Marc Marquez leads calls for safety improvements at Sachsenring MotoGP track
Marc Marquez has voiced concerns about safety at the Sachsenring circuit ahead of its anticipated contract extension with MotoGP. The German Grand Prix has been a regular fixture on the calendar since 1998, attracting a record crowd of 256,441 people last weekend. Despite being contracted until 2026, Marquez highlighted that some walls at the Sachsenring are too close to the track, especially in wet conditions. He emphasized the need for safety modifications, a sentiment echoed by Alex Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia who both emphasized the importance of improving safety measures at older circuits like Sachsenring. MotoGP’s efforts to enhance safety at tracks like Jerez are seen as a positive step towards ensuring the well-being of riders at traditional venues like the Sachsenring.
