SACHSENRING: Italy’s Marco Simoncelli of Honda recorded the quickest time in the first MotoGP free practice session ahead of the German Grand Prix. The session, which took place amid cold conditions and beneath an overcast sky, was punctuated by spectacular falls that saw Valentino Rossi (Ducati), Dani Pedrosa (Honda) and championship leader Casey Stoner (Honda) come unstuck. Meanwhile, Toni Elias (Honda), the 2010 Moto2 champion, came off his bike twice on the exact same portion of the track.
