Ahead of the MotoGP German GP, Marc Marquez — who boasts 12 career wins at the Sachsenring — surprisingly struck a humble tone. He said his biggest rival in the title fight is "my own body," setting a podium finish as his initial goal. He also noted that while Bezzecchi was the fastest rider in the first half of the season, it's Martin who leads the championship.

A man with 12 wins at the Sachsenring saying 'the enemy is my own body' - that's what real greatness looks like. I've watched it trackside myself, and that low-speed layout of endless corners really grinds down the body. Marquez talking about physicality isn't weakness - it's the calculated words of a guy who knows exactly how to win.

12 wins at the same track, Sachsenring, isn't that just insane? Nobody else can win there.

There's such a thing as a favorite track, when the fit's right it shows like this.

At the end of the day, Germany's Marquez's to take.

'My own body is the enemy', huh. Compared to his old just-full-send days, he's mellowed in how he talks.

Bezzecchi's the fastest in the first half and Martin's still leading, Marquez isn't actually as rock-solid as it seems.

But if Bezzecchi's the fastest and still doesn't win the title, what's the point.

The undisputed king of Sachsenring with 12 wins saying 'podium first' just doesn't sound credible.

That 'aiming for the podium' comment is a total bluff, he's not aiming for anything less than a win at Sachsenring.
