On the splendid setting of the Assen track, the so-called “University of Motorcycles”, we witnessed a round that confirmed the riders.

The gaps are minimal, as confirmed by the fourth time Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Factory) in 1:32.359 at 50 thousandths.
Fifth position for Jorge Martin (Ducati Pramac) 186 thousandths behind, sixth place Enea Bastianini (Ducati Factory) at 198, therefore seventh Marco Bezzecchi (Ducati Pertamina VR46) at 213. Eighth Franco Morbidelli (Ducati Pramac) 369 thousandths behind Di Giannantonio, therefore ninth Alex Marquez (Ducati Gresini) at 466, while closing the top10 Pedro Acosta (Gas Gas Tech3) at 468, immediately in front of Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) a 501.
