Marquez and Bagnaia in spotlight ahead of Dutch MotoGP

Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia — two Ducati riders — are drawing attention ahead of the 2025 Dutch MotoGP at Assen Circuit following their contrasting performances at Italian GP.

The rivalry between both riders intensified at Mugello Circuit — Marquez dominated the 23-lap race to secure his fifth victory this season, while Bagnaia dropped to fourth position after a collision with his teammate.

This result ended Bagnaia’s home dominance — Valentino Rossi’s protégé failed to continue his three-season winning streak at Mugello.

Marquez achieved remarkable milestones at Italian GP by securing:

• His 100th career pole position
• 93rd victory
• New lap record of 1 minute 44.169 seconds in qualifying
