More from a press release issued by WSBK:

HOME DOUBLE: Booth-Amos makes it two from two at Donington Park, Arenas P2 as Masia snatches late P3. The #69 lands his first-ever double win in dramatic fashion at home while Arenas takes solid points to add to his lead.

The FIM Supersport World Championship is packing up from Donington Park after a glowing final race at the British venue. Tom Booth-Amos claimed his second victory of the weekend in Race 2 of the Prosecco DOC UK Round. Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team) was clinical as ever, finishing with a clean P2 for the second time in the round while Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura) earned third place, taking his sixth podium of the season after crashing out of Race 1.

THREE-WAY BATTLE FOR THE RACE WIN

Aldi Mahendra shot up from P9 to claim the holeshot, again showing tremendous pace at lights out. Oncu chased him into Redgate from his P6 start, ahead of polesitter Booth-Amos. Oncu led the pack throughout the first five laps, backing up the pack as the #69 and others nipped at his heels. With 11 laps left, the Englishman made his way past the #61 at the Old Hairpin. Arenas paced himself across the first half of the race, riding in third place until Oncu and Booth-Amos made contact at the Melbourne Hairpin on Lap 9. The Spaniard seized the opportunity, holding the lead until the Turk made his way past on the next lap. By Lap 15, Booth-Amos had recovered from the contact with the Turk, leading the race by more than a second at the outset of Lap 16. He sailed clear from there on his way to his third-ever WorldSSP race win. Arenas took another great result for his title hopes, banking 20 points from P2 and building his lead to 82 points with four rounds left. Masia fell as far back as P8 by Lap 2 after starting from P5, turning on the afterburners to climb back into fifth position ahead of Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing) as the race passed the two-thirds mark. With two laps to go, Masia passed the #61 for P4, before making a late move into Goddards in the last corner before the chequered flag, closing a rollercoaster Race 2 with an 11th career WorldSSP podium.

MAHIAS RIGHTS THE SHIP

Roberto Garcia (GMT94 Yamaha) started the contest from fourth place; he rode in P3 late on, but a desperate final sector play from Masia shuffled him off the podium and back to P4 for his third fourth place in the last two rounds. After struggling over the last two rounds, Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha) 1’29.082s lap in Race 1 sent him to a P2 start in Race 2, and the Frenchman did well to convert it to a P5 finish to stabilise his season. Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) closes Kawasaki’s best weekend in WorldSSP of this season as he finished Race 2 in P6.

Mahendra slipped out of podium contention after dropping to fifth by the end of the opening lap, dropping two more positions over the race from there to finish P7. Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) fell all the way down to eighth by the end of the race, a tough break for the Turk who led for nearly a third of the race. Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) did well late on to make his way past Debise for P9 on the final lap to complement his Race 1 P6 finish. Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing) started from P8 and climbed as high as P6, but finished P10. The Chinese manufacturer has been untouchable on their day in their rookie season; however, similar to Debise’s pair of P8s from Aragon, the #53 and ZXMOTO couldn’t quite put it all together at Donington Park.

MotoGP: Successful Surgery For Bezzecchi

Aprilia Racing confirm the #72 has had successful surgery on his collarbone.

After his Q2 crash, Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) returned to Italy on Saturday to undergo surgery to fix his broken collarbone – ruled out of the remainder of the German GP.

On Sunday, Aprilia Racing confirmed that the surgery, performed at the University Hospital of Sassuolo, was a success and that the #72 is on the mend. The team say they hope to see Bezzecchi return to racing at the next GP at Silverstone but that they’ll give a more definitive prognosis soon as his recovery continues.

MotoGP: World Championship Race Results From Sachsenring

Pedro Acosta crossed the finish line fourth on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16.

Jorge Martin took fifth on his Aprilia Racing RS-GP26.

Jorge Martin leads the championship with 208 points, 14 ahead of Ai Ogura who has 194 points. Marc Marquez is third with 190 points.

More from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Game on: Marc Marquez pockets perfect Sachsenring weekend to ignite title charge. A 10th MotoGP win in Germany sees the reigning World Champion move up to P3 in the standings; SuperFile Trackhouse celebrate a double rostrum, while big Ducati names crash.

Was it ever in doubt? MotoGP win number 10 at the Sachsenring. Career win 102. And from 102 points back after the Italian GP, Marc Marquez and the Ducati Lenovo Team are right back in the title race game. It’s a victory that lifts the reigning World Champion up to P3 in the overall standings, one place behind second place finisher Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team), as the Japanese sophomore notches up a third Sunday podium on the spin to get within 20 points of championship frontrunner Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing). And for the second Grand Prix in a row, SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP celebrate a double podium thanks to Raul Fernandez’s efforts to finish in P3.

THE START: MM93 LEADS

From pole, just like he did in the Sprint, Marc Marquez got away from the line well and held onto the lead into Turn 1, with Alex Marquez keeping the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP duo behind him – Ai Ogura leading Raul Fernandez, with Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) dropping a couple of places to P5.

A little further back, World Championship leader Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing), Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) had got the better of Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) by the end of Lap 2 of 30.

DUCATI DUO OUT: DI GIANNANTONIO & ALEX MARQUEZ

Early drama then unfolded at the front, as Di Giannantonio’s Grand Prix ended at Turn 10. The front end slid away from the Italian as he shadowed Ogura, and that’s big points lost in the championship. A chance at leading the title race heading into the summer break gone. Diggia’s first DNF of the season promoted Acosta to P5, who was now ahead of Martin after the #37 launched a classy move up the inside of the Aprilia star at Turn 1.

Another Ducati rider was then sliding out of contention. This time, at Turn 13 on Lap 9, it was Alex Marquez. It was another front-end fall, and having looked very comfortable in P2, it was no double podium in Germany for the #73. This left Marc Marquez with a 1.4s buffer to Fernandez, with Acosta trying to pile on the pressure to third place Ogura.

THE RUN TO THE FLAG

At the end of Lap 16, Marquez’s lead over Fernandez rose to 1.8s, and it crept up to the two-second mark by the time we clicked onto Lap 20. At this stage, Ogura had resisted the Acosta threat and was now targeting a pass on teammate Fernandez for P2, while the KTM star was over four seconds ahead of Martin and Bagnaia.

With Marquez 2.2s up the road, focus was on two battles behind – Fernandez vs Ogura, and Martin vs Pecco. In the Trackhouse tussle, Ogura pounced at Turn 1 and began stretching his legs in P2, with the 2023 and 2024 title race rivals getting busy in the closing stages, and in terms of the championship, this was big.

Something else that was seismic was the double victory for Marc Marquez. The King of the Ring keeps his crown. A record-equalling (with Hall of Famer Giacomo Agostini) 10th MotoGP win at a single circuit, and a 37-point weekend that sees the reigning World Champion climb up to P3 in the standings, four clear of the absent Marco Bezzecchi(Aprilia Racing), having been over 100 adrift leaving Mugello. Back in the game? You bet.

Ogura once again showed late race supremacy to back up his Assen victory with a Sachsenring P2, on another weekend to remember for SuperFile Trackhouse as Fernandez hands the American squad another double Sunday podium. The Japanese rider now sits P2 in the standings, 14 points away from Martin.

YOUR GERMAN GP POINT SCORERS

Acosta’s return following his Carpal Tunnel Syndrome surgery ends with a gutsy P4, with Martin digging deep to keep Pecco behind him at the flag. 0.123s split the #89 and #63 over the line, as Martin heads into the summer break as the World Championship leader by that aforementioned 14-point gap.

Quartararo brought his Yamaha home in a commendable P7, as Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol), Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3), and Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) closed out the German GP top 10.

Rookie Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR), Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP), Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team), Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP), and Toprak Razgatlioglu (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) picked up the final points on offer at the Sachsenring, with Cal Crutchlow (Castrol Honda LCR), Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) non-finishers.

COMING UP: SUMMER BREAK, THEN SILVERSTONE

Three weekends away from racing now race over the horizon, before we pick up this enthralling MotoGP title fight at the legendary Silverstone Circuit. Martin leads Ogura by 14. Marc Marquez is hunting. And how fit will Bezzecchi be? See you after the break at the British GP.

Moto2: World Championship Race Results From Sachsenring

Ivan Ortola won the FIM Moto2 World Championship race Sunday at Sachsenring, in Germany. Riding his QJMOTOR -R.O.M.E.A – MSI Kalex on Pirelli control tires, the Spaniard won the 25-lap race by 0.614 second.

Daniel Holgado was the runner-up on his CFMOTO Azul Marino Aspar Team Kalex.

Izan Guevara was a close third on his BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Boscoscuro.

Senna Agius finished fourth on his Liqui Moly Dynavolt IntactGP Kalex.

Taiyo Furusato took fifth on his Idemitsu Honda Team Asia Kalex.

American Joe Roberts finished Sunday’s race 12th on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex.

Manuel Gonzalez leads the championship with 195.5 points, 51.5 ahead of Izan Guevara who has 115 points. Senna Agius is third with 136 points.

More, from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Ortola fends off Holgado for Sachsenring victory, Alonso crashes. It’s two wins in three for the in-form Spaniard as Guevara completes the podium, with Gonzalez collecting his worst result of the season.

It’s two wins in the last three for Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR – R.O.M.E.A – MSI) after the Spaniard dug deep to fend off the challenge of compatriot Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Azul Marino Aspar Team) in an intense Sachsenring battle. It’s important points gained for third place Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2), while World Championship pacesetter Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) is forced to settle for P6 in a race which also saw David Alonso (CFMOTO Azul Marino Aspar Team) crash out of P4.

Ortola got the jump off the line he would have wanted; it was the holeshot for the polesitter, as Guevara held onto P2 by hanging it around the outside of Gonzalez at Turn 1. It wasn’t the opening lap the championship leader would have wanted because by the end of it, he was shuffled down to P5 behind Holgado and teammate Senna Agius, and then at Turn 1 on Lap 2, Alonso had a bite at the cherry too to climb into P5.

At the start of Lap 8, it was pretty much as you were at the front. Ortola led from Holgado, who had passed Guevara a couple of laps prior, with Agius and Alonso keeping their powder dry in P4 and P5. Gonzalez was 0.9s away from Alonso’s rear wheel in P6, with the top six split by a couple of seconds.

On Lap 17 of 25, Alonso was the first to make a move for quite some time. The Colombian carved up the inside of Agius at Turn 1 to jump into P4, but on the next lap at Turn 3, Alonso’s podium hopes ended with a highside. The Dutch GP winner lit up the rear, the bike chucked him off and out of the race, but thankfully Alonso was up on his feet and OK – but that’s a hammer blow to the #80’s title charge.

With four laps to go, it looked like it was Ortola vs Holgado for victory. Guevara’s pace was dropping off in P3, the gap now 1.3s to Holgado, with Agius and Gonzalez unable to get themselves into the podium equation. Instead, rookie Taiyo Furusato (IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia) was reeling in two of our 2026 race winners.

Right, two to go. Ortola vs Holgado. The latter was piling on the pressure, but no move came on the penultimate lap. Would it come on the last lap though? The duo were on the absolute limit, crying out for a bit of rear grip, and in the end, Ortola managed to fend off Holgado, who couldn’t hook up a move at the final corner.

Guevara was a lonely P3 in the end to pick up 16 crucial points in the championship, as Agius clinched P4 – but only just. A phenomenal final few laps from Furusato saw the Japanese star pass World Championship leader Gonzalez and then finish just 0.059s behind Agius to collect his best Moto2 result to date. Gonzalez, meanwhile, pocketed his worst result of the season in P6. Both he and Agius’ pace in the closing stages dropped off a cliff, and while Gonzalez remains the dominant championship leader heading into the summer, it’s a small number of points lost in Germany.

Filip Salač (OnlyFans American Racing Team) was just 0.2s away from Gonzalez in P7, with the Czech rider leading home Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Jose Antonio Rueda and Collin Veijer in P8 and P9, with rookie Luca Lunetta (MB Conveyors SpeedRS Team) picking up his second top 10 of the season in P10.

Gonzalez now heads to Silverstone with a 51.5-point lead over Guevara, as we look forward to the Moto2 title fight reigniting in the UK.

Moto3: World Championship Race Results From Sachsenring

Brian Uriarte won the FIM Moto3 World Championship race Sunday at Sachsenring, in Germany. Using his Red Bull KTM Ajo machine, the Spaniard won the 23-lap race by just 0.063 second.

Maximo Quiles was the runner-up on his CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team KTM.

Matteo Bertelle was third on his LEVEL UP MTA KTM, 5.053 seconds behind race winner Uriarte.

Quiles’ teammate, Marco Morelli crossed the finish line fourth and Rico Salmela got fifth on his Red Bull KTM Tech3 machine.

Maximo Quiles leads the championship with 231 points, 104 ahead of Brian Uriarte who has 127 points. Alvaro Carpe is third with 126 points.

More, from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Uriarte defeats Quiles for Moto3 win in Sachsenring classic. The rookie beat the Championship leader in a head-to-head ding-dong battle on the final lap.

Moto3 never fails to deliver the goods and Sunday morning at the Sachsenring was no exception as Brian Uriarte (Red Bull KTM Ajo) converted his pole position for a second victory of 2026. A late error from Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) saw the Spaniard have to settle for P2 but increases his Championship lead whilst it was a second rostrum of 2026 for Matteo Bertelle (LEVELUP-MTA) who claimed third.

Getting a fantastic launch from pole, Uriarte grabbed the holeshot ahead of Hakim Danish (AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI) before Marco Morelli (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) fired it up the inside at Turn 7. There was big drama at Turn 1 with a crash at the start of Lap 2 for Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Marcos Uriarte (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) whilst Nicola Carraro and Joel Kelso went into the gravel. Uriarte and Carraro were able to rejoin but Perrone’s Grand Prix was done.

Five laps in and there was a breakaway group of five at the front with Uriarte leading well ahead of Quiles and Carpe. Rico Salmela (Red Bull KTM Tech3) was having a cracking Grand Prix in fourth whilst Morelli was hanging back in P5. Further back, Casey O’Gorman (SIC58 Squadra Corse) fell at Turn 3 whilst a lap later, Scott Ogden (CIP GreenPower) joined him; both were able to rejoin.

There was a big crash from the battle for P7 as Adrian Cruces (CIP GreenPower) highsided, leaving Joel Esteban (LEVELUP-MTA) nowhere to go and both tumbled through the gravel and were thankfully OK. Back at the front, there was now a gap between Uriarte and Quiles in first and second and then Salmela, Carpe and Morelli behind. On Lap 12, Carpe had a huge moment at Turn 7 and some how kept it upright but dropped out of the podium battle and into P11. Three laps later, it was teammate Uriarte’s turn for an error as he went wide through Turn 2, giving Quiles the lead – but only for a few corners as the Championship leader seemingly let him back through up at Turn 5.

As the two at the front battled, Bertelle had done a cracking job to catch Morelli and Salmela and on Lap 18, got himself into P4. Four to go and Quiles pounced, taking over at the front but Uriarte was glued to his rear wheel. Both riding to the limit, a true Moto3 head-to-head was incoming.

At Turn 3 on the final lap, Quiles had a front-end moment, giving Uriarte the chance to go through; it was all building to the final sector. Both were on the limit but Quiles just couldn’t get through. Uriarte resisted the Championship leader’s charge to take a second Grand Prix win of his career and to move up into P2 overall in the standings. Behind both at the front, Bertelle drafted by Morelli on the run to the line for a second podium of the season whilst Salmela took fifth, a joint-best finish of his rookie season. Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) took top Honda honours in P6 ahead of Jesus Rios (Rivacold Snipers Team), Veda Pratama (Honda Team Asia), Ryusei Yamanaka (AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI) with a first top ten of 2026 and Eddie O’Shea (GRYD Racing).

104 points in the lead going into summer, Quiles will be able to relax a little bit before we get back on track for Silverstone from the 7^th – 9^th of August. Can anyone catch the Championship leader in the second half of the season or will his prowess continue? Join us in the UK to find out!

WSSP SUPERPOLE RACE

wsbk ChampionshipStandings

More from a press release issued by WorldSBK:

BACK ON TOP: Bulega beats Montella for first Donington victory after Lecuona crashes from P1. Bulega’s victory, coupled with Bimota finishing P4 and P5, means the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati team have secured the 2026 Teams’ Championship.

Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) returned to the top step of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship rostrum in a dramatic Tissot Superpole Race at Donington Park, passing Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) on Lap 5 to claim victory after teammate Iker Lecuona crashed out from the lead of the race on Lap 2. The podium for the 10-lap race in the Prosecco DOC UK Round was completed by Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team).

LECUONA CRASHES FROM P1, BULEGA WINS

In a repeat of Race 1, Lecuona got a superb start to take the lead at Turn 1, with Bulega demoted to P3 as Montella came through at the opening turn of the track as well. The #7 immediately pulled out a gap over Montella to eight tenths across Lap 1. However, at the end of Lap 2, Lecuona crashed at Turn 12 from P1, putting Montella into first place ahead of Bulega. Although he was able to re-join the race, at the back of the field, he opted to bring his bike into the pits at the end of Lap 7 to retire. On Lap 5, Bulega made a lunge on Montella at Turn 11 to claim the lead, with both running wide, but Sam Lowes was unable to take advantage of that when running in third. Bulega immediately pulled out a gap over a second on the #5, while Montella had to resist home hero Sam Lowes for P2. However, the #14 wasn’t able to challenge the Italian, with Bulega, Montella and Sam Lowes securing podium finishes – and a front row start for Race 2. Bulega’s victory means the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati squad have wrapped up the 2026 Teams’ Championship.

FIERCE FIGHTS AT DONINGTON

The fight for fourth went to the wire between the two bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team riders, with Axel Bassani attempting a move at Turn 11 on the final lap on Alex Lowes, but the #22 was able to cut back and secure P4 ahead of ‘El Bocia’. Lorenzo Baldassarri (Team GoEleven) was another who made a late comeback as he passed Xavi Vierge (Pata Maxus Yamaha) in the final laps to finish in sixth, while Tommy Bridewell (Superbike Advocates) also got ahead of the Yamaha rider on the final lap to take P7; Vierge was the only rider starting in the top 11 positions to use the SCQ, with everyone else on the SCX.

FINISHING IN THE TOP TEN

Vierge was classified in eighth place, just three tenths behind Bridewell, but he had a healthy margin over Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) in ninth. The Texan rider secured a third-row start for Race 2 by getting ahead of Jonathan Rea (Honda HRC) in the second half of the 10-lap race, with the #65 missing out on a top-nine by around a second.

Beatriz Neila won FIM World Women’s Circuit Racing Race 2 Sunday afternoon at Donington Park, in England. Riding her Ampito Crescent Yamaha YZF-R7 on Pirelli control tires, Neila won the 12-lap race by 5.874 seconds.

Maria Herrera was the runner-up on her Terra & Vita GRT Yamaha YZF-R7, and Roberta Ponziani got third on her Klint Racing Team Yamaha YZF-R7, 7.298 seconds behind race winner Neila.

American Mallory Dobbs suffered a mechanical issue on her YVS Sabadell Diva Racing Yamaha YZF-R7 and did not finish the race.

Maria Herrera leads the championship with 226 points, 44 ahead of Beatriz Neila who has 182 points. Roberta Ponziani is third with 118 points.

WWCR RACE2

WWCR ChampionshipStandings

More from a press release issued by WSBK:

TITLE RACE CONTINUES: Neila victorious from P10 after Herrera penalised for last-lap Ramos contact. A dramatic twist on Lap 1 on Saturday, followed by a twist on the final lap on Sunday as Neila returns to the podium.

Beatriz Neila (Ampito Crescent Yamaha) sends the career FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship title fight to Jerez as she won Race 2 at the Prosecco DOC UK Round after a monumental recovery ride up from a P10 start. Maria Herrera (Terra & Vita GRT Yamaha WorldWCR) crossed the line in first, but after being applied a penalty for making contact on the final lap with Paola Ramos (Klint Racing Team), she was demoted to P2. Rounding off the podium, Roberta Ponziani (Klint Racing Team) inherited P3 after the final-lap crash from her teammate and earned her second podium of the season at Donington Park.

NEILA COMPLETES HER RECOVERY RUN

Herrera shot off the line for an uncontested holeshot ahead of Ramos. The #58 later that lap slid into first place on Turn 4 before Herrera got back in front on the Fogarty Esses. Ramos replicated the move on Turn 4 of Lap 2; however, again Herrera struck back on the Turn 9-10 chicane. Ramos gave chase, but over the first three laps, the #6 began to pull away, hovering around a second clear of the field.

By the outset of Lap 10, Neila had climbed up from a P10 grid start to P6. That same lap, she pulled off a two-for-one move on the brakes into the Foggy Esses on Muklada Sarapuech (Yamaha AD78 FIMLA by EEST NJT Racing) and Chloe Jones (Monster Energy Crescent Yamaha) to claim P4. With seven laps to go, she slid past Roberta Ponziani (Klint Racing Team) into the Foggy Esses for third place. Neila then tailed the #58, who was making progress in chipping away at the #6’s gap. With two laps to go, Ramos pulled herself up to briefly overtake the #6. On the final lap, Ramos made her way alongside Herrera on Turn 6, but Herrera went bar to bar and made contact, sending the #58 into the grass. Neila closed onto the back of the leading pair over the final lap but was unable to pass Herrera on track. Although the #6 crossed the line first, the FIM Stewards handed Herrera a six-second penalty for Irresponsible Riding following her contact with Ramos. The penalty dropped Herrera to second, promoted Neila to victory and ensured the title fight will go down to the season finale at Jerez. Ponziani also inherited third place in the race, moving into third as well in the Riders’ Championship one point ahead of Ramos.

JONES CLOSES DONINGTON IN P4

Sarapuech started the race from P3, but she was unable to match the strong pace set by the Klint Racing machines, falling back to P5 after they each passed. She led Jones from P4 on the final lap, until crashing out of the race on Turn 9, resulting in a trip to the medical centre where she is undergoing assessment. Jones was similarly swallowed up by the pack at lights out, falling two positions farther back to P6 by Lap 4. She made it up to P5, but she couldn’t find the pace to catch the Thai rookie nor the podium fight ahead of the #12; after the #12’s crash, she improved to P4, her best result since her Misano Race 1 podium. Sara Sanchez (Hadden Racing Team) finished the round in P5, her second P5 of the weekend. Pakita Ruiz (PR46+1 Racing Team) improved on her P9 from Race 1 to a P6 on Sunday afternoon.

MADRIGAL LANDS P7

Astrid Madrigal (Pons Italika Racing FIMLA) crossed the line in P7 just a tenth behind Ruiz, and a tenth ahead of Yvonne Cerpa (MotosCerpa-Gradara Corse) in P8.

Albert Arenas was the runner-up on his AS BLU CRU Racing Team Yamaha YZF-R9, and Jaume Masia got third on his Orelac Racing Verdnatura Ducati Panigale V2.

Former MotoAmerica regular Valentin Debise finished 10th on his Eastroc Evan Bros ZXMOTO 820RR.

Albert Arenas leads the championship with 291 points, 82 ahead of Valentin Debise who has 209 points. Jaume Masia is third with 195 points.

WSSP RACE 2

WSSP ChampionshipStandings

More from a press release issued by WSBK:

HOME DOUBLE: Booth-Amos makes it two from two at Donington Park, Arenas P2 as Masia snatches late P3. The #69 lands his first-ever double win in dramatic fashion at home while Arenas takes solid points to add to his lead.

The FIM Supersport World Championship is packing up from Donington Park after a glowing final race at the British venue. Tom Booth-Amos claimed his second victory of the weekend in Race 2 of the Prosecco DOC UK Round. Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team) was clinical as ever, finishing with a clean P2 for the second time in the round while Jaume Masia (Orelac Racing VerdNatura) earned third place, taking his sixth podium of the season after crashing out of Race 1.

THREE-WAY BATTLE FOR THE RACE WIN

Aldi Mahendra shot up from P9 to claim the holeshot, again showing tremendous pace at lights out. Oncu chased him into Redgate from his P6 start, ahead of polesitter Booth-Amos. Oncu led the pack throughout the first five laps, backing up the pack as the #69 and others nipped at his heels. With 11 laps left, the Englishman made his way past the #61 at the Old Hairpin. Arenas paced himself across the first half of the race, riding in third place until Oncu and Booth-Amos made contact at the Melbourne Hairpin on Lap 9. The Spaniard seized the opportunity, holding the lead until the Turk made his way past on the next lap. By Lap 15, Booth-Amos had recovered from the contact with the Turk, leading the race by more than a second at the outset of Lap 16. He sailed clear from there on his way to his third-ever WorldSSP race win. Arenas took another great result for his title hopes, banking 20 points from P2 and building his lead to 82 points with four rounds left. Masia fell as far back as P8 by Lap 2 after starting from P5, turning on the afterburners to climb back into fifth position ahead of Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing) as the race passed the two-thirds mark. With two laps to go, Masia passed the #61 for P4, before making a late move into Goddards in the last corner before the chequered flag, closing a rollercoaster Race 2 with an 11th career WorldSSP podium.

MAHIAS RIGHTS THE SHIP

Roberto Garcia (GMT94 Yamaha) started the contest from fourth place; he rode in P3 late on, but a desperate final sector play from Masia shuffled him off the podium and back to P4 for his third fourth place in the last two rounds. After struggling over the last two rounds, Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha) 1’29.082s lap in Race 1 sent him to a P2 start in Race 2, and the Frenchman did well to convert it to a P5 finish to stabilise his season. Jeremy Alcoba (Kawasaki WorldSSP Team) closes Kawasaki’s best weekend in WorldSSP of this season as he finished Race 2 in P6.

Mahendra slipped out of podium contention after dropping to fifth by the end of the opening lap, dropping two more positions over the race from there to finish P7. Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing) fell all the way down to eighth by the end of the race, a tough break for the Turk who led for nearly a third of the race. Philipp Oettl (Feel Racing WorldSSP Team) did well late on to make his way past Debise for P9 on the final lap to complement his Race 1 P6 finish. Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Factory Evan Bros Racing) started from P8 and climbed as high as P6, but finished P10. The Chinese manufacturer has been untouchable on their day in their rookie season; however, similar to Debise’s pair of P8s from Aragon, the #53 and ZXMOTO couldn’t quite put it all together at Donington Park.

Aprilia Racing confirm the #72 has had successful surgery on his collarbone.

After his Q2 crash, Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) returned to Italy on Saturday to undergo surgery to fix his broken collarbone – ruled out of the remainder of the German GP.

On Sunday, Aprilia Racing confirmed that the surgery, performed at the University Hospital of Sassuolo, was a success and that the #72 is on the mend. The team say they hope to see Bezzecchi return to racing at the next GP at Silverstone but that they’ll give a more definitive prognosis soon as his recovery continues.

Pedro Acosta crossed the finish line fourth on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16.

Jorge Martin took fifth on his Aprilia Racing RS-GP26.

MOTOGP RACE

More from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Game on: Marc Marquez pockets perfect Sachsenring weekend to ignite title charge. A 10th MotoGP win in Germany sees the reigning World Champion move up to P3 in the standings; SuperFile Trackhouse celebrate a double rostrum, while big Ducati names crash.

Was it ever in doubt? MotoGP win number 10 at the Sachsenring. Career win 102. And from 102 points back after the Italian GP, Marc Marquez and the Ducati Lenovo Team are right back in the title race game. It’s a victory that lifts the reigning World Champion up to P3 in the overall standings, one place behind second place finisher Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team), as the Japanese sophomore notches up a third Sunday podium on the spin to get within 20 points of championship frontrunner Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing). And for the second Grand Prix in a row, SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP celebrate a double podium thanks to Raul Fernandez’s efforts to finish in P3.

THE START: MM93 LEADS

From pole, just like he did in the Sprint, Marc Marquez got away from the line well and held onto the lead into Turn 1, with Alex Marquez keeping the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP duo behind him – Ai Ogura leading Raul Fernandez, with Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) dropping a couple of places to P5.

A little further back, World Championship leader Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing), Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) had got the better of Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) by the end of Lap 2 of 30.

DUCATI DUO OUT: DI GIANNANTONIO & ALEX MARQUEZ

Early drama then unfolded at the front, as Di Giannantonio’s Grand Prix ended at Turn 10. The front end slid away from the Italian as he shadowed Ogura, and that’s big points lost in the championship. A chance at leading the title race heading into the summer break gone. Diggia’s first DNF of the season promoted Acosta to P5, who was now ahead of Martin after the #37 launched a classy move up the inside of the Aprilia star at Turn 1.

Another Ducati rider was then sliding out of contention. This time, at Turn 13 on Lap 9, it was Alex Marquez. It was another front-end fall, and having looked very comfortable in P2, it was no double podium in Germany for the #73. This left Marc Marquez with a 1.4s buffer to Fernandez, with Acosta trying to pile on the pressure to third place Ogura.

THE RUN TO THE FLAG

At the end of Lap 16, Marquez’s lead over Fernandez rose to 1.8s, and it crept up to the two-second mark by the time we clicked onto Lap 20. At this stage, Ogura had resisted the Acosta threat and was now targeting a pass on teammate Fernandez for P2, while the KTM star was over four seconds ahead of Martin and Bagnaia.

With Marquez 2.2s up the road, focus was on two battles behind – Fernandez vs Ogura, and Martin vs Pecco. In the Trackhouse tussle, Ogura pounced at Turn 1 and began stretching his legs in P2, with the 2023 and 2024 title race rivals getting busy in the closing stages, and in terms of the championship, this was big.

Something else that was seismic was the double victory for Marc Marquez. The King of the Ring keeps his crown. A record-equalling (with Hall of Famer Giacomo Agostini) 10th MotoGP win at a single circuit, and a 37-point weekend that sees the reigning World Champion climb up to P3 in the standings, four clear of the absent Marco Bezzecchi(Aprilia Racing), having been over 100 adrift leaving Mugello. Back in the game? You bet.

Ogura once again showed late race supremacy to back up his Assen victory with a Sachsenring P2, on another weekend to remember for SuperFile Trackhouse as Fernandez hands the American squad another double Sunday podium. The Japanese rider now sits P2 in the standings, 14 points away from Martin.

YOUR GERMAN GP POINT SCORERS

Acosta’s return following his Carpal Tunnel Syndrome surgery ends with a gutsy P4, with Martin digging deep to keep Pecco behind him at the flag. 0.123s split the #89 and #63 over the line, as Martin heads into the summer break as the World Championship leader by that aforementioned 14-point gap.

Quartararo brought his Yamaha home in a commendable P7, as Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol), Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3), and Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) closed out the German GP top 10.

Rookie Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR), Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP), Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team), Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP), and Toprak Razgatlioglu (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) picked up the final points on offer at the Sachsenring, with Cal Crutchlow (Castrol Honda LCR), Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) non-finishers.

COMING UP: SUMMER BREAK, THEN SILVERSTONE

Three weekends away from racing now race over the horizon, before we pick up this enthralling MotoGP title fight at the legendary Silverstone Circuit. Martin leads Ogura by 14. Marc Marquez is hunting. And how fit will Bezzecchi be? See you after the break at the British GP.
