Assen, Netherlands, June 26, 2023 — Francesco Bagnaia won his fourth GP race of the year at the Assen Circuit in the Netherlands, finishing ahead of Marco Bezzecchi. However, due to a low-speed slide-out, Enea Bastianini could not finish the race.
Bagnaia led the race from the front, with a comfortable margin of 1.2 seconds over Bezzecchi.
Brad Binder surprised the riders on the front row to take the holeshot from fifth on the grid. However, Bagnaia took the lead from him and maintained it for the rest of the race, leading the chequered flag first for the seventh time this year. This win boosted his championship lead to 35 points over Martin and 36 points over Bezzecchi.
Despite the outcome for Bastianini, he showed a good pace in both the sprint and primary races. Director General of Ducati Corse, Luigi Dall’Igna, praised the team’s efforts on a challenging weekend.
