Overview
- Raúl Fernández won the MotoGP sprint in Assen ahead of teammate Ai Ogura, with Fabio Di Giannantonio third in the official classification.
- The official sprint times show Fernández finished in 20:05.310, Ogura 0.362 seconds back and Di Giannantonio 1.131 seconds behind the winner.
- Joan Mir crashed and was not classified, while Diogo Moreira recovered from a low grid spot to finish 11th just outside the points.
- The sprint moved Fernández up to ninth in the riders’ standings on 118 points, while Marco Bezzecchi remained the championship leader on 186 points and Jorge Martín sat second on 177.
- Sprint races award fewer points than the main Grand Prix, so the result boosts Trackhouse momentum but the weekend’s main race will have the larger effect on the title fight.
