If it rains for the race, expect the Ducs and the Brits to do well.

Shouldn't it always rain at Assen? Isn't it always supposed to? It was always on Mamola's wish list! laughingdp popcorn

I know this is a good track for Hopper but it's nice to see him up there none the less.

Absolutely crazy race results. As I mentioned earlier, if it's Assen there must be rain! bang head popcorn Mixed up the championship points chase for sure. But all will get settled later in the season. There always seems to be a race like this weekend's Assen craziness every season. It all comes out in the wash as long as no season ending injuries occur. Best I can tell everyone came out OK.

Still, good to see Rea do well and a 1st win for Guintoli. Nothing wrong with mixing up the usual order of things! waytogo Just racing...
