Francesco Bagnaia goes into the summer break as the MotoGP world championship leader after his fourth victory in a row. The world champion benefited on Sunday at the Sachsenring from a crash two laps before the end by his title rival Jorge Martin, who had been leading until then. 

Left-hander Marc Marquez rode to the podium from 13th place ahead of his brother Alex. This was the first time since Nabuatsu and Takuma Aoki that there were two brothers on the MotoGP podium, which this time was completely in Ducati hands.

Here is the final standings:

While leading the race, Martin - Saturday's sprint winner - put his bike into the gravel in a right-hand bend and so recklessly missed out on victory. Bagnaia is now ten points ahead of the Spaniard.

Bagnaia now the most successful Ducati racer
With his 24th victory, the Italian is now the most successful Ducati racer ahead of Casey Stoner (23). The KTM riders trailed behind as in the sprint. Pedro Acosta finished seventh, Brad Binder ninth and Jack Miller 13th.
