In Friday practice for the MotoGP Dutch GP, Gresini's Alex Marquez and Fermin Aldeguer both suffered heavy crashes. Their team issued updates on both riders' conditions, with Aldeguer taken to hospital. The incidents underscored just how risky Assen can be.
Assen's fast section shows no mercy if you go down. Both Alex and Aldeguer crashed as a result of attacking, not something to blame them for. But having heard the sound of a machine slamming into the ground trackside myself, all I can do is hope they're okay. Marc said the risk was extremely high, and that's exactly the kind of day it turned out to be.

Assen has so many fast corners that crash impacts tend to be bigger there.
Have the specific injury details for both of them not been released yet?
Being taken to the hospital could just be a precautionary check, so it's a wait for further updates.
This much intensity in Friday practice already makes me worried about managing their condition through to the race.
Both Gresini riders crashing together suggests the conditions that day were genuinely brutal.
Arenas being taken to the hospital is genuinely worrying news, hope we hear he's okay soon.
