MotoGP World Championship, Galouises Dutch TT Round 7 of 12
Rossi Celebrates 75th Gauloises Dutch TT with a Win
Assen, Netherlands , June 23-25th - Valentino Rossi once again proved that he is the man for the big occasion as he took victory in the 75th anniversary of the Gauloises TT Assen in another exciting MotoGP race on Saturday. Rossi’s sixth win from the opening seven rounds of the 2005 series was also his fifth in succession, the longest winning run by a Yamaha rider in the history of motorcycle racing’s premier-class, and extended his lead to 63 points over Honda’s Marco Melandri, who was second today. Two weeks ahead of their own 50th anniversary celebrations at Laguna Seca, Yamaha’s joy was complete today as Rossi’s team-mate Colin Edwards also stepped up to the podium with third place.
“Today was another hard battle, as it has been all season,” said Rossi. “Melandri was very strong today and he came back to fight until the end. I had to keep pushing at 100% and really concentrate, especially on the last lap, when I made no mistakes and the fastest lap of the race. It was incredible for everybody. I can’t believe that I am the first Yamaha rider to win five races in a row, when you look at the company I am in with Yamaha’s former World Champions – Agostini, Lawson, Roberts and Rainey… it’s great!”
Dutch TT History and Preview
Coinciding with the year of Yamaha’s 50th anniversary, two legendary players in the history of motorcycle racing come together this weekend as the Gauloises Yamaha Team heads to the historic circuit of Assen for the 75th edition of the Dutch TT. With a 58-point advantage at the top of the rider standings, Valentino Rossi will look to continue his sensational start to his fourth consecutive title defence with another victory in the seventh round of the MotoGP World Championship, the Gauloises Dutch TT in Assen.
With five victories and one second-place so far this season, the Italian heads to Assen, the only Grand Prix to have remained on the World Championship calendar since it began back in 1949, in better shape than ever. His points lead is the biggest after six rounds of a premier-class World Championship since former Yamaha superstar Giacamo Agostini in the late 1960s, and an early morning test less than 24 hours after his most recent victory at Catalunya last week underlined his determination to keep on winning.
The Italian has tasted victory at the Dutch TT four times in the different Grand Prix classes, whilst his Gauloises Yamaha team-mate Colin Edwards also knows all about winning at Assen. The American took three victories there in the World Superbike series, including a double win on the way to reclaiming the title from Troy Bayliss in a gripping climax to the 2002 season. He is confident of rejoining the battle for podium positions in Assen, after two difficult races at Mugello and Catalunya have seen him lose ground on the championship leaders, despite consolidating sixth place in the current rider standings.
Assen has been the scene of hard work over the last few months for the completion of a ‘floating’ grandstand, which meets new MotoGP safety regulations by allowing the gravel trap in the Geert Timmer corner to actually run underneath the stand. Two changes have also been made to the layout of the racetrack, which is now 30 metres shorter.
As is tradition, the Dutch TT will be held on the final Saturday in June, although this year it will feature a slightly different time schedule to the other rounds of the MotoGP World Championship. Whilst both practice days on Thursday and Friday will follow the regular timetable, Saturday’s schedule will start with the warm-up sessions from 8:20am to 10:05am in order to accommodate a host of support races. Despite this, the MotoGP race will still start at 2pm as usual.
Capirossi signals Ducati revival in Practice at Assen
Practice Thursday 23rd - Two years after setting pole position for the Dutch TT in his first season with Ducati at Assen, Loris Capirossi today sparked hopes of a revival for the Italian factory with the fastest lap on the opening day of action at the 75th anniversary of the famous event. The Italian struggled to eleventh place in the last round at Catalunya, just seven days after his first podium of the season at Mugello, but his early pace in Holland suggests he can be back to challenge for the Italian factory’s second MotoGP victory in Saturday’s historic race.
“We are in a much better situation than we were at Barcelona two weeks ago but we need to work on bike set-up to get more out of the tyres,” said Capirossi. “The front is fine but we’re still trying to find a good rear for the race. I did my fastest lap at the end of the session on my number two bike with a race rear I hadn’t used before so we’ll test that tyre for more laps tomorrow. At the moment we’re not super-competitive in race trim but Bridgestone are working so hard that we have got a lot of new tyres to try here.”
Despite Capirossi’s late charge there is little doubt that the dominant force throughout the day was current series leader Valentino Rossi, who set the pace for the morning practice and most of the afternoon on the Yamaha before ultimately being bettered by his compatriot. Honda’s Sete Gibernau trailed Rossi for most of the day and ended up third fastest on the combined time sheets, 0.197 seconds adrift of the World Champion.
Alex Barros began his quest to repeat his 500cc victory here from 2000 with the fourth fastest time on ahead of Honda colleagues Marco Melandri and Nicky Hayden. Capirossi’s Ducati team-mate Carlos Checa, who finished second to Mick Doohan here in 1997, was seventh quickest, with Colin Edwards, Max Biaggi and Shinya Nakano completing the top ten. The only crash today in the MotoGP class came from Rubén Xaus, who escaped uninjured from a high-speed tumble that wrecked his Yamaha.
Sebastián Porto scored only his second ever dry weather victory at this circuit last season and showed signs of a repeat in the first qualifying practice for the 250cc class. Porto bounced back from a difficult start to the season to hold off the challenge of Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner this afternoon, taking provisional pole position in a time of 2’05.530. Hiroshi Aoyama qualified fourth fastest to complete the provisional front row whilst his team-mate Dani Pedrosa, who leads the current standings by 27 points from Stoner, was sixth. Alex de Angelis, Héctor Barberá and Andrea Dovizioso complete the second row.
Rossi takes fourth pole of the season at Assen
Qualifying Friday 24th -Valentino Rossi set the quickest Qualifying time on Friday to start the seventh round of the MotoGP World Championship from pole position for the fourth time this season as he searches for his six win from seven rounds in Saturday ’s 75th anniversary Gauloises TT Assen. The MotoGP World Champion, who leads current the series by 58 points over Marco Melandri, was in stunning form at the end of an incident packed qualifying practice held in scorching temperatures touching 36ºC.
Sete Gibernau, Marco Melandri, Colin Edwards, Nicky Hayden and Loris Capirossi all posted fast laps with around six minutes remaining before a moment of bizarre calm before the final storm as several riders, including Rossi, coasted around waiting for clear track before launching their final pole attacks. Rossi timed his run to perfection, clocking a lap of 1’58.936 to scupper an effort from Gibernau, the only rival who managed to seriously threaten the Italian’s dominance.
“I was lucky because I was able to use my qualifying tyres to 100%,” reflected Rossi after the session. “With the first one I set a 1’59.4, which was a great lap, but I looked at it and thought maybe I could go a little faster. I had to wait a while because there were a lot of riders waiting for me on the last lap but I left it until the last moment and set another very good lap in 1’58. I’m happy to be on pole position because tomorrow for sure will be a hard race. We’ll wait to see what the weather does but if the temperatures are like today it will be very tough for the riders and the tyres.”
Rossi's Gauloises Yamaha team-mate Colin Edwards set a vastly improved lap time. Cheered on by a vast army of travelling British fans, Edwards starts from the second row after taking 1.5 seconds off his best time from yesterday to take sixth place on the grid. |

Ruben Xaus and David Checa will start from 16th and 17th places respectively on their Fortuna Yamaha Team YZR-M1s. In a difficult qualifying session both riders focused their efforts on finding a good race pace and are confident with the overall result.
High temperatures and blazing sunshine continued today, with the thermometers reaching 36ºC during the afternoon session. However, the local weather forecast is predicting that the early summer heat wave will end abruptly tomorrow morning, with thunderstorms expected to continue throughout the day.
Valentino Rossi (Gauloises Yamaha Team) 1st, 1'58.936
"I am very happy because it is great to ride at this track on a qualifying tyre - the emotion is incredible. The bikes are so fast and this track also, even with the modifications it is still one of the best in the world. I was lucky because I was able to use both of my qualifying tyres at 100%. With the first one I set a 1'59.4, which was a great lap, but I looked at it and thought maybe I could go a little faster. I had to wait a while because there were a lot of riders waiting for me on the last lap and I left it until the last moment, because it's better to have no one in front of you here when you are trying to set a fast lap. The last lap of 1'58 was fantastic. I'm happy to start from pole position because tomorrow for sure will be a hard race. We'll wait to see what the weather does but if the temperatures are like today it will be very tough for the riders and the tyres."
 Rossi heads up Giberneau, Edwards and Hayden in front of the huge Assen crowd.
Rossi Wins the 75th Aniversary Dutch TT on Saturday
Saturday 25th - Valentino Rossi once again proved that he is the man for the big occasion as he took victory in the 75th anniversary of the Gauloises TT Assen in another exciting MotoGP race on Saturday. Rossi’s sixth win from the opening seven rounds of the 2005 series was also his fifth in succession, the longest winning run by a Yamaha rider in the history of motorcycle racing’s premier-class, and extended his lead to 63 points over Honda’s Marco Melandri, who was second today. Two weeks ahead of their own 50th anniversary celebrations at Laguna Seca, Yamaha’s joy was complete today as Rossi’s team-mate Colin Edwards also stepped up to the podium with third place.
“Today was another hard battle, as it has been all season,” said Rossi. “Melandri was very strong today and he came back to fight until the end. I had to keep pushing at 100% and really concentrate, especially on the last lap, when I made no mistakes and the fastest lap of the race. It was incredible for everybody. I can’t believe that I am the first Yamaha rider to win five races in a row, when you look at the company I am in with Yamaha’s former World Champions – Agostini, Lawson, Roberts and Rainey… it’s great!”
Sete Gibernau remains fourth in the championship behind Max Biaggi after losing out on fourth place in today’s race to Nicky Hayden. Gibernau lapped behind Melandri as his young team-mate led in the early stages of the race but, having lost his Chief Mechanic Juan Martínez for the opening day of qualifying due to illness, he was unable to maintain the pace in the second half of the race and eventually dropped back to fifth.
Biaggi fought his way up to sixth place after a bad start that saw him down in eleventh after the first lap, winning a tight battle with former Dutch TT winner Alex Barros that went all the way to the final lap. Shinya Nakano made the most of a terrific start, when he briefly held third place after starting from fourth on the grid, to take another top ten finish in eighth on the constantly improving Kawasaki, although his team-mate Alex Hofmann was denied a similar result as he was forced to retire after six laps when battling for ninth.
The final top ten positions went to Ducati pair Carlos Checa and Loris Capirossi, who had an entertaining battle on the Italian machines, whilst Troy Bayliss called on the experience of his previous wins here in World Superbikes to hold off the challenge of Rubén Xaus, John Hopkins and Makoto Tamada. David Checa won the chase with former World Champion Kenny Roberts for the final point in just his third MotoGP appearance as a replacement for Toni Elías, who hopes to back in action for the eagerly awaited return of the USGP at Laguna Seca in two weeks’ time.
Sebastián Porto clinched his first victory of the season in the 250cc race with a masterful ride that saw him take the lead form Jorge Lorenzo at the end of the penultimate lap before setting the quickest time of the race to hold off a late challenge from Dani Pedrosa. Lorenzo had led the way throughout after starting from pole position and bravely hung on to third place despite riding with a titanium plate and seven screws in the collarbone he broke just thirteen days previously at Catalunya. With Casey Stoner struggling to sixth place and Andrea Dovizioso seventh, Pedrosa now leads the championship with an advantage of 37 and 41 points respectively over the Australian and the Italian.
