Valentino Rossi is aiming for his tenth at Assen.
In the Netherlands, the star from Tavullia has already won nine times. The first, in the 125 category, with an’Aprilia in 1997. The second, in 1998, allowed him to break free in the 250 class, again with an’Aprilia. That year, among the 125s, it was Marco Melandri who crossed the finish line first. Thereafter for the number 46 came seven successes with MotoGp: in 2002 with Honda, in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2013 and last year – Saturday, June 27 – with Yamaha, when he preceded Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo across the finish line.
