The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team are ready to give it their all at the final MotoGP round before the summer break: the Grand Prix of Germany at the Sachsenring.

Fabio Quartararo arrives in Germany holding 14th place in the championship standings. The narrow and twisty Sachsenring features dramatic elevation changes and predominantly left-hand corners. It is a circuit that presents unique challenges, but one where El Diablo has enjoyed success in the past. His impressive victory on German soil in 2022 – despite feeling under the weather that weekend – as well as third-place finishes in 2021 and in last year's Sprint, followed by a fourth place in the 2025 race, underline that Quartararo has the skills and experience needed to perform strongly at this technical venue.

Álex Rins heads into the German GP encouraged by his ninth-place result at the Dutch GP following a post-race penalty for a rival that promoted the number 42 one position in the revised classification. The Spaniard will be aiming for another top-10 finish this weekend, equalling or improving on his 10th-place result at the Sachsenring last year. Although the German circuit has not traditionally been one of his strongest tracks, Rins did stand on the podium there in 2013 after a convincing victory in Moto3 and took a bronze in the Moto2 class in 2015. The Yamaha rider is determined to add more championship points to his tally and improve on his current 19th-place position in the standings.

The Chemnitz region is renowned for its passion for motorcycle and car racing. Originally, races in the area were held on closed public roads from the 1920s onwards. The modern Sachsenring circuit was built in 1996 to improve safety standards, and it hosted its first MotoGP event two years later. At just 12 metres wide and featuring 13 corners – ten left and three right – it is one of the slowest and most technical circuits on the MotoGP calendar, but its demanding layout consistently delivers exciting racing action.
