The 2026 MotoGP season reached its midpoint at the German GP. Marc Marquez, who excels at the left-corner-heavy Sachsenring, took pole, won Saturday's sprint, and won Sunday's main race as well, sweeping both races and closing the gap at the top of the championship. His brother Alex Marquez (Ducati) followed him home on Saturday.

The Sachsenring is a unique left-corner-heavy layout, practically home turf for Marquez, who's conquered it repeatedly. Escaping from pole in the sprint, then the Sunday main race too -- taking both is proof everything from corner entry to exit is clicking. This kind of riding pays off right at the season's turn.

Does being good at left corners really make that much difference on a given track?

Sachsenring's layout barely has any right-handers, so riders strong on the left get an obvious edge.

Saturday had Alex right behind, basically a Ducati sweep, can any other manufacturer even win right now.

Pole, sprint, and the main race all swept, he's simply untouchable at this point.

This closes the gap to the championship leader quite a bit, the second half's about to get tense fast.

Sachsenring's practically all lefts, so it's Marquez's backyard, it plays out like this every year.

Favorite track or not, sweeping the entire weekend is just too strong, you can predict the outcome before it happens.
