Bradl, Schrötter, Tulovic: German trio at the Liqui Moly Motorcycle Grand Prix at the Sachsenring

• Stefan Bradl lines up in MotoGP at the Sachsenring
• Marcel Schrötter returns to the Moto2 class
• Lukas Tulovic races in the MotoE World Championship

Munich. The Liqui Moly Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany (5th to 7th July) is set to be a real home highlight for three German riders: while Stefan Bradl starts in MotoGP at the Sachsenring thanks to a wildcard, Supersport World Championship rider Marcel Schrötter makes a temporary return to Moto2 as a replacement. The racer from Vilgertshofen claimed the last German podium at the Sachsenring when he finished third in the same class in 2019. Completing the trio of local favourites when the world championship visits Hohenstein-Ernstthal will be Lukas Tulovic, who lines up in MotoE.

Bradl to test for Honda
Bradl has been official MotoGP test rider for Honda since 2018, and will start in the Liqui Moly Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany courtesy of a wildcard. The 34-year-old is one of the most successful German motorcyclists. Bradl’s world championship debut came back in 2005 and he celebrated his first two victories in 2008. The man from Zahling enjoyed a particularly special 2011, when he was crowned Moto2 world champion ahead of a certain Marc Marquez. Over the course of his world championship career, the German star has amassed seven Grand Prix victories and 19 podium finishes in 215 appearances. Bradl made his MotoGP debut in 2012, since when he has contested 127 races.

Schrötter to make spontaneous return to Moto2
Marcel Schrötter will make a surprise comeback at the Sachsenring. The racer from Upper Bavaria is returning to Moto2 for the races in Germany and the Dutch city of Assen. Schrötter is standing in for Turkey’s Deniz Öncü, who has injured his hand. The German has 226 Grand Prix races on his CV and has made it onto the podium on five occasions. Now 31 years old, he made his debut in 2008 – at the Sachsenring. Schrötter will race for the Red Bull KTM Ajo team on his two appearances this year, and travels to his home event with fond memories: in 2019, the former ADAC Stiftung Sport rider finished third in Moto2, making him the last German to step onto the podium at the Sachsenring.

Tulovic goes flat-out in MotoE
The third rider from Germany at the MotoGP weekend at the iconic circuit in Saxony is Lukas Tulovic. The 24-year-old lines up in MotoE for Ducati racing team Dynavold Intact GP MotoE. Tulovic’s biggest success in the electric world championship came three years ago, when he claimed his only success to date at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. Prior to that, the man from Eberbach had contested 38 races in Moto2. Tulovic made his world championship debut back in 2018 at the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez, when he stood in for the injured Dominique Aegerter. The MotoE rider is hoping the fans can cheer him on to a top result at his home Grand Prix at the Sachsenring.
