Marc Marquez beats Marco Bezzecchi in a dramatic race that claimed his brother Alex, who crashed from the competition.
Marc Marquez delivered a clinical mastery to the cathedral of Speed de MotoGP to win the victory at the Dutch Grand Prix, while his nearest brother and competitor, Alex, underwent an end -of -race accident that left him a fractured hand.
While Aten celebrated his motorcycle centenary, the elder Marquez took control of the second round on Sunday and did not look back as he extends his 68 -point championship advantage on Alex, looking for his seventh title.
Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia finished second while Francesco Bagnaia de Ducati arrived third, the double champion now looking at an intimidating gap of 126 points to his teammate after 10 rounds.
Bagnaia had won the last three races in Assen, but despite the taking in mind very early, it was pushed to fourth place before recovering to finish on the podium in front of Pedro Acosta of KTM.
Marc, who crashed twice on Friday, also equaled the Giacomo Agostini motorcycle with 68 first -class victories and now aims at his former Rival Valentino Rossi, who ended his career with 89 victories.
The Yamaha Fabio Quartararo had claimed pole position but crashed into the sprint on Saturday, where Marc won his ninth victory of the season, and the Frenchman was slowed down while Bagnaia did the perfect start.
Alex de Gresini Racing was in second place, but on the round one of the following tours, Marc left to exceed his brother and place himself behind his teammate, patiently waiting to jump with 24 laps in the race.
Alex briefly lost his concentration, and Bezzecchi, wearing a new aerodynamic package on his Aprilia, made his way in front of the Gresini rider while Acosta also made a stick of overtaking to push the young mark in fifth row.
Alex Marquez crashes
At the front, Marc found a gap before the last chicane on the five -tone to overcome Bagnaia and take the lead, while his brother Alex crashed strongly when he looked at Acosta and lost his balance when they contacted a fourth battle.
Alex seemed to lock his front tire in the incident, which gave a puff of smoke while the bicycle pushed his rider directly on the ground.
He was immediately taken to the medical center where a left fracture was confirmed, Gresini saying that the 29 -year -old would fly to Madrid for surgery later. More information on Alex’s recovery calendar is expected to emerge on Monday.
Bagnaia seemed to lose the rhythm while Bezzecchi and Acosta moved to podium positions. But the Italian rider Ducati snatched third place from Acosta at the end of Tour 14 to set Bezzecchi.
But all that Bezzecchi has done to put pressure on Marc, the six times champion of MotoGP did not move when he managed his tires and maintained his rhythm until he took the checkered flag.
The MotoGP calendar has a weekend before meeting for the German Grand Prix in two weeks.
