David Alonso came out victorious in a Moto2 classic in Assen. The youngster battled with Manuel Gonzalez and Senna Agius to claim a spectacular win at the Dutch Grand Prix.
Alberto Ferrandez led after the opening lap but soon ended up losing positions and dropping back through the order. David Alonso led the majority of the race but was soon caught up by the IntactGP duo of Gonzalez and Agius.
The trio shared an incredible battle throughout the final few laps and were all separated by less than a tenth of a second for the entire final lap. In the end it came down to the very last corner when Alonso spectacularly overtook Gonzalez around the outside at the final chicane.
Celestino Vietti, who started the weekend third in the championship, crashed out early along with Daniel Munoz, meanwhile America's Joe Roberts was penalized for a jump-start and handed a double long lap penalty.
