Examined by race management at Honda’s request, the collision between Rossi and Marquez in the final chicane at the Assen circuit was classified as a racing fact (read our Full Dutch GP Analysis) . But in the paddocks, not everyone agrees with this opinion, arguing that the No. 46 has won.

Examined by race management at Honda’s request, the collision between Rossi and Marquez in the last chicane at the Assen circuit was classified as a racing fact (read our A. But in the paddocks not everyone does not agree with this opinion, arguing that the n ° 46 won after cutting in the gravel…

Faced with this argument, the race management concluded that the "motocross part" in the clearance of the Assen circuit was not only unintentional, but above all "" after the contact caused by Marquez, located at the rear of the Yamaha of n ° 46. Lorenzo, Stoner and the heads of the teams involved also have a similar vision.

"They both did a good job and it’s racing!"

Jorge Lorenzo : "To tell the truth I was able to see the video afterwards, at the time I did not have the time and therefore I did not want to comment. After watching this several times, it is true that the regulations say that you can’t cut the track, but Marc’s contact with Valentino was quite strong and to some extent prevented him from continuing on the circuit. In the end, I believe that Valentino got to the chicane first and deserved to ‘to be the winner of this race ".

Casey Stoner, former MotoGP world champion (and not really Rossi’s biggest fan!) : "Valentino Rossi was in front. Marquez got inside and Rossi had to get off the track and go through the last chicane. If I am to be honest, the race is like that, Valentino Rossi has been in front all weekend and he’s always been the fastest. It’s been an amazing race. Valentino is going really, really strong and he was really impressive this weekend ".

"Marc hit it and Vale could only raise his bike and shoot straight"

Massimo Meregalli, official Yamaha team director : "I was in doubt when the incident happened, but seeing it again in slow motion, the race management was right. Valentino was first in front and Marc could not overtake him when he tried. He hit it and Vale could only raise his motorcycle and shoot straight. ".

Livio Suppo, Official Honda Team Director : "The race management decided that it was a fact of the race, we respect this decision and we will go to the Sachsenring with a good feeling because Marc is feeling good on the bike (back to the 2014 chassis, Editor’s note) and that is the most important. There is no point in thinking about the conditional. The real error at the origin of the incident occurred a few laps earlier, when Marc came out of the last chicane touching the gravel. He then lost the contact with Valentino, it was impossible to follow him but Marc did an incredible last lap. I think he took back 0.4s from him and it was very strong because Valentino had done his best lap just before, which was amazing. They both did a great job and it’s racing! "
