Valentino Rossi in the legend. At the age of 38, and one year after his last victory in MotoGP, the rider from Pesaro climbs once again to the top step of the podium in the crazy race at Assen, in the Netherlands, and is back in the running for the World Championship, which for him would be the tenth. Meanwhile, today brings ten victories on the Assen circuit (Valentino has also won ten times in Barcelona), and it's a great day not only for Rossi but for Italy: Danilo Petrucci finishes second and Andrea Dovizioso is the new leader of the world championship, overtaking Vinales who ended up knocked out. Third in the race is Marc Marquez, also in full swing for the world championship.
For Rossi it is the 115th victory on a motorbike and above all it is the relaunch of his title ambitions: now Dovizioso is ahead of everyone on the Ducati, author of a brilliant ascent which at a certain point even gave hope for something more than the podium, and who is now 4 points ahead of Maverick, 7 over Rossi and 11 over Marquez. Four champions enclosed in 11 points: a guaranteed show until the end of the season.
