Under mild skies and a dry track, the Moto3 race set the tone this Sunday in Assen by offering us a performance full of twists and turns. In the end, it was Bagnaia who won, a first for him and the Mahindra brand.

Migno follows for his first podium in front By Giannantonio which is gaining strength. The result of the first city was however not validated by the commissioners who considered its excursion outside the limits of the track in the final assault as an irregular advantage. The VR46 driver will be classified third.

fenati only follows and scores the points for fourth place ahead Antonelli and Jules Danilo who has never seen victory so close and who records his best career result at this level.

Bulega, Mir and Bendsneyder follow as Dalla Porta closes the top 10 for a losing Estrella team Canet quite early in this fiery ordeal.

Italy was therefore in the spotlight in the Netherlands while this race was marked by twelve spectacular falls. Arenas, Pawi and Darryn Binder fell alone but the other accidents were a couple's story. Rodrigo, hot as embers, fell into the peloton in the first laps leading Quarterly in his misfortune. Masbou clashed with Suzuki, Canet ruined the hopes of Guevara who could have taken the Honda Estella on the helmet while Open up et bastianini will have things to say to each other in the paddock.

One who has avoided the fall is one Brad Binder who narrowly missed the fatal mistake before rejoining the track and taking the points for twelfth place. A position which allows it to further increase its lead in the championship which increases to 48 points on a NAVARRO package while fenati is still 58 lengths away.
