Marc Marquez, the MotoGP championship leader, emerged victorious at the Dutch TT in Assen, a race that had significant implications for the 2025 title race due to his brother Alex’s injury.
Alex Marquez will undergo surgery for a broken second metacarpal in his left hand on Sunday in Madrid, and currently trails his brother by a substantial 68 points in the standings.
During the race, Alex was forced down the order and eventually crashed out following contact with Pedro Acosta, resulting in his injury.
Meanwhile, Marc Marquez took the lead and secured his third Dutch TT MotoGP win, with Bezzecchi crashing on the cooldown lap.
The top four was completed by Bagnaia and Acosta, with Vinales finishing fifth, and Morbidelli receiving a long-lap penalty for corner-cutting.
Additional drama unfolded with Quartararo’s struggles, Mir’s DNF, and Rins being involved in a multi-rider incident that affected the early stages of the race.
