MotoGP 2025’s biggest accident hotspot revealed
Turn 1 at the Sachsenring was the most treacherous corner of the 2025 MotoGP season, with 21 riders caught out or brought down during the German Grand Prix in July. This corner had five more accidents than the next highest hot-spot at the Balaton Park circuit in Hungary. Both corners feature hard braking zones followed by tight right-handers, making them risky overtaking areas. Despite having the highest individual accident spots, Sachsenring and Balaton Park ranked only eighth and seventh respectively in overall weekend falls, with Le Mans in France topping the list. Overall, there were 965 accidents in all classes across MotoGP’s 22-round season in 2025, with the premier class alone recording 349 incidents. Weather and circuit layout are significant factors affecting accident rates in MotoGP races.
