Summarized by Podsumo
Marco Bezzecchi returns from a high-speed crash at Assen, focusing on rebuilding confidence with solid points finishes rather than podiums.
Marc Márquez dominates the left‑hand Sachsenring, playing mind games by lowballing expectations while being the clear favourite.
Maverick Viñales hints at leaving MotoGP due to burnout and KTM ripping up his contract, saying 'buttons will get pushed now'.
Key rider moves for 2027: Álex Márquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio move to factory seats; Joan Mir joins Gresini.
Massive 2027 regulation changes (new tires, no ride‑height devices) with only two days of testing will create huge uncertainty.
