Ploaia a facut multe victime pe circuitul de la Sachsenring, unde Valentino Rossi (1:32.520) a fost cel mai rapid in sesiunea de calificari si va pleca din pole position in cursa de duminica din Marele Premiu al Germaniei. Conditiile meteo au ingreunat competitia, calificarile incepand sa semene cu un specatacol "last man standing".
Doctorul a scos cel mai bun timp chiar in ultimul tur, furandu-i pole-ul coechipierului sau de la Fiat Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo. Acesta este primul pole pe care Rossi il obtine la MP al Germaniei. Pilotii de la Ducati Marlboro Team vor pleca de pe urmatoarele doua locuri.
Randy de Puniet, Niccolo Canepa, Toni Elias, Alex de Angelis, Marco Melandri si Nicky Hayden au fost victimele ploii de pe circuitul de la Sachsenring. A doua cazatura a lui Canepa a fost produsa de Hayden, care s-a izbit de italian in timp ce cadea.
Incepand cu aceasta etapa numarul pilotilor de la clasa regina se imputineaza. Din cauza dificultatilor financiare, Grupo Francisco Hernando s-a retras, lasandu-l pe Sete Gibernau fara echipa chiar in mijlocul sezonului in care a revenit in Motomondialul de Viteza.
