Valentino Rossi s-a impus pe circuitul de la Assen si a obtinut, astfel, cea de-a 100-a victorie din Motomondialul de Viteza. Doctorul a sarbatorit victoria de la Marele Premiu al Olandei in stilul sau caracteristic: a afisat, in fata propriilor suporteri, un banner cu imagini de la toate cursele castigate de el. Pilotul de la Fiat Yamaha a fost urmat, pe podium de Jorge Lorenzo si Casey Stoner. Curse extrem de interesante au fost si la celelalte clase. Sergio Gadea a castigat prima sa cursa din Motomondial, iar la 250cc Alvaro Bautista a cazut cu doua tururi inainte de final si a pierdut lupta pentru locul intai.
Ghinionistul cursei de la MotoGP a fost Mika Kallio, care a cazut in ultimul tur, in timp ce se lupta pentru pozitia a sasea.
Rossi dupa a 100-a victorie
In cursa de 125 cc, spaniolii au "furat"podiumul. Gadea, Terol si Simon s-au desprins la 12 secunde de ceilalti piloti si au oferit un final "strans" la Assen. Pilotul de la Bancaja Aspar, Sergio Gadea s-a impus in ultimul tur si a obtinut prima sa victorie in Motomondialul de Viteza. Marea dezamagirea a fost Sandro Cortese, care a plecat din pole position, dar a cazut dupa numai cinci tururi.
La 250cc, Alvaro Bautista a pierdut primul loc in clasamentul general, dupa ce a fortat o depasire cu doua tururi inainte de final si a cazut. Hiroshi Aoyama nu a putut decat sa profite de acest lucru si a obtinut a doua victorie din acest sezon.
