ÁLEX MÁRQUEZ FINISHES IN THE POINTS AT ASSEN

Álex Márquez claimed a points finish in the Dutch Grand Prix following a demanding race at Assen. Round nine of the 2021 MotoGP championship took place under sunny skies in the north-east of the Netherlands and, despite not finding his best rhythm, the LCR Honda CASTROL rider showed determination to take the chequered flag in 14^th spot.

Starting from the sixth row of the grid, the Spaniard got away well and made up a place down the straight to settle into 14^th. Although he was unable to make the progress through the field he wanted, Álex maintained his position to secure a fifth points-scoring result of the season.
