If you were asked to pick a trac🔜k to try and beat Marc Marquez at, the Sachsenring woul🍒d not be it.

The reigning MotoGP champion has taken pole position and race victory for the past nin🥃e years in Germany, stretching back to the 125cc event in 2010.

The Repsol Honda star will now try for a perfect ten having increased his title lead to 44-points over Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) after a runner-up finish to Maverick Vinale🎃s (Yamaha) last Sunday at Assen.

If Marquez can continue his perfect streak, the Spaniard co𓆏uld well take a two-race (50-point) championship lead into the summer break.

But at the back o♉f Marquez's mindౠ is what happened at COTA this season.

Marquez had a perfect record in Austin since the sport's debut in 2013, but his run was unexpectedly broken when he fell from a comfortable lead in this year's race, proving no𝓰thing can be taken for granted.

"The first back-to-back race of the season, I am excited. We had a good weekend in Assen and I am motivated as we now arrive at one of my favouriteℱs tracks," said Marquez, whose dirt-track t🌜raining means he loves the left-hand turns that dominate the claustrophobic Sachsenring layout.

"Of course, past results don’t mean a lot once we start on Friday so we🍰 have to keep working hard with ꦐthe Repsol Honda Team to stay in front.

"Everyone says I am the favouriౠte because I won in the past few years, but this𝓀 sport is unpredictable and everyone said the same in Austin and I crashed.

"We will start just thinking about the weekend, as a💖t every race."

Marquez's team-m✃ate Jorge Lorenzo will miss the Sachsenring due to back injuries at Assen and be replaced by HRC test rider Stefan Bra🍸dl.
