According to Crash.net, Aprilia concluded that Marco Bezzecchi's frightening crash at Assen came from carrying too much speed through Turn 15. 'He was simply going too fast' is the team's conclusion, in an analysis of how an aggressive push led to a major crash.
'Too fast' -- blunt, but that's the truth of racing. Cross the limit by just a hair at Turn 15, and you're on the ground. I've had my own share of crashing while pushing too. Bezzecchi's aggressive riding is a weapon, but that blade sometimes turns on him. This is exactly the shape the cost of attacking takes.

Depending on how bad the injury is, it could end up affecting the championship fight in the second half of the season.
'The price of pushing hard' is a heavy phrase, but I hope he's uninjured enough to line up for the next race.
Is Turn 15 known as one of the tricky spots on the Assen circuit?
It's one of the stretches with a run of fast corners, easy to carry speed through but that comes with higher risk too.
Calling it a 'terrifying crash' suggests it was a pretty big one, hope he's okay.
The team's analysis feels a bit too simple — were setup or other factors really not involved at all?
'Simply too fast' is a blunt conclusion, but it's also proof of just how hard he was pushing.
Carrying too much speed through Turn 15 is both Bezzecchi's signature trait and his weak point.
