German Grand Prix to stay on MotoGP calendar until 2031
The new deal will see MotoGP celebrate the Sachsenring's 100th anniversary in 2027 as motorcycle racing's premier class capitalises on the growing interest in the sport, which had more than 250,000 fans attend the Grand Prix at the weekend.
'Saxony is motor racing country. The new record attendance at the weekend showed again how much we love motor racing in Saxony,' Michael Kretschmer, prime minister of Saxony, said.
Ducati's Marc Marquez won the German Grand Prix on Sunday to extend his world championship lead to 83 points, proving again why he is known as the 'King of Sachsenring' after claiming his ninth MotoGP victory at the circuit.

Tyre troubles do not stop Brad to secure 7th place in action-packed German MotoGP
Krugersdorp's MotoGP sensation Brad Binder crossed the finish line in seventh place at the weekend's German Grand Prix. According to the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team, Brad was quick to move into the top 10 from the first lap. He then endured tyre pressure problems for the duration, but stayed on two wheels when a series of other riders fell into the gravel. He was less than a 10th of a second from sixth. 'From a working point of view and the weekend as a whole, this was a step. The main race was super difficult. It was such a long race, and a lot of guys were going down,' said Brad. 'It was chaos out there and very tricky for the front end. I was in a group the entire time, and that was hard for the tyre pressure and keeping the whole thing up. It was sketchy, so even though I would have liked a much better result, it was an accomplishment to get to the line,' he concluded. After his seventh place at this race in Sachsenring, Brad is currently 12th in the Championship Standings. He will be in action again from July 18 to 20 at the Tissot Grand Prix of Czechia.

Bastianini and Espargaro to race for KTM Tech3 in Czech Grand Prix
Enea Bastianini will race for KTM Tech3 at this weekend's Czech Grand Prix after recovering from illness and Pol Espargaro steps in for the injured Maverick Vinales, the MotoGP team said on Wednesday. The 27-year-old Italian, who joined Tech3 from Ducati last year, missed the German Grand Prix but is expected to return to the track on Friday in practice for Sunday's race in Brno. "It was tough for me to remain in bed for so long and unable to join the team at the German Grand Prix, but I gave myself the time to recover properly to arrive in Brno in good shape," Bastianini said. Spaniard Vinales had surgery on Sunday for a fractured left shoulder, paving the way for compatriot Espargaro to make his return with Tech3, a team he debuted with in MotoGP back in 2014. "It's been a long time since our last visit to Brno, which is a fantastic track," Espargaro said. "The last time we raced here I felt super-good in my best period with KTM so let's see how it is with the new surface."

Youngsters shine as Chiefs beat top-flight Zwolle in the Netherlands
Thulani Mabaso, one of Amakhosi's four DStv Diski Challenge U-23 side players taken with the senior team to Holland, took the shot that struck the post to set up the opening, second-half goal. Another, Naledi Hlongwane, buried the rebound for the 54th-minute decider. Amakhosi coach Nasreddine Nabi started with more regular senior performers, then introduced younger players off the bench as his team had good possession and structure and created decent chances. Generally Chiefs impressed against the team that finished in 10th place in the Eredivise last season, though the Dutch side were under-strength. Just two players who were fielded in their last Eredivisie match of the 2024-25 season against Groningen were in the starting line-up against Chiefs as they ran the rule over some fringe players, though Zwolle did have at least five senior players on their bench.
