Japanese rider wins Dutch MotoGP race after Italian leader crashes

The 25-year-old passed his Trackhouse team-mate late in the race and finished more than two seconds ahead. Italian rider Marco Bezzecchi, who led the championship before the race, crashed at over 200 km/h on lap three. Medical staff treated him at the circuit before transferring him to hospital for further checks.

Race outcome His Aprilia team said the 27-year-old was conscious and showed no major physical or neurological damage, though he reported intense pain. The same team noted he had missed the previous round in Brno after a suspension. Ogura's victory marked the first Japanese win in the premier class since 2004.

He said after the race that he was very happy and thanked his team. Jorge Martin finished third after starting from pole position and now leads the riders' championship. Bezzecchi sits seven points behind in second place, while Ogura moved up to fourth.

Seven-time world champion Marc Marquez finished sixth after a penalty for exceeding track limits on the final lap. Two other factory riders retired during the race.
