If you were asked to pick a track to try and beat Marc Marquez at, the Sachsenrinꦺg would🧸 not be it.

The reigning MotoGP c🤪hampion has taken pole position and race victory for the past nine years in Germany, stretching back to the 125cc event in 2010.

The Repsol ♈Honda star will now try for a perfect ten having increased his title lead to 44-points over Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) after a runner-up finish to Maverick Vinales (Yamaha) last Sunday at Assen.

If Marquez can continue his perfect streak, the Spaniard could well take a two-🌃race (50-point) championship lead into the summer break.

But at the back of Marquez's mind is what happened at CO𒆙TA this season.

Marquez had a perfect record in Austin since the sport's debut in 2013, but his run was🉐 unexpectedly broken when he fell🅘 from a comfortable lead in this year's race, proving nothing can be taken for granted.

"The first back-to-back race of the season, I am excited. We had a good weekend in Assen and I am motivated as we now a🀅rrive at one of my favourites tracks," said Marquez, whose dirt-track training means he loves the left-hand turns that dominate the claustrophobic Sachsenring layout.

"Of course, past results don’t mean a lot once we start on Friday so we have to keep working hard with the Rep🌠sol Honda Team to stay in front.

"Everyone says I am the favourite because I won in the past few years, but this sport is unpredictable and everyone said the same in Austin a🐟nd I crashed.

"We will start just thinking about thไe weඣekend, as at every race."

Marquez's team-mate Jorge Lorenzo will miss the Sachsenring due to back injuri🥂es at Assen and be replaced by HRC test rider Stefa✨n Bradl.
