Garzo takes Race 1 spoils after an intense Assen duel

The #4 takes victory ahead of Gutierrez and Torres after a thrilling end to Race 1 at Assen

Race 1 for the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Championship at the Motul TT Assen was unbelievable with drama around every corner in yet another twist in the Championship with Hector Garzo (Dynavolt Intact GP MotoE™) stealing the victory on the last lap. The #4 pulled off a fantastic move on the final lap to overtake Alessandro Zaccone (Tech3 E-Racing), who led the majority of Race 1. Zaccone crossed the line to finish in second before later being disqualified due to a tyre pressure infringement. This handed Oscar Gutierrez (Axxis-MSI) second place after a brave last lap from the #99. Meanwhile, Jordi Torres (Openbank Aspar Team) took the final spot on the podium in the amended result.

However, Race 1 was not without drama for some of the other key contenders with LCR E-Team’s Mattia Casadei crashing on the first lap after contact with Andrea Mantovani (KLINT Forward Factory Team).
