By avoiding trouble at the final chicane Daniel Mogeda (Pons Motosport Italika Racing) came through to finish third. It was the first podium of the season for the Spaniard who was a double Assen winner last year.
Having started from pole position Benat Fernandez (Team#109 Retro Traffic Kove) set the fastest lap during a stirring recovery ride. The Spaniard was penalised two Long Lap Penalties for a Race 1 incident but came back to fight for the win. Fernandez finished just off the podium in fifth position.

KTM lead the Manufacturers Championship by nine points from Kawasaki
P1 – Jeffrey Buis (Freudenberg KTM-Paligo Racing)
“I’ve never experienced something like this; it’s incredible. To take a double victory here in Assen is something that I couldn’t have even dreamed about. In the final corner, I made a mistake with my shifting and that’s why the other rider came very close. Luckily, I managed to stay in front and that’s what matters. For the next round, the goal is to score as many points as possible. Sometimes it’s a double win, sometimes it’s a fifth place but my aim is always to stay in the points and avoid getting taken out by other riders, even if that can happen.”
