## Resource

The MotoGP sprint at Sachsenring turned into a dull procession thanks to new grid rules—spaced at four meters instead of three—to prevent crashes like the one that sidelined Johann Zarco. Riders like Alex Marquez lamented how the extra space shut down aggressive starts and overtaking, leaving Marc Marquez unchallenged for victory. Fabio di Giannantonio added that Sachsenring’s layout already makes passing tough, and the new rules only made it worse, forcing riders to adapt as safety measures unintentionally kill the racing excitement.
