MotoGP™ is on notice that Marc Márquez is back as the Sachsenring king returns to the top step of the podium for the first time since 2019.
After three complex arm surgeries following his crash at the season-opening 2020 Spanish MotoGP™, Márquez has suffered a long and painful journey back to fitness. But in one of the most impressive sporting comebacks in recent memory, the six-time premier class champion absolutely bossed the German MotoGP™ for an emotional first win since the end of the 2019 season.
It's been 518 days since Márquez last tasted MotoGP™ victory, but he looked every inch his old self as he resisted pressure from one of this year's breakout stars, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Miguel Oliveira. The Portuguese rider looked to reel in Márquez, but couldn't do enough to break the Honda rider's advantage. The winner of the previous race in Catalunya can be satisfied with another visit to the podium, however.
The result means that Márquez becomes the fifth different winner of a GP this year and also that the Honda rider has triumphed every time he's raced at the Sachsenring. That equates to 11 wins in all classes, eight in the premier, at the storied German circuit. More importantly for Márquez, though, it's a just reward for many months of pain and uncertainty.
In qualifying, Pramac Ducati's Johann Zarco claimed a commanding pole position, but on race day the French rider was already down in third by the time the pack exited the opening sequence of tight corners, as Aprilia's Aleix Espargaró snatched the lead, followed by a resurgent Márquez.
By the beginning of lap two, the MotoGP™ world was once again witnessing a sight that's been familiar for the last decade – the Honda of Márquez leading a premier class motorcycle race. Behind, the Ducati's of Zarco and Jack Miller battled it out for the final podium place.
A few 10ths back from the top three, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing were hunting in a pack, with Catalunya race winner Oliveira leading team-mate Brad Binder towards the sharp end. Oliveira soon passed championship leader Fabio Quartararo on lap five to take over fifth, while Binder’s progress was particularly notable, as he surged from 13th to within sight of the leaders in just a handful of laps.
At the beginning of lap eight, Miller made his move on Zarco to grab third place and half a lap later Miller was right with second place man Espargaró, just as the widely expected rain finally began to fall lightly. The Australian seized the moment and took over second from the Aprilia rider.
Sensing his opportunity as rain threatened, by lap 10 Márquez had pulled out a 1.5-second lead, as Miller came under heavy pressure from Oliveira. One lap later Márquez had added another couple of tenths to his advantage and Oliveira rode past Miller into second place.
On lap 15, the halfway point of the race, the gap between leader Márquez and Oliveira was tantalisingly poised around two seconds, with both men showing scintillating speed and putting in fastest laps. With 11 laps remaining the gap suddenly dropped by half a second, as Oliveira put the hammer down. All eyes were on the gap and with eight laps left to run it was down to just over one second, Oliveira producing great pace out of the final corner to keep the heat on Márquez.
The big question was could the still recovering Márquez maintain his concentration and fitness to hold on at this incredibly physical circuit?
The answer was yes. At the end of lap 30, Márquez claimed his 57th premier class win amid emotional celebrations in the Repsol Honda garage, leading home the impressive Oliveira, with Quartararo taking third to maintain his lead in the championship standings.
Away from Márquez’s remarkable return, Oliveira maintained his and KTM's fantastic run, following up from victory last time in Catalunya to score a third consecutive podium. His team-mate Binder kept up his good form with a fourth place finish, while the factory Ducati of Francesco Bagnaia took fifth ahead of championship hopeful Miller.
Fellow championship challenger and pole position winner Zarco ended up eighth and the French rider will look to get back on track at the next race, the Dutch TT, in just seven days to keep pace in the title fight.

I stopped watching moto GP because of him always winning, but seeing that he's able to go back to do what he loves, is just awesome

I'm not a Marquez fan, but I can say nothing about him but that he's a worthy champion, a classy champion and a wonderful student of the sport. I know we're all privileged to be watching the sport in his era

Its so cool to hear marc talk about how he confided in mick doohan of all people for advice. One legend talking to another! One should never forget those who came before and its humbling to know that marc, as brilliant as he is, acknowledges that.

Marc is the best Motogp rider ever - he rides on the edge of time, speed and bike limits, riding style is so cool and his crashes are better than Hollywood stunts and its amazing to see him back.. on Top.

It's something to see someone come back and realize the struggle inside. It changed him. No longer invincible or indestructible. That's a one way personal journey he has to make, and he's still not fully in control of anything that happens next.
