Héctor Garzó had an almost perfect round at the German GP in MotoE, securing victory in the second race as well. This makes him the second rider in 2024 to achieve two wins in the same weekend, now leading the championship.
The second race was delayed by nearly an hour and a half due to heavy rain and thunderstorm in the Sachsenring area. Alessandro Zaccone (Tech3 E-Racing) started from pole position, but Óscar Gutiérrez (Axxis-MSi) took the lead heading into the first turn. Garzó (Dynavolt Intact GP) positioned himself in second, after starting from fourth.
On a very wet track, any mistake could be costly, but that did not deter the riders from battling. Still in the first of eight laps, Garzó overtook Gutiérrez heading to the Waterfall – at a time when Nicholas Spinelli (Tech3 E-Racing) was already third, moving to second in the next lap by overtaking Gutiérrez.
Once in the lead, Garzó never relinquished it, although he had Spinelli close by for part of the race. Meanwhile, Gutiérrez was trying to keep third place in a fierce battle with Jordi Torres (Openbank Aspar).
In the last laps, Garzó managed to definitively distance himself from Spinelli, securing the victory with a 3.485s lead. Torres eventually found a way to overtake Gutiérrez on the seventh lap, defending himself from a last-ditch attack from Gutiérrez to secure the lowest podium spot. Zaccone completed the top five. Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) led the championship before the German GP but had another modest result, finishing ninth.
