Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) remained the fastest man in MotoGP only a few days after his Catalan GP win, with the Portuguese rider topping the timesheets on Day 1 of the Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland on Friday.
Around half a second off the outright lap record, Oliveira escaped Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) by a couple of tenths to take to the top, with Maverick Vinales making it two Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP machines in the top three on Friday as he ended FP2 within a tenth of his team-mate.
The day started with a very familiar name at the top of the Sachsenring timesheets: Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team).
The Spaniard is undefeated at the venue in the premier class plus a few years before that, and he was quick out the blocks before also stringing together a longer run of laps.
Second was Quartararo, who also took a fast tumble at Turn 12 before moving back to within 0.168 off Marquez.
