MotoGP: 5 Talking points from Dutch TT 2019

Assen delivered for Yamaha as they notched up their first win of the season

#2 Marquez is making all the right moves

Marquez was once again able to stretch his lead at the top of the standings

After the DNF at Barcelona, it's becoming a little too much of an ask to expect Dovizioso to catch Marquez.

Every race Marc pulls out just a little bit at the top and Dovizioso doesn't seem to have an answer.

The current World Champion is currently riding at a level that is above anyone on the grid and it shows.

He hasn't been below P2 whenever he has finished the race and the worst part is that even on an off weekend, he still manages to be competitive.

It could be argued that Marquez could have pushed Vinales a lot more in the end but looking at the championship he chose not to.

It's become quite clear that Marquez has got the Dovi-Ducati combo covered and the championship is heading his way by the end of the season.
