In the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast,
Neil Morrison and David Emmett go over the events of a scintillating weekend at Assen. We start, naturally enough, with Valentino Rossi's win at the legendary Dutch track. We go over how Rossi won it, and compare this victory to his other historic wins. We contrast Rossi's victory at the track with his teammate's fate, Maverick Viñales crashing out of the race as he pushed to catch the leaders.
Naturally, we also compare the fortunes of the Ducatis. We wonder at Danilo Petrucci's transformation into a consistent podium threat, and discuss where it might have come from. We also discuss Andrea Dovizioso's measured race, his remarkable pace to catch the front group, yet his willingness to settle for points, which ultimately leaves him leading the championship.
