The Motul TT Assen featured crashes, injuries and penalties, but at the end of the day, Ducati maintained its dominant form, with reigning World Champion Francseco Bagnaia topping every practice session, taking pole and leading the Sprint race from start to finish. So far this season, the Bologna manufacturer has won six of the eight Sprint races, as well as six of the seven Grand Prix races. Next year, Ducati will lose two of the bikes it currently fields, as Prima Pramac Racing will become a Yamaha factory team. Yamaha’s plan is to add two more factory bikes to the pair it currently fields to help gather data, test parts and develop the YZR-M1 back to race-winning form. But both Honda and KTM have run four-bike operations in MotoGP for several years, and upstart Pedro Acosta is perhaps the only real bright spot in the Austrian manufacturer’s season so far, while Honda’s RC213V remains nailed to the bottom of the timesheets.
Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales has been the biggest threat to Ducati this season, and the Spaniard put his RS-GP on the front row and finished on the podium during the Sprint.
Francesco Bagnaia crashed out of three straight Sprint races at the beginning of the season and finished on the podium only once in the first six, but has rebounded and taken two consecutive Sprint races. Title contender Jorge Martin received a three-place grid drop for Sunday’s race for riding slowly on the racing line during practice.
Marc Marquez’ first weekend after signing as a factory Ducati rider for 2025 started well, but Saturday was a disaster. An ill-timed lunge during qualifying beneath Aleix Espargaro saw him on the ground and relegated to seventh on the grid, while a mistake in the Sprint resulted in another crash and zero points on Saturday.
PJ Jacobsen earned pole position during MotoAmerica Supersport Qualifying Two (Q2) Saturday morning at Ridge Motorsports Park, in Shelton, Washington. Riding his Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL Panigale V2 on Dunlop control tires, the Championship point leader lapped the 2.5-mile course in 1:42.524, topping the field of 28 riders and eclipsing the lap record of 1:42.538 set by Mathew Scholtz on Friday.
Scholtz suffered an oil leak on his Strack Racing Yamaha YZF-R6 during Q2, limiting his track time and performance, but the 1:42.538 he did in Qualifying One on Friday held up as second-best.
Tyler Scott qualified third with a time of 1:42.889 on his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750.
Qualifiers on the second row include Rahal Ducati Moto w/Code 3 Associates’ Corey Alexander (1:42.984), Jacobsen’s 17-year-old teammate Kayla Yaakov (1:43.009), and Altus Motorsports Suzuki’s Jake Lewis (1:43.031).

Uriarte steals Race 1 Rookies Cup win at Assen
Brian Uriarte scored a sensational victory with a 6th to 5th gear masterstroke on the final, incredible, passing inundated lap of Assen. Taking Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup Race 1 in the Netherlands and the Cup lead.
The 15-year-old Spaniard led Rico Salmela (2nd) and Valentin Perrone (3rd) in a flash across the line with just one second covering the top 8 KTMs.
9 riders went into the race needing to perform long lap penalties after issues in practice, mainly slow and inconsiderate riding. This reorganised the lead group in the early laps but the fastest riders like pole man Alvaro Carpe, Salmela and Perrone soon got back to the front.
Carpe fought to hold the lead for much of the race but had shown his cards and got trumped on the final lap.
Uriarte had the answer up his sleeve
“As I said yesterday, there was no plan before the race because it just gets so crazy. I rode a lot on my own in practice and I felt I had a really good flow here. I felt that in the race too, I was really comfortable. I did have a big front wheel slide, saved it, a bit of skill, a good bit of luck.”
“Alvaro was fast through the final section but as I followed him I realised that he was doing the last very fast left-hander in 6th and I was doing it in 5th. That gave me the better drive down to the chicane.”
“I didn’t want to show him earlier, on the last lap I went for it and got in front of him before that. I knew I had it then he would not get past.”
Salmela missed by 0.112 seconds
“It wasn’t easy starting with a long lap penalty but I felt confident all race and I didn’t need to rush to go to the front,” stated the 16-year-old Finn. “I tried to stick with Carpe and Perrone all race. Carpe had a good speed, I felt like I could have gone faster but I didn’t want to fight too much.”
“The last lap didn’t go like I wanted, I had a good slipstream down the back straight, got in a good position but was not quite close enough to Brian down to the chicane at the end to go for it. But still, P2 is not bad.”
Perrone podiums
“I’m happy about this race because yesterday I made some mistakes in Qualifying and I got a long lap penalty,” explained the Argentine 16-year-old. “But in the race, I did the long lap so fast and I caught the lead group back quickly and I was in P2 to P5 all the laps.
“In the last lap, I lost some positions in the last corner because there was almost a collision but I made a good exit and overtook Carpe and made the podium, for tomorrow I will try to do even better.”
Veda Pratama an impressive 4th
“I’m really happy with the result for Race 1,” enthused the 15-year-old Indonesian. “In the last lap, I tried to get on the podium but I missed a gear exiting a corner into the fast section before the finish and then I shifted and touched someone so lost places. I finished P4 and I’m still happy but I want more tomorrow.”
Ruche Moodley loses early advantage
“When I got to the front I tried to push hard so that it would break up the group a little bit,” explained the South African 17-year-old. “I thought that I had the pace from yesterday. But when they came back from the long lap penalty I got passed and dropped too far back. So tomorrow I need to pass someone as soon as they pass me and not allow myself to drop back.”
Carpe clipped at the finish
“I was running a good pace with a lot of confidence,” stated the Spanish 17-year-old who still holds 3rd in the points table.” I had to do the long lap but then in less than 2 laps I caught the group and I led almost all the race. But then on the last lap, 2 riders overtook me in the back straight out of the slipstream.”
“Then one more on the brakes into the chicane on the last lap. Then another rider touched me quite hard, at the last corner. I am happy to take P6 because it could be a lot worse, it could have been a nasty crash.”
