Wow - what a track! First time I have watched an event from Germany.

Thoughts :

-incredibly short, small, tight track... very technical (but lots of runoff) at Sachsenring.
-7 left hand turns ... almost entirely left hand turns!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachsenring

-lots of discussion on BT Sport before the race about the special tires constructed for this event that had softer right shoulders to compensate for the fact that due to the lack of right turns the right side of the tires get very cold and tend to wash out when they do get used...
-Marquez's Honda looks great - on the surface, reverting to the 2014 chassis might have been the best thing that they could have done! Commentator's caution though that this track has always suited the Honda and not to read too much into Marquez's dominant performance....
-92k in attendance ... another huge crowd
-Honda 1-2 finish
-Rossi finishes third and increases his lead on Lorenzo, who finished fourth
