Overall, the top five spots in the session were filled by a diverse range of manufacturers, highlighting the competitiveness of MotoGP at the Sachsenring.
With key competitors like Alex Marquez making a solid return after an injury, the stage is set for an exciting and unpredictable race weekend marked by the unexpected absence of Enea Bastianini due to appendicitis, emphasizing the challenges and uncertainties inherent in motorcycle racing.
