A day to frame at the Cathedral for Marco who, as a rookie, gives the Mooney VR46 Racing Team the first podium in its history in the Top class. Tougher race for Luca Marini, 17th, after a contact at the start that damaged his Ducati Desmosedici GP
Assen (Netherlands), June 26th 2022 - A Sunday full of emotions and a really solid race on the Ducati Desmosedici GP for Marco Bezzecchi, the 46th Italian on the podium in the Top class. The rookie of the Mooney VR46 Racing Team crosses the finishing line of Dutch GP in second place, hitting the first podium in MotoGP of his young career and the first in the history of the Team. Race compromised at the start, after a contact that damaged one of the winglets of his bike, for Luca Marini in P17.
Starting from the P4 after an excellent qualifying session and always at ease on the Dutch track in the free practice sessions, Marco keeps the contact with the very first ones after the start and moves up to second place after five laps. Capable of a constant and precise race pace, he is second under the checkered flag, first among the rookies. With today's points, he climbs to P14 in the general standings (55 points) confirming himself as the leader among the rookies.
Step back after a very positive trend in the recent weeks for Luca, 13th yesterday in qualifying and forced to an uphill race after the start due to an accident that irremediably damaged his Ducati. He closes out of the Top15 and is in P15 in the general standings (52 points) on the eve of the summer break and before the British GP scheduled for next August 7th.
