Marquez wins Dutch MotoGP Grand Prix
Spanish Ducati Lenovo rider Marc Márquez continued his grip on the MotoGP World Championship with victory on Sunday in the Dutch Grand Prix at the Assen circuit.
The 32-year-old Marquez achieved his third consecutive victory and his sixth this season in the 10-round series of the championship, following previous wins in Thailand, Argentina, Qatar, Aragon (Spain), and Italy, according to Anadolu Agency.
The six-time world champion raised his points tally to 307 points in first place, widening his lead to 68 points over his younger brother Alex Márquez, the Gresini Ducati rider, who finished second, and 181 points ahead of his teammate, Italian Francesco Bagnaia, who finished third.
As Assen celebrated the 100th anniversary of the race, Marc, who started second on the grid, led on the second lap, with Italian Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia finishing second and his compatriot Francesco Bagnaia third.
Bagnaia, a two-time world champion, had won the last three races in Assen, but despite an early lead, he dropped to fourth before recovering to claim the podium ahead of Spaniard Pedro Acosta of KTM.
Márquez's closest rival for the title, his younger brother Alex Márquez, was eliminated after a collision with Pedro Acosta on lap six, which resulted in a fractured left hand and forced him to retire.
