Moto GP Star Touches Over 186 mph and Breaks All Records to Set Fastest Lap to Secure Pole Position

The ‘Cathedral of Speed’, as fans of motorcycle racing fondly call the Assen racing track, just got graced with its newest and finest record breaker. All set to give you an adrenaline spike, Marco Bezzecchi has broken the earlier lap record and claimed the pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix at Assen.

This fiery star was racing almost at the speed of 186 mph, executing his motorcycle enthusiasm and practice to perfection as seen in the footage shared on Twitter by the official MotoGP page.

Marco Bezzecchi wins the sprint

Marco Bezzecchi eclipsed fellow Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia in the sprint. But this win didn’t come easy for the Italian rider.

Bagnaia initially prodded Bezzecchi out of the way in the first turn, which led to Red Bull KTM’s Binder moving ahead. Binder then stood at no 2 with Marco standing at number three. Subsequently, Bezzecchi outpaced Binder and then took the lead through his fastest lap. However, he was ahead by merely a second, which was not enough to take the lead. He had to work through the entire 13 laps to win this sprint against Bagnaia.
