MotoGP 2014 Sachsenring Race Result

By Ajinkya

The race began in the most unusual of manner with a handful of riders on the race track. The 2014 Sachsenring circuit witness rainfall prior to the start of race. A few of the riders thought it would rain and opted for the wet tyres. However, they realised soon it wasn't wet enough and most of the riders headed back to pit lane and started from there.

Pole sitter-Marc Marquez, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi and others started the race from the pit lane. Home hero Stefan Bradl on his LCR was lucky and was on slick tyres and started the race from his grid position. The German created a cushion between him and the others, however, the Factory powered Repsol Honda caught up with the satellite bike.

Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa have signed a contract for a further two years with their current team. Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Marquez, Stefan Bradl and Alvaro Bautista have not received contract offers from their current teams.
