Enea Bastianini (Leopard Racing) topped Warm Up at the Pramac Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland, but there was almost nothing covering the top four of the 'beast', polesitter Jorge Martin (Del Conca Gresini Moto3) and Championship contenders Marco Bezzecchi (Redox PruestelGP) and Aron Canet (Estrella Galicia 0,0) at the Sachsenring.

One key moment of drama saw Dennis Foggia (Sky Racing Team VR46) crash out and collect Tony Arbolino (Marinelli Snipers Team) - narrowly avoiding Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Leopard Racing).
A slew of grid penalties for the field were also announced on Sunday morning, with Foggia sent to the back of the grid for slow riding during practice, a repeat offence. Three-place penalties were given to Niccolo Antonelli (SIC58 Squadra Corse), Nicolo Bulega (Sky Racing Team VR46), Nakarin Atiratphuvapat (Honda Team Asia), Stefano Nepa (CIP - Green Power), newcomer Vicente Perez (Reale Avintia Academy), replacement rider Raul Fernandez (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and wildcard Luca Gruenwald (Freudenberg Racing Team).
