News summary

Marc Marquez, the MotoGP championship leader, endured a challenging Friday at the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen, crashing twice during practice sessions and sustaining multiple bruises and cuts. Despite these setbacks, including injuries to his finger, arm, face, and stomach caused by sliding over large gravel stones, Marquez was cleared to continue racing and even topped FP1. He acknowledged that while his body was hurting and confidence affected, he intended to race cautiously to avoid further injury, prioritizing championship points.

Marquez's strategy for the race emphasized maintaining calm and accepting if other riders were faster, highlighting his focus on preserving his championship lead amid the physical challenges.
