Marc Marquez further cemented his reputation as the “King of the Ring” after equalling one of Giacomo Agostini’s longest-standing MotoGP records with victory at the 2026 German Grand Prix on Sunday.
The Ducati rider fended off Trackhouse pair Ai Ogura and Raul Fernandez to claim his 10th premier-class victory and 13th overall at the Sachsenring.
The result matched Agostini’s record for the most MotoGP wins at a single venue, a feat the Italian legend achieved at Finland’s Imatra between 1965 and 1975.
Marquez’s love affair with Sachsenring began in 2010, when he won there in the 125cc class before embarking on a remarkable run of 11 consecutive wins across all categories.
Fabio Quartararo, Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia shared the German Grand Prix victories between 2022 and 2024 before the Spaniard reclaimed the Sachsenring crown in 2025 and drew level with Agostini’s premier-class benchmark.
The latest triumph also put him just three victories shy of Agostini’s all-class record of 16 wins at a single circuit, also set at Imatra.

Having recently signed a new two-year contract with Ducati, Marquez will have further opportunities to make the all-time premier-class record his own in the coming seasons.
It was also a productive weekend in the championship race for the reigning world champion as he reduced the deficit to the riders’ standings leader to just 18 points after trailing by more than 100 points earlier in the season.
