Defending MotoGP World Champion Francesco Bagnaia set a new lap record at Assen during the final MotoGP practice on Friday. Bagnaia survived a late challenge by Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales, who came up just 0.065 seconds short of the factory Ducati rider. Bagnaia’s 1:31.340 is more than a second quicker than the existing race lap record, a 1:32.500 set by Aleix Espargaro in 2022.
