After the unpredictable Dutch TT, the Repsol Honda Team riders head to Sachsenring, which will host the eighth round of the World Championship and mark the halfway point of the season. On their last two visits to the German track, Marquez and Pedrosa have taken two podium doubles –and have very fond memories of a circuit at which they have earned six wins apiece.

Marquez has been the victor in 125cc, Moto2 and MotoGP at Sachsenring, in a run that stretches back to 2010. Pedrosa holds two wins in 250cc –from 2004 and 2005- and four MotoGP victories in 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2012

“We’re going to the German GP aiming for a podium position and of course possibly to fight for the win. The Sachsenring is normally a very good track for me that I like very much, maybe because it has so many left-hand corners, a bit like a dirt track! On the other hand, it’s another one on the calendar where the weather has sometimes played a crucial role in the past, so we’ll see how it goes there. We’ve learned from the past and we’re approaching this season race by race, trying to be ready and make the most of what we have and what the situation requires. In any case I’m happy we’ll be back in action shortly and I’ll do my best to get another positive result before the summer break.”

“I like the Sachsenring very much; it’s definitely one of my favourite tracks on the calendar. I have very good memories there, and together with my team, we’ll try to make the best use of what we’ve learned from the last races. It was a pity that we didn’t get a better result in Assen, where our strategy was perfect for the first part of the race, but the positive is that we know we’ve worked well in demanding conditions. We’ll try to do the same in Germany.”
