If there is a leader of the World Championship who can currently say he is calm, it is that of the Moto3 category Brad Binder. With 48 points ahead of Jorge Navarro who is also recovering from an operation on a broken leg during training, he sees Romano Fenati emerging even further away who is missing the good opportunities to catch up. However, there are still nine appointments to honor.
And the first of these will be this weekend at Sachsenring which will mark the halfway point of the season. A German Grand Prix where the KTM official will want to return to the podium after his relative misstep in Assen. A Dutch race which added the name of a third manufacturer to the specialty list alongside KTM and Honda: Mahindra.
The Indian brand has thus entered the history of motorcycles and its country. With a bagnaia who seems to be the only one to have understood the instructions for use of the MGP30, the ambitions have been revised upwards and the Aspar team could well see itself getting a double blow this Sunday. It will be recalled that the Italian driver, winner of the last Dutch Grand Prix, is fourth in the provisional general standings, behind a Open up first of the beginners in the field, and genuine hope of the VR46 structure.
The young 16-year-old Italian will be keen to show that value does not wait for the number of years by enlivening the Teutonic campaign. It will be followed by Di Giannantonio, who took his second podium in Holland and is now following the lead of his most prestigious teammate bastianini in the championship. A youth which is not only Italian since Canet could have been Assen's sensation without a crash. The Spanish second driver of the Estrella team will be back in Germany.
Last year, the race was won by Danny Kent before Efren Vazquez et bastianini. fenati had failed at the foot of the podium and NAVARRO had settled for sixth place in front Brad Binder et Alexis Masbou. A reminder which gives the opportunity to talk about our three compatriots. Jules Danilo is the one who is in the best shape after having seen the victory up close during the last deadline. Fifteenth a year ago, so he can do better. Masbou will hope for a finally reliable Peugeot-Mahindra while fabio quartararo must now take each Grand Prix as it comes from his tenth place in the championship, far from the initial ambitions.
The stage location, finally, will be Philipp Oettl. He finished his national meeting in eleventh position last year.
