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

The duo went head to head throughout the race, which produced an explosive finish when they touched at the final chicane on the last lap as Repsol Honda rider Mar🐼quez attempted a pass on the brakes on Rossi's ins♋ide.

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

In the post-race press conference, Marquez was reminded th𝄹at he often revea🎐ls 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, Marquez said: "Some motocross! Only this, nothing more."

Pressed further on whether or not he felt Rossi had seized the opportunity to ride 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 thi💞nk 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 really 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 yest✅erday," he added.

"Whওat I know is I did the correct [thing]. What 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 tight, so I know that I did the correct."

Assen was the second time this season that Marquez has come-off second best whi🌌le battling with Rossi for victory at the end of a race, having fallen after contact with the Itali🌌an in Argentina.

The clash 𝕴between the pair was deemed a racing incide🐷nt by Race Direction.
