DUTCH ROUND | SUNDAY

Alvaro Bautista closes the third round of the season by taking the Superbike World Championship lead at the end of an emotionally charged Sunday at the Assen circuit (Netherlands).

First, the Spanish rider is the protagonist of an extraordinary Superpole Race win: starting from the seventh position, he fights until the last lap with Razgatlioglu for the victory in Race 2.

“This morning’s Superpole Race was the only dry session of the whole round and that says a lot about the difficulties we had to overcome. However, I am delighted with what we did. In Race-2 the feeling was very good but after the rain, I had the feeling that the rear wheel, losing temperature, had changed a lot not allowing me to push as I would have liked. Still, it remains a very positive weekend.”
