Marc Márquez only thinks about working in Assen and forgetting the nightmare lived in Germany, Bagnaia and Martín continue their fight for victory
He Dutch Grand Prix hosts the eighth round of the World Cup MotoGP 2023 and this weekend, from Friday the 23rd of June to Sunday the 25th, the different preparatory sessions will be held, to culminate with the races of Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP.
The Spanish Marc Márquez (Honda RC 213 V) has confirmed that just think about working at the MotoGP Netherlands Grand Prix to be held at the TT Assen circuitwhere the Italian Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP23) and the Spanish Jorge Martín (Ducati Desmosedici GP23) will continue their fight in search of victory to consolidate or approach the leadership of the world championship, depending on how it is seen.
Marc Márquez suffered the unspeakable at the German Grand Prix, where in the end he did not race, after suffering up to five falls, with a small fracture in the thumb of his left hand and countless problems with the performance of his Honda, each time more sunk in mediocrity.

Honda fails to give Marc Márquez the bike he needs to regain the competitiveness lost since his serious accident in Jerez in 2020 and the degree of frustration of the Spanish pilot was evident both with the “comb” that he dedicated to the camera that he carried on the handlebars of his motorcycle and with his sorry attitude, after starring in the fourth fall in less than forty minutes and the fifth of the weekend in Saxony.
Thus, Marc Márquez has decided to contest the Dutch race probably looking at what aspects can be improved on the Honda RC 213 V to make her more competitive, than in her own personal results, especially since with that attitude, that of trying to get as close as possible to her rivals, the only thing she achieves is falling and risking serious injury.
But the interest of the Dutch race will be focused on the Ducati pilotstrue dominators of this start of the season, with four in the top positions of the points table and with all the victories in the “bag” of the prototypes of the manufacturer based in the town of Borgo Panigale, except the one obtained by Alex Rins with his Honda at the American Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in the city of Austin.

The initial spotlight is on the reigning MotoGP world champion and leader of the competition, “Pecco” Bagnaiaalong with Spanish Jorge Martin, that he had achieved two victories in the sprint or short race, but he “resisted” the grand prix until last weekend at the Sachsenring, so it is logical to think that this first victory will give wings to the driver from Madrid in the Netherlands.
