Sprint race in Assen from 3 p.m. LIVE
Two-time MotoGP World Champion Francesco Bagnaia won the sprint at the Dutch Motorcycle Grand Prix on Saturday.
The Italian Ducati rider won after 13 laps at the TT Circuit Assen ahead of Spanish brand colleague Jorge Martin and his compatriot Maverick Vinales (Aprilia). In the world championship standings, Bagnaia reduced the gap to leader Martin by three points to 15 points. The Dutch Grand Prix follows on Sunday (14:00/live ServusTV, Sky).
The best KTM rider was South African Brad Binder in sixth place. His colleagues Pedro Acosta in tenth and Jack Miller in 13th came away empty-handed in terms of points, while Spaniard Marc Marquez (Ducati) crashed into the gravel and retired. The six-time MotoGP champion had already crashed in qualifying.
On Sunday, Bagnaia (165 world championship points) can make up further ground on rival Martin (180). The 27-year-old, who set a lap record of 1:30.540 minutes in qualifying, will start from pole position ahead of the world championship leader and Vinales. For KTM, another race to catch up is on the cards, with Binder starting the race from ninth position just ahead of Acosta.
