Be first to comment this story

Jorge Lorenzo won today in Assen for the first time in MotoGP class, now having victories on Dutch circuit in all three categories. Victory in Assen was a bit more difficult to achieve for Lorenzo, as this time he was closely followed by Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner. However, Lorenzo opted for hard rear tyre unlike Pedrosa and Stoner, which proved to be smart decision in closing stages of the race. Dani Pedrosa managed to improve setup in warm-up and get in the really high pace in first part of the race, eventually finishing in second place. Casey Stoner also opted for medium rear tyre, which allowed him to stay with Lorenzo and Pedrosa in first part of the race and then to settle in 3rd place.

Ben Spies once again proved his potential by taking 4th place in Assen, battling with Dovizioso for this position and wining that battle. Dovizioso finished in 5th place, managing to defend it from charging Randy de Puniet. French rider finished in 6th place, around 10 seconds ahead of Nicky Hayden. Colin Edwards finished in 8th place, in front of two rookies - Marko Simoncelli and Aleix Espargaro.

Jorge Lorenzo increased his championship lead to 47 points, but this time over Dani Pedrosa, who came in front of his team-mate Andrea Dovizioso.
