Marc Marquez wins a crash-strewn German Grand Prix to extend his lead at the top of the MotoGP riders' standings.

HOHENSTEIN-ERNSTTHAL, Germany (Reuters) -Marc Marquez proved once again why he is known as the 'King of Sachsenring' when the Ducati rider marked his 200th MotoGP start by winning the German Grand Prix on Sunday in a race that became a test of survival after only 10 riders finished.

The wet weather has come to play on Saturday at the Liqui Moly Grand Prix of Germany, but that didn't stop Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) from clinching pole position. It was a tight affair though as Q1 graduate Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) pushed the #93 to the wire in a Saturday morning scrap that saw Marquez win by just 0.
