Assen Motogp Race...Possible Spoiler alert

Crazy race. For a supposed Yamaha track, the factory Yamaha team disappointed.

When does Ducati get the stricter rules?

I believe after 3 rd podium. Wonder if there will be team orders now to back off?

Btw did you see the coverage of Marquez turning left at a 60 degree angle at 189 km/h ( 117 mph) ... GADS!

All 3 races were exiting. Moto3 had a dry race but a lot of crashes. Felt bad for Jack Miller. Fenati had an eventful race, going off track and dropping to 30th, climbing back into 5th, and then crashing out. Jack probably felt bad about that......

Rossi may have won this race if he had started on dry tires as he originally intended. The slowest qualifier started on dry tires and as the track dried he was 8th. Rossi made the switch to wet after the warm up and had to start from pit row yet still managed to finish 5th and at one point had turned the fastest race lap. The rain and the strategies used to deal with a wet then dry track have more to say than the brand bike. Aliex Espargaro was able to dice successfully with Pedrosa for much of the race despite being on a "customer" grade Yamaha. Marquez was again the Super Alien, dealing successfully with everything the weather and his challengers had to offer and making it all look easy.
