Lorenzo continues MotoGP dominance in Holland
Spain's Jorge Lorenzo took another win at the Dutch TT on Saturday, further cementing his championship lead. It was his first premier class victory at Assen, having previously won once in the 125's and twice in the 250 class, finishing three seconds ahead of Honda's Dani Pedrosa. I imagine there are few riders in the paddock who would like to get their hands on that number 46 Yamaha, currently sitting unused on the other side of the garage!
Andrea Iannone took his second successive victory in Moto2 class, ahead of championship leader Tony Elias and Thomas Luthi. Second place was probably a relief for Elias, who had struggled with several problems in the last few rounds, only finishing 10th at Sliverstone last time out.
Mark Marquez also continued a run of dominance in his class, taking the 125cc Dutch TT win. The Spaniard opened up a two second advantage and did not relinquish it. Nicolas Terol and Pol Espargo finished second and third respectively. Our own Bradley Smith finished fourth and here's to hoping that the Oxfordshire lad gets another Grand Prix win this year.
Apart from my longing for the circuit van Drenthe to reinstate it's old layout, I really wish that the television producer would stop following Marquez's father around the Assen pit's. They've done it for the last two races as well and it's getting annoying. Anyone would have thought he was the 'star', for crying out loud...
