Gresini Riders Hurt in Multiple Crashes at Assen Practice

Circuit medical staff treated both riders, with Saturday examinations set to decide whether Gresini can race them in qualifying.

Overview

  • Following Friday's practice, Alex Márquez crashed twice and Fermín Aldegüer had a high‑speed fall in turn 11 that left both riders treated in the MotoGP Medical Center.
  • Gresini reported that X‑rays showed no shoulder fracture for Alex Márquez and that he has bruising to his right shoulder plus abrasions to his left arm.
  • Aldegüer was transferred from the Medical Center to a nearby hospital for further checks on his chest and back and a diagnosis remained pending late Friday.
  • Several other riders had non‑injury crashes during the hot, fast session and team doctors are using standard on‑scene care and Medical Center assessments before any return to track action.
  • Practice timing stayed competitive with Marco Bezzecchi and Aprilia at the top, but Márquez's recent return from a May clavicle break means Saturday's medical recheck will shape Gresini's rider lineup for the rest of the weekend.
