Kevin Valk delights locals who brave rain to witness lights to flag win.

Dutchman Kevin Valk (MTM Kawasaki) sailed to his first podium and first career FIM Stock 1000cc Cup victory at the same time after dominating today’s wet race at Assen.

Coming home almost ten seconds ahead of Ondrej Jezek (Barni Racing Team Ducati) and Matthieu Lussiana (Team Garnier by ASPI Kawasaki), who also relished the wet conditions, Valk has elevated himself to 3rd overall in the standings.

Kyle Smith (Agro-On Wil Racedays Honda) was running a strong second before crashing, and remounting only to fall again a lap later.
