Assen’s Moto3 Race was yet another breathtaking one from the field of 250cc single cylinder prototype motorcycles. Your usual suspects scrapped it out at the front, with Bastianini, Fenati and Quartararo barging their way past the likes of Championship leader Danny Kent, Mugello winner Oliveira, Jorge Navarro and Brad Binder. Danny Kent said before the start he’d try pull away like he always tries…but it really wasn’t to be today.
After a full race of banzai style overtaking, the last lap ended with a second win of the season for Miguel Oliveira, denying 2nd placed Fabio Quartararo his first Grand Prix win. Danny Kent yet again playing it cool, collecting another podium after passing Fenati and Navarro on the last lap.
