10:01 That’s all for now. Stay tuned for all the updates on the German GP, including Marquez’s conditions! SEE YOU LATER. GOOD CONTINUATION OF THE DAY from Fabrizio Testa.
09:59 Marquez’s behavior cannot be deciphered. In fact, at the moment it is not clear if the rider has suffered an injury or if he is simply very discouraged by what happened. He has never crashed so much in a GP. The driver returns to the pits with his visor down.
09:58 Marco Bezzecchi was the fastest, lapping with an excellent time of 1:20.999, followed by Jorge Martin (1:21.061) and Pecco Bagnaia (1:21.097). Below are the top ten of the lot

09.30 The engines begin to warm up, the warm up will start in fifteen minutes.
09:26 Marco Bezzecchi is also looking for answers who, after the colorless performance in Mugello, is not finding the pace even in Germany.
09:21 Marc Marquez, or the King of Sachsering, is not finding the right confidence in one of his favorite circuits. It is no coincidence that during the interviews of these hours he appeared particularly irritated. The warm up will be important for him and his team in view of the race.
09:20 The weather conditions seem optimal. At the moment the sky is clear above the Sachsenring with an air temperature of 21 degrees. 28 degrees instead, currently, that of the asphalt.
09:15 Yesterday the Sprint Race was won by a very fast Jorge Martin, who preceded Pecco Bagnaia and Jack Miller. Click here for the short race report.
No one could beat @88jorgemartin today! 👊
Martinator has not only won the #TissotSprint he has also climbed to 2nd in the Championship standings! 🏆#GermanGP 🇩🇪 pic.twitter.com/AYk70jSLrs

09:10 At 9:45 the warm up will begin, the last opportunity to test the conditions of the track and of one’s bikes before the race.
09:06 Hello friends of OA Sport, there are less than forty minutes until the Warm Up starts
How to follow the German GP on TV/streaming – The breaking latest news of qualifications – The starting grid – The breaking latest news of the Sprint Race
Good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the warm-up and the German GP, seventh round of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship. On the trail of Sachsenring a very interesting Sunday is expected, open to any solution. For the centaurs it will not be easy to face 30 giri on a very complicated track due to its left-handedness and narrowness.
Francis Bagnaia, back from second place in the Sprint Race, will have to beware of a Jorge Martin in great form. Yesterday, the Iberian showed off a decidedly interesting race pace, but tire management will have to be understood. Undoubtedly, the choices will be based on the climate in Teutonic territory. In other words, temperatures will be a factor.
It remains to be seen if Fabio Quartararo and Marc Marquez will be able to recover. For the winner of the German race last year and the one who dominated this weekend in the past (11 victories in 13 at present) a reaction is expected, even if neither Yamaha nor Honda are clear on which path to follow for get out of the crisis I’ve been in for some time.
OA Sport offers you the LIVE LIVE of the warm-up and the German GP, seventh round of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship: real-time news and constant updates. The warm-up will start at 09.45, while the race will start from 14.00. Good fun!
