Vital points for the #63, which approaches the Fabio Quartararo, Aleix Espargaró and Enea Bastianini in the general
Third victory of the course for ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia, who did not fail this time and was able to do what he does best when he takes the lead from the beginning. The Italian, who may have had to fight with Aleix Espargaro Y fabio quartararo if they hadn’t gotten into a fight too soon, he managed the advantage over his friend well Marco Bezzecchi to win at the Assen TT. The podium was completed Maverick Vinales with what supposes the first podium of the Catalan with Aprilia.
Paradigm change in the championship, with the fall of fabio quartararo when tried to overtake Aleix Espargaró at the start of the race. The Catalan, with a spectacular comeback until fourth place, but Fabio, with the bike damaged, crashed again in an action that could have been much more damaging for him.
Stratospheric start of ‘Pecco’ Bagnaiawhich went perfectly to take advantage of Fabio falling to fourth position. The devil’aware of the intentions of his greatest rival, it didn’t take her long to get rid of Jorgealthough it was Aleix who initially led the pursuit of the #63 in the lead.
With Bagnaia more or less neutralized, the theatrical blow came much sooner than expected. Quartararo tried to overtake Aleix at turn 5, but entered past and took Aleix aheadalthough both were able to get back on track (the aprilia in the 15th place, and Yamaha’sin the 24th and last).

After the incident, the persecution of ‘Pecco’ began to lead Bezzecchi and Martin, although already from a distance that ‘Pecco’ would control perfectly. In the meantime, Aleix was going up, something that Quartararo could not do, who remained -already doubled- on the track with the damaged bike. At the rate that Quartararo suffered his second fall -it’s very hard-Bagnaia continued to open in the lead, while Bezzecchi did the same with Vinales, B. Binder, Miller, and Martin.
With the passing of the laps, the time and the drops began to stalk the dutch track and the teams to prepare in the box, until with nine laps to go, the white flags appeared, which luckily, remained an anecdote.
The podium positions remained as they were, with Miller’s scare over Viñales that the one from Roses managed, finally, without problems. the feat arrived in the fight for fourth place, with a double overtaking of Aleix Espargaro on B. Binder and Jack Miller at the finishing chicane to put the finishing touch to one of the best comebacks that have never been seen in the ‘Cathedral’ of Assen.
The championship opens after a day that was a real disaster for Yamaha: Besides the double fall of the ‘Devil’ they didn’t finish the race Franco Morbidelli neither Darryn Binder. Either Raul Fernandez.
