Spanish rider Jorge Martin (Aprilia) bagged pole position for the Dutch Moto GP in Assen after clocking the fastest time in qualifiers on Saturday. Martin, the 2024 world champion, finished ahead of the three other Asprilias on the track ridden by Japan’s Ai Ogura, Italy’s Marco Bezzecchi and Spain’s Raul Fernandez.
