Marc Marquez gave a tongue i🔴n cheek response when he was asked what he had learnt from Valentino Rossi after the pair slugged it out in a dramatic Dutch MotoGP a𝕴t Assen.

The duo went head to head throughout the race, which produced an explosive finish when they touchꦓed at the final chicane on the last lap as Repsol Honda rider Marquez attempted a pass on the brakes on Rossi's 🍌inside.

Yamaha rider Rossi stood his machine upright after the c🎉ontact was made and powered through the gravel, returning to the track to seal victory over the defending world champion.

In the post-race press conference, Marquez was reminded ꩵthat he often reveals🐻 he has learned a lot from the nine-times world champion.

But asked if there was anything he had learned from Rossi in this particular race, Mar🗹quez said: "Some motocross! Only this, nothing more."

Pressed further on whether or not he felt Rossi had seized the opportunity to rid🍷e through the gravel after the contact was made, Marquez said: "No, I don't think anybody wants to find the contact but what I did I think was the perfect lap because I go in [to the chicane] and stopped the bike to be on the correct line, to close later the space for Valentino for the second chicane [exit].

"But ok, I think when we had the contact we were already reall💜y in the same position - I was not really back and I think he already saw me.

"But I think I can be proud about this last lap because🍨 I gained 0.4 and I did the perfect chicane with what I planned yesterday," he ad⭕ded.

"What I know is I did the correct [thing]. W💧hat I already say, I think I did the pe🌌rfect last lap, last corner.

"I prepared like this and when I stopped the bike I had the place and then we had the contact and we already know in that chicane it is really tight๊, so I know that I did the correct."

Assen was the second time this season that Marquez has come-off second best wh🔴ile battling with Rossi for victory at the end of a race, having fallen after contact with the Italian in Argentina.

The clash between the pair was deemed a rac🅘ing incident by Race Direction.
