Vezzecchi confirms leadership at Assen, Marquez signs 13th-year deal this fall

Italian Marco BezecchiSeemingly exhausted after their victory at Le Mans, Le Mans regained control and won two free practice sessions on the opening day of the Dutch Grand Prix at the historic TT Assen circuit. After that, he took the lead. He had a good session on the day, beating Jorge Martín by 0.130s. In MotoGP, the same rider dominated from start to finish, just like Moto3 (Jaume Macia) and Moto2 (Jake Dixon).

Bezzecchi, Martin, Miller, Bagnaia, Vinales, Quartararo, Aleix Espargaro, Binder, Marini and Alex Marquez secured Q2. The double presence of ‘only’ 5 of the 8 Ducatis and KTM made it the most varied Friday of the year. From Aprilia, and also from Yamaha in Quartararo.

Marc Marquez lives in a distant parallel reality Waging war on key positions and being the parsley of all sources in MotoGP is what it should be. After announcing the intentions of the Sachsenring and declaring that the world was forbidden to move on its own feet because the situation was already unsustainable, Marc Márquez stepped back for safety and kept a low profile. decided. Coming out to Assen with a fractured rib, a broken left thumb phalanx and a sprained right ankle means he will do his best and work on improving his bike while the situation is ‘fixed’. It can be taken as an intention to show Japan that. . The next few months. But he couldn’t even play the role of a fancy ‘tester’ at Assen, and without exaggeration he tried to chase the wheel of Maverick Vinales to move up the order. Couldn’t avoid adding, but it followed three curves. Already on this same P2, chasing his brother’s steering wheel, Alex had to save another hard slid on the Honda and another not-so-wild one after Bagnaia.

A week ago, he frustratedly dropped the comb on the dashcam and now leaned against the “air raid fence” waiting for the scooter. The day went without a hitch. Despite the bruises and cracks, he was determined to finish in the 8s 1 inch in the morning, and P2 followed suit, entering the Testers’ Cup alongside Savadori, Bradl and Folger. People who accompanied SBK Iker Lecuona from 19th place. Until the time attack when he attacked with the most modest forward soft, but still could not avoid a fall. He fell to the ground in three curves, following the fast wheels. He has been sentenced to a new Q1, with Johann Zarco being the main contender for one of the two play-off spots.

Frenchman Fabio Quartararo has to pass a new medical check-up after P1 and is set to continue for the rest of the Grand Prix despite breaking his left big toe in a fall while out this week. obtained a health status. To drive through the streets of Amsterdam. At the start, he led the first round alongside Alex Marquez and Marco Bezecchi, and was the most aggressive, although he never broke 1:33.

The first to get down to 1:32 was Maverick Vinales in the second round (1:32.960). After trying to close several good laps in a row so far, Alex Marquez scored the goal. His Ducati disconnected the electronics while his brother watched him in the box.Then Marc also had to follow his brother’s steering wheel to save another wild slide from Honda

Maverick Vinales replaced injured team-mate Aleix Espargaro and set a time of 1:32.741 on a circuit similar to his style, doubling Aprilia’s time and finishing two of the three sessions. By the end of the round, Aprilia had already overtaken championship leader Bagnaia. Marc Márquez, 1’5″ from the front, 20th before the new tyres, continuing the chassis comparison.

Already with 10 minutes left in the time attack, Maverick Vinales has raised Bezzecchi’s morning Super Time Trial standard from 1:32.374 to 0:128. And at 1 in 86,000, Jorge Martin stayed right behind. With a time of 1:32.254, ‘Vez’ was also just short of Friday’s best time (8/1000ths) to take the lead in second place.

Marc Márquez can’t escape, adding his 13th fall this year

And while his 13th crash of the year has been a cautious all-day, this one has dragged on, arriving at Turn 3 chasing Maverick Vinales’ steering wheel, he remains pensive as he leans against the protection as his scooter rolls. I was waiting for it to come back in the box. He was 17th overall for the day, an inch and two behind Reid, but still not out of Q1.

Vezzecchi finally broke the morning’s best time with a time of 1’32.063, Jorge Martín secured a double time with a difference of 0.130 seconds, and everyone updated the time.
