In Assen we saw some interesting things.  Two Spanish riders made the news during this round.

Carlos Cano was one of the two. The Murcia ace was one of the talented riders at his first races. But the season started bad for him with no stunning races until the Assen round. Carlos won the first races showing how good he can be. Keep an eye with him that’s he going to be one of the bigger talents to see in future. Also, he could be going to Moto3 if he arrives in top 3 in Junior GP.

The other is the championship leader Beñat Fernandez. With his win in Race 2 and his closest rival not scoring in the same races. He takes the gap +55 for him. With this gap he can win with one round left. He’s the sure favourite for the title and for a Moto3 rides in 2027.

Another little mention is the US rider Kristian Daniel JR, with his first podium of year, and Guillem Planques with his maiden pole in category.

During the Mugello round in rookies cup, we got 2 riders from the talents cup going to the podium.

The first one is Ryota Ogiwara. The Japanese riders got his first win during Race 1 in a photo finish battle with Beñat Fernandez. Ryota also took the win in race 2 making him 2^(nd) in the standings with -14 points from the championship leader Beñat Fernandez. The Kawagoe born is one of the 2 talents promoted from Asia Talent Cup after his dominant winning season in 2025. Ogiwara is going to turn 18 on 7^(th) of September. Watch out for him from the San Marino Grand Prix that he could be a reserve or a wildcard for some race in 2026 and a full-time rider in 2027.

The other talent is Fynn Kratochwil. The German was the biggest surprise of the weekend with a double podium. Fynn is one of the youngest on the grid, so we didn’t expect him to be this fast so soon. Kratochwil was promoted as the winner of the Northern Talent Cup, a series born in 2020 and still with no full-time rider in Moto 3 during these years. Can Fynn became the first big Talent from this championship. Also, he will return to the Rookies for a 2^(nd) year as a 2010 born he can debut in 2028 in world championship if he can arrive in Top 3 in Red Bull Rookies Cup or Junior GP.

Other notable performances are the 3^(rd) place from Guillem Planques in Race 2 and a Top 5 for Carlos Cano.

Bad performance for David González, with 0 points in 2 races after a pole on Friday, and Fernando Bujosa with only 5 points after being a top 5 rider in the previous 2 round.
