Marc Marquez is the actual king of Sachsenring, because he has 6 victories in last six season, which is really impressive. Also Marc achieved to take all the pole positions too. He won three times in a row in Moto GP class (2015, 2014, 2013), twice in Moto2 (2012, 2011) and one time in Mot3 class (2010).
But lets not forget his teammate Dani Pedrosa who also has 6 victories, two in the highest class and last one in 2012.
One of the facts is that Jorge Lorenzo has never won here, and he also has never been on the podium.
Nine time world champion Valentino Rossi last time won here in 2009, and it is the last time Yamaha scored the victory on this circuit.
Sachsenring is definitely not one of the fastest tracks in the calendar, because it is really short, also with tight corners and a lots of ups and downs, what makes it really difficult for riders. Also most of the curves are on the left side, and curve no. 11 is the most challenging, because it is quite fast comparing to the rest of the track.
Important news ahead of this weekend, are that Johann Zarco will be part of Moto GP next year as a Yamaha Tech 3 driver, together with Jonas Folger.
