Marc Marquez withstood race-long pressure from the Aprilia of Marco Bezzecchi to win MotoGP’s Dutch Grand Prix at Assen on Sunday.

Marc Marquez extended his lead in the world championship standings winning the Dutch MotoGP on Sunday in a race where his closest pursuer and younger brother Alex Marquez suffered a left hand fracture.

The factory Ducati rider’s world championship lead stretched to a yawning 68 points as his nearest challenger, brother Alex, crashed his Gresini Ducati. The younger Marquez also fractured his left hand in the process. Fabio Quartararo had yet another day to forget after claiming pole position, and ended the race in 10th
