Motorcycling-Marquez pulls out of German GP after five crashes

S ix-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez withdrew from the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring after crashing in Sunday's warm-up.

Honda said the decision came after the turn seven fall -- the Spaniard's fifth crash of the weekend -- left him with a fractured left thumb.

Marquez crashed in Friday practice in a collision with Johann Zarco that split the Frenchman's Pramac Racing bike in two. He then fell three times in qualifying on Saturday.
