Marco Simoncelli won a late battle with Jorge Lorenzo to complete a clean sweep of Friday practice sessions at the Sachsenring.
Gresini Honda rider and morning pacesetter Simoncelli had been on top for much of the afternoon, before Lorenzo (Yamaha) edged ahead in the closing moments.
But Simoncelli was still out and able to respond with a 1m22.225s to retake the top spot by 0.095 seconds.
The factory Hondas claimed third to fifth positions, with Dani Pedrosa ahead of Casey Stoner and Andrea Dovizioso.
