the french pilot fabio quartararo (Yamaha), Spanish Sergio Garcia Dols (GasGas) and the Italian Celestino Vietti (Kalex) will try to take advantage of the Dutch Grand Prixeleventh test of the World Motorcycle Championship taking place this weekend at Assen Circuitto go on vacation with a smile and, in the case of the first, with half a title in his pocket.
‘Cathedral’ will be the scene of last race before the grid takes a ‘break’ until early August and the three leaders of MotoGP, Moto3 Y Moto2 they face it with different pressuressince only the ‘Devil’ knows that no matter what happens he will return to Silverstone (England) as first classified in the ‘queen’ category.
And it is that in MotoGP is where at the moment less emotion is glimpsed, with a Quartararo who is acting as the current champion and that dominates the championship quite comfortably after adding at Sachsenring (Germany) last weekend his third win of the year Y second in a row.
The arrival in Europe has brought the greatest dominance of the Yamaha rider, who he only curiously ‘failed’ at the home date, at Le Mans, with a fourth place. To the triumphs of him in Portugal, Barcelona Y Germany join two second places in Sherry and Italy to reach the 172 points34 more than his main pursuer, the Spanish Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia).
Granollers is being the most regular, but his bike fails to have the potential of the ‘M1’ and that deprives him of being able to fight for victories. And without them, currently, cutting the one from Nice seems complicated. Also, at Assen, Yamaha has been performing well lately, with three wins in their last four visits, including the last two thanks to Quartararo and Maverick Viñales.
Nevertheless, in ‘La Catedral’ a complicated weekend is expected due to the weather and that could lead to a change of script in which an Espargaró who could only finish fourth at the Sachsenring and who is displaying great regularity, may have more options.
After the first two classifiedthe best placed to be ahead are the ducati, who alternate good careers with other negative ones. In the German Grand Prixthe French johan zarco and the australian Jack Miller They accompanied Quartararo on the podium, although the Borgo Panigale brand has not won at Assen since 2008 with the Australian Casey Stoner and is not on the podium in 2017.
