Who can challenge Marc Marquez's impeccable MotoGP record in Germany?

We’re almost halfway through MotoGP 2026. But before, there is the small matter of the German Grand Prix, otherwise known as Marc Marquez territory. We look at whether the reigning champion is poised to dismantle the opposition at the Sachsenring again this year. Or could Marco Bezzecchi, Jorge Martin, Pecco Bagnaia or Ai Ogura have a say? There have also been a number of rider announcements for 2027. We look at whether KTM’s choice for its factory line up next year is a good one. Plus, which satellite team has signed up an early contender for dark horse of next year? With that in mind, Adam, David and Neil pick three categories: MotoGP’s biggest surprise signing of the four-stroke era; MotoGP’s worst signing; as well as the best. That’s not all – we sit down with German star Jonas Folger and KTM substitute rider Jonas Folger to ask him about how riding a MotoGP machine has changed from his rookie season in 2017 to what we see on the grid now.
