German Grand Prix facts and stats The 2017 German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring will be the 79th Grand Prix event to be held on German soil and below are some facts and statistics related to this:

The first Grand Prix to be held in Germany was the West German Grand Prix held at the Solitude circuit in 1952, when it was reported that 400,000 spectators turned up to watch. Ireland’s Reg Armstrong won the 350cc and 500cc races riding Nortons. The home crowd had plenty to cheer, with Rudi Felgenheier winning the 250cc race on a DKW and winning the 125cc race on a NSU. The first East German Grand Prix was held at the Sachsenring road circuit in 1961. The original circuit used for this event was a closed road circuit 8.73km in length. The East German GP continued to be held at the Sachsenring each year until 1972, after which the original road circuit was considered too dangerous for Grand Prix racing. The West German Grand Prix was held every year from 1952 through to 1990, when East and West joined to become a unified Germany. Four different circuits were used during this period 1952 to 1990: Solitude, Schotten, Nurburgring and Hockenheim. There has been a German Grand Prix held every year since unification; from 1991 to 1994 at the Hockenheim circuit, followed by three years at the Nurburgring and since 1998 at the new Sachsenring circuit. In addition to those mentioned above, one other Grand Prix event has been held in Germany: the Baden-Wurtemberg GP held in 1986 at the Hockenheim circuit, for just the 80cc and 125cc classes. The newly built Sachsenring circuit was initially just 3.508km long with one short section of track from the old road circuit. Major modifications to the circuit in 2001 and then additional slight alterations in 2003 resulted in the current 3.671 km track layout. The Sachsenring is one of just five circuits on the current grand prix schedule that run in an anti-clockwise direction, along with Austin, Aragon, Phillip Island and Valencia. This will be the 20th successive year that a Grand Prix event has been held at the new Sachsenring circuit. Since Grand Prix racing returned to the Sachsenring circuit in 1998 there have been seven podium finishes by home riders: Ralf Waldmann was third in the 250cc race in 1999, Steve Jenkner was third in the 125cc race in 2002, finished second in the 125cc category in 2008, finished third in the 125cc race in 2010, Stefan Bradl was second in 2011 in Moto2, in 2012 Sandro Cortese won the Moto3™ race and last year Jonas Folger was 2nd in the Moto2™ race. The best result by a German rider in the premier-class at the Sachsenring since racing returned to the circuit in 1998 is fourth by Stefan Bradl in 2013. Since the introduction of the four-stroke MotoGP™ class in 2002, Honda have been the most successful manufacturer at the Sachsenring with eleven wins, including the last seven years. Yamaha have had three wins at this circuit, the last of which was with Valentino Rossi in 2009. Ducati’s single MotoGP™ victory in Germany was with in 2008. Andrea Doviziosos’s third place finish last year was the first podium for a Ducati rider at the Sachsenring circuit since Casey Stoner was third in 2010. Honda riders have also qualified on pole for the German GP for the last six years; the last non-Honda rider to start from pole for a MotoGP™ race at the Sachsenring was Jorge Lorenzo in 2010 on a Yamaha. The only podium finish for in Germany in the MotoGP™ era is when Chris Vermeulen finished third in 2008. The rider with most victories at the new Sachsenring circuit is Marc Marquez with seven wins (1 x 125cc, 2 x Moto2, 4 x MotoGP™), followed by teammate Dani Pedrosa with six wins (2x 250cc, 4 x MotoGP™). The Moto2™ race winner in Germany last year, Johann Zarco, crossed the line just 0.059 seconds ahead of second place finisher Jonas Folger - the closest finish in a full-length Moto2™ race since the Malaysian Grand Prix in 2010. The five Moto3™ races at the Sachsenring have been won by five different riders: Sandro Cortese, Alex Rins, Jack Miller, and . None of these riders are still competing full-time in the Moto3™ class.

Valentino Rossi becomes oldest MotoGP™ race winner With his win at Assen, Valentino Rossi moves above Troy Bayliss and Nello Pagani in the following table of the oldest riders of all-time to win in the premier-class of grand prix racing. This makes him the oldest rider to win in the MotoGP™ era, taking this record from Troy Bayliss.

Historic win for Valentino Rossi In addition to becoming the oldest winner of a MotoGP™ race, Valentino Rossi has set and extended a number of other records:

Rossi is the oldest winner of a premier-class grand prix since Jack Findlay won the Austrian 500cc Grand Prix at the Salzburgring in 1977. He is the first rider to have a winning career in grand prix racing stretching over 20 years. The time between his first victory in the 125cc class at Brno in 1996 and his latest victory is 20 years 311 days. The closest rider to Rossi in relation to this record is with a grand prix winning career of 17 years 49 days. Rossi extends his record for longest winning career in the premier-class to 16 years 351 days. The closest challenger to Rossi for this record is Alex Barros with a winning career in the premier-class of 11 years 204 days. His win at the Dutch TT came just three days short of 20 years since his first GP victory at the Assen circuit. The longest period any other rider has between first and last wins at the same circuit is 15 years by Angel Nieto also at Le Mans, between winning the 50cc race in 1970 to winning the 80cc race in 1985.

Andrea Dovizioso tops the table Following his fifth place finish at the Dutch TT Andrea Dovizioso tops the MotoGP™ championship standings by a slender four points from Maverick Viñales. This is significant for the following reasons:

This is the first time since he moved up to the MotoGP™ class in 2008 that Dovizioso has headed the championship standings. He is the first Ducati rider to lead the MotoGP™ championship since Casey Stoner did so in 2009 following the Italian Grand Prix. His is just the third Italian rider to head the premier-class classification during the MotoGP™ era, along with Valentino Rossi and Loris Capirossi. Loris Capirossi in 2006 was also the last Italian rider on an Italian manufactured motorcycle to head the MotoGP™ classification.

MotoGP™ Facts and Stats

After winning the Dutch TT, Valentino Rossi has an opportunity to win back-to-back races for the fi rst time since 2009 when he won in Catalunya and at the Dutch TT. If he stands on the top step in Germany he will be the second oldest rider of all time to win back-to-back premier class Grand Prix races, after Les Graham who won the fi nal two races of the 1952 season at Monza and Montjuich Park at the age of 41 years 21 days. In each of the last seven years at the Sachsenring Marc Marquez has qualifi ed on pole and won the race; 2010 in the 125cc class, 2011 & 2012 in Moto2™ and for the last four years in MotoGP™. Sachsenring is the only circuit on the 2017 schedule where Honda have won in the MotoGP™ class for each of the last seven years. Following the Dutch TT Andrea Dovizioso leads the MotoGP™ championship standings with a score of 115 points. This is the lowest score for a rider leading the championship after the opening eight races of the year since the current points scoring system was introduced in 1993; the previous lowest was in 2000 when led the championship with 125 points after eight races. Marc Marquez has not qualifi ed on pole since the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin. This is the fi rst time since moving up to the MotoGP™ class that he has gone fi ve successive races without starting from pole. After scoring points in the fi rst seven races of his rookie season in the MotoGP™ class, Jonas Folger failed to score any points at the Dutch TT after crashing out of the race. This means that there are now no riders in the MotoGP™ class who have scored points all eight races of 2017; the last time this occurred was 1995. Just eleven points cover the top four in the MotoGP™ championship classifi cation. This is the smallest margin covering the top four riders in the premier- class after eight races since the current scoring system was introduced. The previous record for the smallest margin at this stage of the season was in 1998 when 29 points covered the top four riders: , Max Biaggi, Alex Criville and Carlos Checa. Just 0.063 seconds separated Valentino Rossi and Danilo Petrucci at the end of the Dutch TT. This is the sixth closest fi nish of the MotoGP™ era, after: 2006/Portugal (0.002 seconds), 2011/Valencia (0.015 sec), 2016/Italy (0.019 sec), 2003/Czech (0.042 sec), 2003/Germany (0.060 sec). At the Dutch TT, Scott Redding became just the second British rider (along with Cal Crutchlow) in the MotoGP™ era to set a fastest lap in a race. That fastest lap set by Scott Redding was a time of 1 minute 34.617 seconds. During the course of the race another nineteen riders set lap times within one second of this fastest lap time; the fi rst time ever in a premier-class grand prix race that twenty riders have posted lap times within one second of the fastest lap of the race. Danilo Petrucci has stood on the podium twice in the last three races. This is the fi rst time that a Ducati rider from an Independent Team has had two podium fi nishes in a season since Toni Elias in 2008. With Andrea Dovizioso winning in Italy and Catalunya and Valentino Rossi at the Dutch TT, Italian riders have won three successive MotoGP™ races for the fi rst time since 2009 when Rossi’s victories in Germany and Brno were separated by a victory for Dovizioso in Britain. This is also the fi rst time there have been three successive MotoGP™ races without a Spanish winner since 2011 when Casey Stoner won at Laguna Seca, Brno and Indianapolis. Valentino Rossi’s win at Assen made it fi ve different winners in the fi rst eight MotoGP™ races of the year for the fi rst time since 2006.
