The reigning double world champion led from start to finish at the Assen circuit to win the Dutch Motorcycle Grand Prix.
Francesco Bagnaia claimed his third consecutive Dutch MotoGP ahead of championship leader Jorge Martin to narrow the gap to 10 points in his quest for a third straight world title.
Bagnaia’s factory Ducati teammate, Enea Bastianini, completed the podium at Assen on Sunday.
Polesitter Bagnaia led from the start to ride a flawless race, capping a memorable weekend after he also claimed victory in Saturday’s sprint race.
After giving a riding masterclass, the rider from Turin said “It’s incredible.
“I had to push from the start and suffering a bit from the rear tyre. But lap-by-lap I improved.”
