Bagnaia Stays Calm as Rivals Crash in Dutch MotoGP Practice

Francesco Bagnaia demonstrated stable performance during Dutch MotoGP practice session at Assen Circuit — the Ducati Lenovo rider secured fifth position with a lap time of 1 minute 31.410 seconds.

Challenging track conditions due to low temperatures caused several incidents — including two crashes experienced by his teammate, Marc Marquez.

“Today was really chaotic. I knew in one speed I could reach the top position,” stated Bagnaia. “I didn’t want to take risks with yellow flags and get penalized.”

The Italian rider used a similar bike setup to Mugello — but with more stable front end to handle Assen Circuit characteristics.
