Impressive the Moto2 race that we have lived in Assen. Augusto Fernández has achieved his first victory in the motorcycle world championship thanks to a final crash by Lorenzo Baldasarri and Álex Márquez. The two drivers were fighting for victory and the leadership of the world championship, and the Italian made a mistake that ended with both of them on the ground.

After this incident, Thomas Luthi inherits the leadership of the World Cup despite the fact that he was the rider with the least rhythm of the three leaders. In fact, the Swiss had the luck of the champion by not falling when he took Xavi Vierge's motorcycle, which had crashed right in front of him. Luthi stayed on his feet, finished fourth and is the new leader.

The pace was so slow that two new riders joined the group. In addition to Baldasarri, the other KTM, Jorge Martín's, also joined the peloton.
