HOHENSTEIN-ERNSTTHAL, Germany (Reuters) – Six-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez withdrew from the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring after crashing in Sunday’s warm-up.
Honda said the decision came after the turn seven fall — the Spaniard’s fifth crash of the weekend — left him with a fractured left thumb.
Marquez crashed in Friday practice in a collision with Johann Zarco that split the Frenchman’s Pramac Racing bike in two. He then fell three times in qualifying on Saturday.
