Here is the starting grid for the 2025 German MotoGP after two injured riders were forced to pull out.
Maverick Vinales and Franco Morbidelli sustained injuries on Saturday which means they won’t race on Sunday in the grand prix.
Morbidelli hurt a collarbone in a nasty crash in the sprint race.
Vinales sustained a shoulder injury after a big highside in qualifying.
Also absent are Enea Bastianini (due to illness) and Somkiat Chantra (knee injury).
It means only 18 riders will line up for the German MotoGP, including Lorenzo Savadori who is the replacement for Aprilia’s injured Jorge Martin.
Marc Marquez will start on pole aiming to extend his dominance.
Pedro Acosta is the first rider to be boosted further forwards, from fifth to fourth, by one spot due to Morbidelli’s absence.
