Round eight of the Moto3 championship, th🍬e Dutch Grand Prix, saw the race decided in the run to the line - with Ivan Ortola picking up his first win of the season after chasing down Collin Viejer.

The MT Helmets -MSI rider had🍌 taken the lead on lap one after passing polesitter Angel Piqueras. The #48 tried to break early but could not lose th🔥e riders behind, with Veijer eventually taking over out front.

It had been Taiyo Furusato sat in behind, he 𝄹ran wide and out of contention on lap fifteen, which gave Ortola a second chance at the win.

There was a gapꦅ to make up, as the rider from the Netherlan♕ds had managed what he could not, and built a small lead. Reeling in the Dutch rider, by the start of the final lap Ortola was sat in right behind, with the pit team over at Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP telling Veijer he had more distance then was visible in reality.

Veijer tried a defensive line through the chicane section, but could not hold oဣff a charging Ortola, with a photo finish between the pair handing the Spaniard the win by just 0.012s - his first victory of the season.

That meant home heartbreak for Veijer, who had been lo🍃okin𝄹g to become the first Dutch winner at Assen since Hans Spann in 1989. The 19 year old couldn’t have come closer after leading for most of the distance, but had to settle for second.

The battle for third in the chasing group was equally fierce. David Alonso had  fought his way back to be third at the start of the last lap, all despite having to give a placeℱ back on🎀 his run through for passing under yellow flags. The CFMoto Gaviota Aspar rider then had a tough, full contact battle with David Munoz for several laps.

Munoz had not given up on the position and fough💟t back for third after starting eleventh on the grid for BOE M🥃otorsports KTM.

J🐓ose Antonio Rueda also slipped though in a scrappy run to the line by the group, for Red Bull KTM Ajo. Fifth still marks a good comeback for Alonso from 13th on the grid, comfortably ahead of Daniel Holgado, who had sat behind him in the title hunt.

Luca Lunetta was the best of the rookies in a close sixth after making his own forward progress for SIC58 Squadra Corse, with Adrian Fernandez just the better of the two Leopard riders in seventh ahead of a fading Piqueraౠ💯s in eighth.

Stefano Nepa took ninth for Level Up - MTA with Ryusei Yamanaka the last of the group to cross the line, putting both MT 🦩Helmets bikes inside the top ten.

There was a gap back to Holgado, who never really made an impact. He in turn held his own clear advantage over Joel Kelso in a lonely twelfth on the second BOE ent𒀰ry.

Furusato rejoined in 13th after his off track excursion for Honda Team Asia, with Jacob Roulstone fighting back to keep his perfect run of p❀oints finishes in 14th for Red Bull Ga⛦sGas Tech3.

The final point went t🎐o Aspar’s Joel Esteban, the only rider 🎃to claim a point after being handed a penalty.

There were a whole host of penalties handed out f🐠or slow riding before the grand prix by race direction. Nicola Carraro, Xabi Zurutuza and Noah Dettwiler were all handed a long lap penalty for second offences.

Fourth offences brought double long lap pe𝐆nalties for Filippo Farioli, Joshua Whatley, Matteo Bertelle and Esteban.

MLav Racing rider Scott Ogden placed 17th, with a Whatley one of several riders handed further sanctions in raceꦿ for exceeding track limits,ไ leaving him 24th and last.
