Ogura won at Assen — the first Japanese MotoGP conquest since 2004. Anyone who's actually ridden it knows all too well how hard it is to stand at the top of that cathedral-like course. Trackhouse's 1-2 was chilling too. It must have been an unforgettable day for Japanese fans.

Ogura wins the race and yet Martin's still the points leader, kind of a mixed feeling.

Ogura gets the win but Martin keeps the points lead, the season's still long.

A 1-2 with Raul in tow, the Aprilia camp's genuinely strong.

More than that, the 1-2 finish is huge, a massive upset win for the Trackhouse team.
