Ducati also claimed a perfect podium sweep for the eighth grand prix in succession, with Enea Bastianini 𒀰completing the rostrum in third.

Equal on points after the reigning champion’s Sprint win,ꩵ Bagnaia now breaks 5 point clear of Martin in the world championship.

Front row starter Marc Marquez, who crashed from second place in the Saturday S🥂print, saw his victory hopes end at Turn 1.

Unable to engage his front ride-height device on the grid, Marquez was swamped at the start, then tangled with Fraꦓnco Morbidelli in the braking zone, sending both wide.

Marquez rejoined 13th, the Gresini rider eventually salvaging fourth place at the chequ🐭ered flag as he matched the late race pace of the leaders -ဣ but Bastianini ahead was long gone.

The FIM Stewards ruled ‘no furtꦛher action’ for the Turn 1 incident.

Pole qualifier Martin took the holeshot in hot💎 and sunny conditions ahead of Bagna𝕴ia, albeit with forecasts warning of mid-race rain.

Bastianini made big progress ❀at the start, rising from seventh to third behind team-mate Bagnaia.

The top t🎐hree gradually pulled away from the field but Bastianini began losing touch after 10 of 28 laps and remained in a lonely third.

After his initial attempts to regain the lead were rebuffed, Martin shadowed his opponent until the halfway mark, when Bagnaia♔ put the hammer down.

Behind Bastianini, Brad Binder - another fast sꦫtarter - finished as the top KTM with fifth in their home race, losing𒈔 out to Marquez with ten laps to go.

Binder’s team-mate Jack Miller crashed f🧜rom sixth at the cꦆhicane just before the middle stages, having survived light contact from Marquez a lap earlier.

The lone VR46 machine of Ma🎉rco Bezzecchi wa🌟s sixth.

After Saturday’s podium heroics, Aleix Espargaro lost out on seventh place to team-mate Maverick Vinales, then Morbidelli for e🐻ighth.

Al𒈔ex Marquez completed the top ten ahead of KTM wild-card Pol Espargaro. 

GASGAS rookie Pedro Acosta was a distant 13th.

While dark clouds gathered as the race 🌱w💫ent on, the rain stayed away.

After the soft rear was picked by the frontrunners in the Sprint, all riders chose medium 🎶compound tyres front and rear for✤ the Grand Prix.

Revised tyre pressure rules for 2024 mean riders must now stay above a lower front minimum of 1.8 bar (instead of 1.88) for 60% (instead of 50%) ofꦯ a Grand Prix distance, or 30% o♑f a Sprint.

The penalty for failing to meet this minimum in a Grand Prix will be a 1💖6-second post-race time penalty, or an 8-second penalty for a Sprint/short race.

Test riders Pol Espargaro (KTM), Lorenzo Savadori (Aprilia) and Stefan Bradl (Honda) we♓re all making wild-card appearances this weekend and trying new prototype parts for the future.

High tyre sౠtress at the Sachsenring means Michelin brings a reinforced rear construction for the Red Bull R🍌ing.

Fabio di Giannantonio dislocated his left shoulder in a Friday accident and was ruled unfit for the remainder of the weeke♛nd.

The next MotoGP event, in Aragon, start🃏s at the end of this month.
