After the lunch break, the pace increased somewhat on a Sachsenring track which had just warmed to a little over 16°. But the lap times are still slower than those of last year at the same stage of the competition. As for the falls, they were part of the landscape.
Here are the circuit references:
| Sachsenring | 2015 | 2016 |
| FP1 | 1'27.026 Danny Kent | 1'28.196 Romano Fenati |
| FP2 | 1'26.937 Danny Kent | |
| FP3 | 1'26.174 Danny Kent | |
| Q | 1'26.420 Danny Kent | |
| Course | Kent/Vazquez/Bastianini | |
| Track record | 1'26.174 Danny Kent |
It is bastianini who will have the honor of finishing this first day of the German Grand Prix in the Moto3 version in the lead. The teammate of a Di Giannantonio who is asserting himself more and more in the box Gresini is ahead of a fenati best performer this morning but who finished his session under the bike of a Norrodin with whom he had just hooked up. The Italian will recover unscathed and is, along with the Malaysian, among the six drivers who fell. So Darryn binder at turn 11, Webb at turn 14 and Antonelli and Quarterly at turn 7 also fell.
Open up is in the top three while the top 5 is completed by Rodrigo and the championship leader Brad Binder.
The best Frenchman follows in sixth position and it is
Jules Danilo who is before
Locatelli, first Leopard pilot since
fabio quartararo remains an anonymous twentieth.
Guevara, bagnaia, the latest winner and first conqueror for Mahindra, then
Antonelli complete the top 10.
As for Alexis Masbou, we are happy with the new gearbox since we are fourteenth behind the teammate McPhee and he who returns from injury NAVARRO. At Estrella, we look gloomy since dogt is only nineteenth. We will leave it for today for a Moto3 peloton which left the scene just before the rain returned…
