Alex Marquez crashes out of German MotoGP while dueling brother Marc

Spanish Gresini Racing rider Alex Marquez crashed on lap 10 of the German MotoGP at the Sachsenring, retiring from the race while battling his brother Marc Marquez for the lead. Marquez said he "made a small mistake" caused by over‑confidence and reduced grip, and he took full responsibility for the error.

The incident leaves him without valuable points, keeping him ninth in the championship with 87 points. Recovering from recent injuries, Marquez noted that his confidence on a still‑recovering bike may have contributed to the mistake, but he remains optimistic about future races.
