The Dutch GP weekend ends with mixed feelings for the HDR SpeedRS Team. On one side, a strong comeback from Luca Lunetta, who fought his way up to 12th place to secure valuable points; on the other, the unfortunate crash of Celestino Vietti, who was forced to retire after just two laps.

At lights out, Vietti made a strong start and immediately moved into the top six. His race, however, came to an early end on lap three following a crash at Turn 10, forcing him to retire and leave Assen empty-handed.

A full comeback race instead for Lunetta. After a difficult start that saw him drop from 22nd to 26th position, the #32 rider did not give up and began a steady charge through the field. With strong pace and several clean overtakes, he recovered position after position, eventually crossing the line in 12th place, securing important points and confirming the competitiveness shown throughout the weekend.

With the Assen round now behind them, the HDR SpeedRS Team turns its focus to the next round of the World Championship. The team will be back on track from 10th to 12th July for the German Grand Prix.

CELESTINO VIETTI #13: DNF
“A difficult weekend; I’m really sorry and I want to apologise to the team. Now we need to reset and go to the Sachsenring with the same motivation as always”.

LUCA LUNETTA #32: P12
“Assen was a weekend that confirmed the potential we have with the bike and the outstanding work the whole team does in every situation. Starting from 22nd, we knew it would be tough, but we were confident in our pace, which was indeed strong. After a less-than-ideal start, we set a fast and consistent rhythm that brought us close to the top ten. This 12th place is great for morale and gives us extra motivation for the work we have ahead in Germany. Thanks to the mechanics, the whole team, the sponsors and everyone who supports us unconditionally. See you soon, DAJE”.
