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 beats Marco Bezzecchi in a drama-filled race that claimed his brother Alex, who crashed out of the contest.

Running in the victory battle in the early stages, Alex Marquez was attempting an overtake on KTM's Pedro Acosta at Turn 5 when the pair rubbed shoulders on the exit. Marquez then crashed on the exit flicking right onto the back straight in what appeared to be a touch of his front brake lever on the rear of Acosta.
