Marquez third on day 1 at Assen, with Pedrosa tenth

Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa set the third- and 10^th-fastest lap times during the cloudy yet almost totally dry opening day of the Dutch TT.

With weather forecasts showing a high chance of rain for tomorrow, Marc and Dani tried several Michelin tyres and worked on their bike setup before going into “time attack” mode in FP2, securing top-10 spots that could put them straight into Q2 if rain actually does disrupt the proceedings.
