Dutch MotoGP - Race Results

Vinales takes Yamaha's first victory of the season at the Dutch MotoGP, after edging clear of Marquez in the closing stages at Assen.

Rookie star Quartararo, starting from back-to-back poles, spent large parts of the race in the lead but had to shut the throttle during some scary highspeed-wobbles down the back straight.

The Frenchman, still recovering from arm pump surgery, eventually settled into third for his second rostrum in a row.

Dutch MotoGP - Race Results

Vinales takes Yamaha's first victory of the season at the Dutch MotoGP, after edging clear of Marquez in the closing stages at Assen.

Rookie star Quartararo, starting from back-to-back poles, spent large parts of the race in the lead but had to shut the throttle during some scary highspeed-wobbles down the back straight.

The Frenchman, still recovering from arm pump surgery, eventually settled into third for his second rostrum in a row.

Vinales and Quartararo chose the hard rear tyre, with Marquez - who extends his title lead over Dovizioso - on the soft.

Rins took the holeshot from Suzuki team-mate Mir, only to fall from the lead on lap 3.

Rossi - who had qualified down in 14th - was also out early after tangling with Nakagami, the Japanese needing medical assistance after their fast Turn 8 incident, but later described as 'okay'.

Jorge Lorenzo was ruled out of the remainder of the Assen event, and next weekend's German round, after suffering fractures to his vertebrae during FP1 on Friday.
