Jorge Martin ends Francesco Bagnaia's five-race winning streak by securing victory in the 2024 German MotoGP Sprint race.

Beginning in the lead position but overtaken by Bagnaia and Miguel Oliveira at the first turn, Martin made a swift comeback by passing them both on the second lap of the 15-lap race.

The Pramac Ducati racer held off challenges from Oliveira, Bagnaia, and Enea Bastianini throughout the rest of the race to secure his first victory since the Le Mans event.

Oliveira achieved his highest MotoGP placement for Trackhouse since his victory at the 2022 Thai Grand Prix with KTM, whereas Bagnaia ended up in third place.

Raul Fernandez, who started next to Oliveira on the front row, couldn't keep up with the speed on his 2023 model bike and fell out of the top ten.

Despite suffering from a broken left index finger and bruised ribs due to a highside crash on Friday, Marc Marquez managed to secure a sixth-place finish on his Gresini bike. Starting from 13th on the grid after not advancing beyond Qualifying 1, he overtook the also injured Maverick Vinales at the last corner.

Eleven-time German Grand Prix champion Marquez faces a challenge to maintain his perfect Sunday MotoGP race record at the Sachsenring, requiring a significant turnaround in his performance tomorrow.

Luca Marini, who has yet to earn a point while riding for Repsol Honda, finished as the highest-placed RC213V rider for the first time, securing 15th position.

Remy Gardner, who has previously finished on the WorldSBK podium, stepped in for the injured Alex Rins at Monster Yamaha and finished in 20th place in his first MotoGP race since 2022.

Newcomer Pedro Acosta veered off course and fell to the last position with only three laps remaining.

Every rider opted for a hard front tire and a soft rear tire for the Sprint, except for Johann Zarco and Takaaki Nakagami from LCR Honda, who selected a medium rear tire.

Following a warm and sunny Saturday, forecasts indicate that temperatures will drop significantly on Sunday.

HRC wild-card rider Stefan Bradl received a three-place grid penalty for the grand prix due to blocking Marc Marquez during Qualifying 1.
