Large and enthusiastic crowd of MotoGP fans at the famous TT Circuit Assen • Total Motorcycle

• 6th place for Brad Binder after improved speed and competitiveness compared to his 6th place run in Saturday’s sprint. The South African occupies the same place in the championship standings
• Jack Miller chases the top ten and crosses the finish line in eleventh place.
• Red Bull KTM Ajo sees Jose Antonio Rueda achieve his best Grand Prix result with 4th place in Moto3™

As is usual in this part of the world, a large and enthusiastic crowd of MotoGP fans flocked to the flat and famous TT Circuit Assen to contest the 75th Grand Prix at the Dutch track. In contrast to Friday and Saturday, the weather was cloudy and cool as MotoGP headed out for another ‘doubleheader’.

Next week we head to the Sachsenring in Germany for another normally sold-out Grand Prix with a tradition stretching back to the first decades of the FIM World Championship’s history.

Brad Binder, 6.: “Quite a hectic race. I went for the soft rear tyre because I thought I had more potential to keep up with the guys up front, but the reality was that they were able to set a super fast pace with the medium and we just gave it our all to keep up with them. It was definitely tricky. I would have liked to go home with a better result, but I didn’t leave anything on the table. We still have some work to do. I don’t feel bad. I know the limit up front and I didn’t crash at all this weekend. We just need to find more speed.”

Jack Miller, 11.: “Better. We improved last night and were able to ride a little better pace. I had a nice fight and was able to gain confidence. The change we made gave me more feeling with the front of the bike and I was happy with that. It’s a basic level to restart with and I’m crossing my fingers that we can still make some improvements.”

Francesco Guidotti, Team Manager of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing: “We have some homework to do. Overall, the weekend was not too bad. Brad had a straight Q2 on Friday and a decent sprint considering the front tyre pressure. Our expectations for today were a bit higher but he struggled to keep up with the pace of the leading group. We have some useful information and will have to work very hard over the next few days. Jack feels like he is ‘back’ despite his position. We made a strong change since yesterday and he has grown with the new setup. Another small point to start again from. Let’s try to achieve more next weekend in Germany.”

Celestino Vietti had high hopes of scoring a decent points haul in Moto2. The Italian fought his way around the top ten positions throughout the 22-lap race and although he was overtaken by Senna Agius on the finish line, he was awarded P10 after his rival hit the track barrier. Deniz Öncü, recovering from a left hand injury, was replaced by Marcel Schrötter and the experienced German rode to 18th place despite a lack of time and mileage on the current Moto2 machines and tyres.

The 2024 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup reached round four (the seventh and eighth races of the season) at Assen. New championship leader Brian Uriarte took the first chequered flag on Saturday afternoon, but it was Argentinian Marco Morelli who stood out from the close-knit group of young riders to win the second race of the weekend, claiming his second triumph of the season.
