Raul Fernandez claimed victory in the 2026 Dutch MotoGP Sprint Race at TT Circuit Assen after producing a controlled performance to secure the win for Trackhouse Aprilia.
Ai Ogura finished second, while Fabio Di Giannantonio completed the podium. The result underlined Aprilia's impressive pace at Assen following its dominant qualifying performance.
Marco Bezzecchi crossed the line in fourth, ahead of Jorge Martin in fifth. Francesco Bagnaia finished sixth, while reigning world champion Marc Marquez could only manage seventh.
Enea Bastianini and Pedro Acosta completed the top nine points-paying positions, with Fabio Quartararo finishing 10th. Luca Marini, Alex Marquez, Brad Binder and Alex Rins all finished outside the points.
The Sprint also featured three retirements, with Franco Morbidelli, Jack Miller and Joan Mir all failing to reach the chequered flag and leaving Assen without Sprint points.
The result provides valuable momentum heading into Sunday's Dutch Grand Prix, with Aprilia once again demonstrating race-winning pace as Raul Fernandez heads into the main event full of confidence.
