Marc Marquez claimed his third 125cc victory in a row with relati🍷ve ease at Assen o💎n Saturday.

Nicolas Terol was th👍e only rider that could stick with the leading Ajo Red Bull Derbi🍬, but as the pair were lapping backmarkers with six laps to go local wild-card Jerry van de Bunt proved reluctant to move off line.

Ter💙ol was forced to try and lever his way past to stay in touch with Marquez🐓, sending van de Bunt to the ground and handing Marquez the chance he needed to break away.

Marquez, unbea♓ten since his first grand prix victory at Mugello, is now the second youngest rider after Marco Melandri to w💯in three successive GP races and has moved within eleven points of the championship lead.

The only consolation for runner-up Terol is that the Aspar Aprilia rider has now re-taken the title advantage by three points from Pol Espargaro, who got a poor start and had lost touch with the leaders by the time he took thi🎃rd with a double pass on Bradley Smith and Efren Vasquez on lap 3 of 22.

Vasquez, Espargaro's Tuenti Derbi team-mate, fell soon after, while Terols' team-mate Smith rodeꦆ to f𒉰ourth.
