06/29/2024 07:06 AM

MotoGP World Champion Francesco Bagnaia shattered the existing lap record at Assen and took pole at the Motul TT Assen. After Championship leader Jorge Martin went fastest on the second lap, setting the first ever sub 1:31 lap at the circuit, Bagnaia calmly went back out onto a relatively empty track and dropped the time to a 1:30.540, smashing the outright record he had set the day before. The rest of the field waited until the last minute and then jockeyed for position like a pack of Moto3 riders, leaving all of them scrambling for clear track and Marc Marquez crashing out after diving under and colliding with Aleix Espargaro.
