2024 Dutch GP MotoGP Race Results

The Dutch TT was dominated by Pecco Bagnaia, who achieved victory on Sunday from pole position. The winner of the sprint race on Saturday made it three triumphs in full races in a row, following on from Barcelona and Mugello. It was also his third win in a row in Holland, and equalled Casey Stoner’s 23 victories for Ducati.

In second was Jorge Martín, with Enea Bastianini repeating his fightback from Italy to place third. Marc Márquez finished fourth, but was penalized due to low pressure and ended tenth. Fabio Di Giannantonio was fourth and Maverick Viñales, who was penalised with a position on the last lap for exceeding the track limits, fifth.

The Top 10 was completed by Brad Binder, Álex Márquez, Raúl Fernández, and Franco Morbidelli.

With a fifth victory of the season from eight races, Bagnaia is just 10 points behind Jorge Martín, who remains top of the standings with 200 points.

The next round on the MotoGP calendar will take place in just seven days’ time: The German Grand Prix.

Difficult weekend for Repsol Honda

Repsol Honda teammate Luca Marini lost a position off the line, then crashed on Lap 3. The Italian was able to continue in the race and finally crossed the finish line 17th.

General Standings

Statements

Joan Mir

“During the start I had made some progress and was with the group fighting for the top ten. I was happy with my speed and breaking away from the riders behind and my feeling was improving with every lap. I was trying hard in Sector 1 to recover the time I was losing in other parts of the track and in turn three I leant just a little bit too much and lost the front. I am a rider that is always going to try for more, and sometimes this means we fall. That ended our race. We can see the areas we need to work during the break.”

Luca Marini

“This weekend was full of bad luck for us, in today’s race I had the pace to fight with Zarco. Augusto Fernandez made contact with me early in the race and I went into the gravel, losing a lot of time. I really thing I had the potential to finish in the points. It’s clear that we need to keep on working and I think a fast track like Assen gives us some insight into what areas are most critical. It’s really good to have Sachsenring now, to have a better race before another break.”
