PROGRAMMING NOTE: The German GP from Sachsenring, Germany will air LIVE on SPEED on Sunday, July 14th in a two-hour programming block that starts at 7:00am ET. #MotoGPonSPEEDMotoGP * Marc Marquez has qualified on pole for the third time in 2013. Marquez has won from pole for the last three years at the Sachsenring: in 2010 in the 125cc class, and in 2011 and 2012 in the Moto2 class. * Cal Crutchlow has qualified in second place on the grid - his fourth front row start of the year. Crutchlow could become the first British rider to have four or more podium finishes in a single season in the premier-class since Barry Sheene in 1982. * Valentino Rossi starts from third place on the grid, his first front row start since he was third on the grid at Estoril in 2010. If Rossi wins the race in Germany he will be the oldest rider to take back-to-back premier-class GP victories since Phil Read in 1974. * Stefan Bradl heads the second row of the grid. Bradl will be aiming to be the first German rider to finish on the podium in the premier-class at the Sachsenring since Ernst Hiller was third in the 500cc race in 1971. * Aleix Espargaro has qualified in fifth place on the grid - his best ever qualifying result in MotoGP class and the best-ever qualifying result by a CRT rider. * In sixth place, Nicky Hayden is the highest-placed Ducati rider on the grid, at a circuit where he has finished on the podium on four occasions. * Bradley Smith, who heads the third row of the grid, has finished in the top ten at the last five successive races. * Alvaro Bautista starts from eighth place on the grid - the sixth time this year that he has been on the third row. * Andrea Dovizioso takes the final place on the third row. Dovizioso has scored points at the last 19 successive races. * Claudio Corti heads the fourth row of the grid - his best qualifying result so far in his rookie season in the MotoGP class. * Danilo Petrucci is in eleventh place on the grid - his best-ever qualifying result in MotoGP. * Having not taken part in Q2, Dani Pedrosa will start from 12th place on the grid. This is his worst grid position since the Portuguese GP in 2010 when he finished eighth in the race after qualifying 12th, suffering with a broken collarbone from a crash four weeks earlier in Japan.
