MOTORCYCLING-BAGNAIA WINS DUTCH GP AHEAD OF CHAMPIONSHIP RIVAL MARTIN

ASSEN, Netherlands (Reuters) - Twice MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati led from the start to the chequered flag to win the Dutch Motorcycle Grand Prix and complete a weekend double, while championship leader Jorge Martin came second on Sunday.

Having dominated the practice and qualifying sessions at TT Assen, reigning MotoGP champion Bagnaia looked comfortable from the get-go despite Martin's best efforts.

Martin had been handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Raul Fernandez in qualifying and started fifth instead of second. Enea Bastianini finished third to complete an all-Ducati podium.
