First victory of 2023 for the Spaniard who is now only 16 points behind leader Holgado, who crashed today. On the podium also Sasaki and Oncu
A simply crazy race: the Motul TT in Assen’s Moto3TM going to Jaume Masia (Leopard Racing) which is only 16 points behind the leader of the standings Daniel Holgado (Red Bull KTM Tech 3), today at its first zero of the season. Masià returns to that victory he was missing from Le Mans 2022. They also get on the podium Ayumu Sasaki (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) e Sea Pioneer (Red Bull KTM Ajo).
Baggy, one zero pesante
David Muñoz (BOE Motorsports) starts from pole and maintains first position ahead of Joel Kelso (CFMoto Racing Pruestel GP) who overtook him a few corners later. Crash on first lap for Daniel Holgado (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) who returns to the track and finishes 25th.
Great comeback for Ortolá
Among the top ten we find Muñoz, Jaume Masià (Leopard Racing), Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo), Sea Pioneer (Red Bull KTM Ajo) e Ayumu Sasaki (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP). They are the ones who try to stretch while Iván Ortola (Angeluss MTA Team) – started 20th – with an infernal pace he climbs up to the top positions after also serving a Long Lap Penalty.
In 10 fighting for the win
With five laps to go, six remain fighting for success in the group led by Stefano Nepa (Angeluss MTA Team) who then collides with Muñoz. Up front are again ten, between overtaking and counter-overtaking… Sasaki tries to attack Masiá a few corners from the end but the Spaniard resists and goes on to win ahead of the Japanese and Oncu.
Ortolá ends fourth in front of Muñoz, Rueda, Collin Veijer (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP), Romano Fenati (Rivacold Snipers Team), Kelso e Nepa.
