Marco Bezzecchi Suffers Scary Crash at Dutch GP

Marco Bezzecchi's comeback Sunday at the Dutch GP turned into a nightmare as he crashed at over 200 km/h.

On 29 June 2026, the Aprilia rider lost control of his bike and slid into the escape route.

The incident occurred during the second lap, while Bezzecchi was tackling the fast right-hander at Ramshoek.

He began tumbling violently, almost hitting the barriers, but narrowly missed impact by just a few meters.

The crash dropped Bezzecchi to second place in the world championship standings, now led by his teammate Jorge Martin.

Bezzecchi was taken to the circuit's medical center and then to Groningen University Hospital for further checks due to severe neck pain.

Aprilia reported that the CT scan and X-rays performed on Marco Bezzecchi were negative, so he was cleared for discharge from the hospital and will return to Italy.

The next round will see MotoGP head to the German Sachsenring circuit, a hunting ground for Marc Marquez, who finished seventh at the Dutch GP.

Bezzecchi's rivals have been warned, as he will be looking to bounce back from this setback and regain his position at the top of the standings.

The Dutch GP was won by Ai Ogura, who brought a Japanese rider back to the top of the premier class after 22 years.

Ogura was followed by his teammate Raul Fernandez, with Jorge Martin completing an all-Aprilia podium sweep at Assen.

Ducati was off the podium in the Netherlands, but Fabio Di Giannantonio saved Borgo Panigale's honor, finishing fourth after a long duel with the Marquez brothers.

Alex Marquez finished behind Di Giannantonio, showing determination in close battles after his terrible accident in Barcelona.

Enea Bastianini finished sixth with the Tech3 KTM, after recent announcements of his move to Aprilia next season, Francesco Bagnaia became a father for the first time on Saturday night.

But the Piedmontese rider could not celebrate the happy event in the best way, forced to retire due to a technical problem on his Ducati while fighting to climb the standings.

Marc Marquez tackled the race with grit, despite Ducati's lack of competitiveness at Assen, and finished seventh, keeping him in the title race.
