Marquez finished the race with a time of 40 minutes 42.854 seconds, 6.380 seconds ahead of his brother, Alex Marquez, who came in second. In the final stretch, the former world champion stood up on his bike and performed the Aura dance for several seconds.
While it's common for MotoGP riders to stand on their bikes after crossing the finish line, the six-time world champion's move was particularly noteworthy because of its reference to the viral Aura dance on Tiktok. "Aura" translates to "halo," suggesting Marquez's confidence in achieving his seventh championship title. The phrase "Marc Marquez" also trended on X.
This victory marks Marquez's 4th consecutive win, following victories in Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. After 11 of 22 races this season, the 32-year-old rider leads the championship with 344 points, a significant 83 points ahead of Alex Marquez in second place.
Marquez has competed in 200 MotoGP races, with 9 wins at Sachsenring. While other riders struggled with Turn 1, Marquez completed all 30 laps flawlessly, achieving an average speed of 162.2 km/h.
Born on 17/2/1993 in Catalonia, Spain, Marquez secured 6 world championship titles with Honda in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. However, the Japanese team's performance declined in 2020, hindering Marquez's progress. Since joining Ducati in 2024, he finished third last season and is now closing in on his seventh championship title this season.
Italian rider Giacomo Agostini holds the record for most MotoGP championships with 8 titles won in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, and 1975. Fellow Italian Valentino Rossi is second with 7 championships won in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009.
