250 cc – Assen QP2 – Dovizioso and Takahashi are confident

Andrea Dovizioso 7th time: 2'05.864: “I would have preferred to conquer the front row but that's fine too: the set-up of my Honda has improved but it's not perfect. Tomorrow will probably be a group race: It is unlikely that anyone will be able to escape although a lot will depend on how Lorenzo achieved this placing today. Group races are never easy: the risks are often higher, see Alex de Angelis and Lorenzo in Barcelona, ​​and you have to be very careful. I won't make any predictions but as a bike we're not in bad shape and I think we can have a good race."

Yuki Takahashi 13th time: 2'07.410: “The setting of my Honda is slowly but significantly improving. For tomorrow I am optimistic. Many say that it is likely that it will rain tomorrow... in some respects it would be better for me: I really like racing in the wet."
