MotoGP: Germany, Marc Marquez on pole ahead of brother Alex

Marc Marquez will start from pole position at the German MotoGP Grand Prix, sharing the front row with his brother Alex Marquez. This marks Marquez's 77th career pole in the premier class and his ninth at the Sachsenring circuit, a track where he has historically excelled.

Dubbed "The King of the Ring," the Ducati rider aims for his 13th victory at the German track on Sunday. This win would allow him to equal two significant records held by Giacomo Agostini: the most wins in a single race and the most victories at a single circuit in the top class.

Ducati secured a strong qualifying performance with Fabio Di Giannantonio taking third place, completing a front-row lockout for the Italian manufacturer. Raul Fernandez, Ogura, and Quartararo will form the second row. Other notable riders include Marco Bezzecchi in eighth, despite a crash, and Francesco Bagnaia in eleventh place, struggling with over seven-tenths of a second deficit.
