Jordi Torres won his first-ever Grand Prix race at the Sachsenring circuit Sunday taking the lead with 10 laps to go and never coming under serious threat after. Simone Corsi took a surprising second after a last-lap pass of Pol Espargaro.
A disappointed Espargaro finished third, unable to take sufficient advantage of a poor weekend by championship rival Scott Redding (7th). Pole sitter Xavier Simeon finished ninth. Simeon was riding with a slight injury he suffered in a crash during warm up earlier in the day. Redding with 143 points still leads Espargaro in the championship by 23 points.
