Practice for the 2026 MotoGP German Grand Prix, Round 11, concluded at the Sachsenring on July 10. Marc Márquez led with a 1:19.394, with Raúl Fernández 0.166 seconds behind and Fabio Di Giannantonio 0.280 seconds adrift.
Marc Márquez reclaimed the top spot in the closing stages, posting a 1:19.394 to beat Raúl Fernández and Di Giannantonio. Miller had matched Márquez’s lap time with less than 15 minutes remaining, before Di Giannantonio took the lead with a 1:19.674. The final round of improvements ultimately settled the order of the top three.
Álex Márquez was fourth, Miller fifth and Ai Ogura sixth. Bezzecchi, Martín, Acosta and Morbidelli filled the remaining four places in the top ten. These results gave the riders direct passage to Q2; they were not the final results of Saturday’s qualifying session and did not directly determine grid positions.
Crutchlow briefly moved into tenth midway through the session, but was soon displaced by Binder and ultimately failed to qualify directly for Q2. Bagnaia, Quartararo, Marini and Mir also dropped into Q1, while Bastianini crashed in the closing stages. Unlike their rivals who had already secured Q2 places, they would first have to fight for the only two available spots on Saturday.
