Marc Marquez Extends MotoGP Championship Lead at Dutch GP with Ninth Sprint Win

News summary

Marc Marquez continues to dominate the 2025 MotoGP season, securing his ninth sprint victory of the year at the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen, extending his championship lead to 68 points after winning the main race as well. Despite starting fourth, Marquez quickly took the lead in the sprint race and maintained it against pressure from his brother Alex Marquez and Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi, while pole sitter Fabio Quartararo crashed out. Alex Marquez finished second in the sprint and crashed during the main race, fracturing his left hand, while Ducati teammate Francesco Bagnaia struggled with grip issues, finishing fifth in both races. The Marquez brothers have been a dominant duo this season with Alex consistently finishing closely behind Marc, though Alex denies any collusion between them. Marc's form this season has put him on track to challenge historic records, and his performance at Assen marks a significant psychological boost following practice crashes. Ducati’s depth is evident with three riders finishing in the top five of the sprint race, underscoring their strength in the 2025 championship battle.
