Raúl Fernández Leads Trackhouse Aprilia 1-2 In Assen MotoGP Sprint

A boost to the satellite team's recovery, the result also shows stewarding rulings can directly change Sprint placings.

Overview

  • Raúl Fernández won the Assen MotoGP Sprint with teammate Ai Ogura second to give Trackhouse Aprilia its first 1-2 finish.
  • Fernández said this was his second Sprint win this year and the result strengthens his case while his 2027 ride remains unconfirmed.
  • A last-lap track-limits sanction against Francesco Bagnaia moved him down to seventh and materially altered the final classification.
  • Pole-sitter Jorge Martín dropped through the order to finish fifth while satellite rider Fabio Di Giannantonio took third ahead of Ducati's factory riders.
  • One published report contains an internal inconsistency about Marc Márquez’s finishing place, naming him sixth in the headline and seventh in the article body.
