The eighth round of the 2024 MotoGP World Championship sees the series head to Assen for the only non-Grand Prix - by name - on the calendar: the MotoGP Dutch TT. Jorge Martin holds a 17-point lead over Fracnesco Bagnaia heading into this first of two back-to-back races, with Germany scheduled for next weekend. On day one of the weekend, Francesco Bagnaia was fastest in both sessions.

2023 - Bagnaia takes second consecutive Dutch TT win as Binder loses podium for track limits
Friday Practice
Francesco Bagnaia was fastest in both FP1 and Practice at the MotoGP Dutch TT, in what was one of the reigning champion’s most positive Fridays in the premier class.
It’s ordinary for Bagnaia to be forced to play catch-up after Friday, but it’s not the case this weekend. Only Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales could get within 0.3 seconds of the Ducati rider, who had never topped a Friday morning MotoGP session in his career before today.
Vinales has traditionally been strong at Assen and so it’s unsurprising that it should be him who is Bagnaia’s biggest challenger, although it wasn’t a perfect day for Aprilia with a late crash for Aleix Espargaro.
The consequence of Espargaro’s crash was not felt on the timesheets by the Spaniard, who finished the day fourth behind Alex Marquez, but by the likes of Fabio Quartararo and Marco Bezzecchi who finished Practice in 11th and 12th, just outside the automatic Q2 spots.
The final six of those went to Jorge Martin who had contact with Jack Miller in the middle of the session, Marc Marquez, Brad Binder, Enea Bastianini despite a crash at turn eight, Raul Fernandez, and Franco Morbidelli.
Full MotoGP results from FP1 and Practice at Assen are below.

2023 MotoGP Dutch TT
The 2023 MotoGP Dutch TT was dominated by Francesco Bagnaia, who took his second consecutive GP win at Assen. Marco Bezzecchi finished second, while Brad Binder was third, but the South African lost the podium to Aleix Espargaro for exceeding track limits on the final lap in an identical way to how he had lost out in the Sprint the day before, won by Bezzecchi.
