Marquez at the Sachsenring is on another level. Setting the top time even after crashing tells you all you need to know about his compatibility with this track. How far he's allowed to run away in the main race - anyone chasing needs serious resolve from day one. That's my read.

Is the Sachsenring one of Marquez's strong tracks?

Bagnaia in 13th is rough - dropping out in Q1 doesn't look like a champion.

Same Ducati, so what's causing this gap - Bagnaia just can't get his form up.

Crashed and still fastest? Feels like he's just pushing too hard and falling.

Crashing and still setting the fastest time - that's what makes him a monster, the pace is just different.

Marquez really has no weakness at the Sachsenring - fastest from day one.
