Beaubier, 1 points More, from a press release issued by KTM: Tenth place for Marquez in 125 cc on classic Assen circuit Red Bull KTM Moto Sport’s Marc Marquez of Spain finished in tenth place in the 125 cc GP on Saturday on the tradition-rich Assen circuit in the Netherlands in a race that was dominated by experienced riders from his home country. Marquez, just 16-years old, started at tenth on the grid and in the middle of the race managed to fight his way up to seventh place but several incidents in the latter part meant he finally had to settle for tenth at the chequered flag. Marquez is currently in a very creditable sixth place in the championship standings with 55 points so far this season. Marc Marquez: We had a hard weekend here at Assen. The track was difficult for our bike. Everything was quite okay with the chassis and I had no problem with the handling but the engine was not perfect. We are missing something when it comes to the acceleration. My start was ok but there was a lot of fighting and touching in the first corners and I did lose some positions. I managed to close the gap to the group in front of us in the second half of the race but then Olive and I touched. We came off the track and some guys could pass me again in the final battle. I’m sure that we will improve for Sachsenring.” The team’s other factory rider, the American Cameron Beaubier, was not so lucky and finished in gravel in the opening phase of the race after losing the back of his bike in a closely fought group. The young rookie was apologetic because he took another rider out with him in the incident. Cameron Beaubier: “I had a decent start and I was doing okay in the first couple corners and could pass a couple guys. But then everyone in the group was on the brakes a bit early in the very tight left corner and Tito Rabat touched me. I tried to go to the outside and hit the brakes hard so I would not tough Danny Webb but I then crashed and I took Danny with me. I have to go and apologize to him.”
