Spaniard Ismael Ortega won the second round of the Suzuki GSX-R European Cup, just easing out ‘wild card’ Fabrizio Pirovano after ten thrilling laps at Assen today. Ortega made a superb start and took the lead straightaway and despite terrific pressure from the veteran Pirovano, he held to take the chequered flag by less then two tenths of a second. Third place went to the winner of the first round, Dominic Lammert, with Patric Muff fourth.
