Moto2: Alonso Beats González in the Final Meters to Win in the Netherlands

June 28, 2026

David Alonso claimed victory this Sunday (the 28th) at the Dutch Grand Prix, the tenth round of the 2026 Moto2 season, held at the Assen circuit. The Aspar rider engaged in one of the most intense battles for a win this year in the category, pulling ahead in the final metres of the last of the 22 laps, winning by 0.024 seconds.

The runner-up position went to González, the championship leader and Intact GP rider who led much of the race, yielding to Alonso’s late challenge in the final meters. Agius, on the other Intact GP bike, completed the podium two tenths behind the winner. Izan Guevara, aboard a Pramac motorcycle, finished fourth, followed by Ivan Ortolá in fifth on a MSI machine.
