Marc Marquez’s difficult weekend at the Sachsenring﷽ included an angry ge🐼sture at Stefan Bradl during qualifying on Saturday.

Marquez will be restricted to starting the German MotoGP from🗹 13th, in part due to an incident with Bradl.

Marquez was ﷽forced♛ to abort his lap - and his last chance to enter Q2 - by a slow-moving Bradl.

Bradl was hit by a three-place grid penalty for 'riding slow online and disturbing ওa🅰nother rider #93 at Turn 2'.

His attempt to apologisꦛe moments later was met with a shrug from an annoyed Marquez.

But Marquez later told :&n𝓰bsp;"I have told the team, there is no need to sanction h🐲im, he is already behind.

“Heꦍ didn't do it intentionally, and then he came to apologise

“this happens, it is a very small circuit."

Marquez added: "I had a problem with the⭕ bike in the previous start and I couldn't trust what it would do.”

Bradl is Honda’s test rid🤪er and is racing as a wildca𒆙rd.

Marquez, even before his clash with Bradl in qualifying, was experieℱn♔ced a nightmare round.

A crash on Friday left him with a broken finger and pain in his ribs⛦, although he escaped a more serious injury.

Nevertheless, he impressively recovered from 13th to sixtꦇh in Saturday’s sp🐠rint.

On Sunday with a longer race, it remains to be seen how🥀 Marquez’s physical state holds up.
