Moto GP Netherlands Grand Prix Betting 2011
The Moto GP race inside the Dutch borders is a race that is all about speed, excitement and a healthy injection of danger as well. The Dutch Grand Prix is based on a circuit that has huge straights with the odd chicane thrown in to demonstrate the perils of racing at hundreds of miles per hour.
Moto GP Netherlands Grand Prix betting 2011 will be dominated by the individuals that hold all of the aces in terms of straight line speed. There is still room for some skilful overtaking but the real advantage is going to be nailed down the front and back stretches of track.
Dutch Grand Prix Atmosphere
The Dutch Grand Prix is unique because huge grass banks were included in the design of the track when it as built in 1949. Entry to the race is on the cheaper side out of all the European races which guarantees a huge crowd every time there is a Moto GP at the venue.
The Dutch Grand Prix atmosphere makes this race one of the most popular with all of the riders. The casual and laid back approach from the crowd makes for a festival type feeling which is a pleasant change from the main view of fans sitting up in grandstands as the riders go about their business.
The Assen Track
Racing around the Assen Track covers a complete distance of 2,822 miles which makes it one of the smaller races on the Moto GP calendar. There are six left corners and 12 right corners which have been subtlety built in to the long straights. The length of the longest straight is recorded at 300 yards due to the delicate chicanes around the Assen Track.
The Assen Track is also quite narrow at 14 metres thanks to the long stretches of tarmac. This means the riders who are perfect in terms of timing, breaking and positioning will have the best chance of going up through the positions while the race is taking place.
Netherlands Grand Prix Betting
It is an old cliché in motor racing to say that the rider with the fastest bike is the rider who will win the race but it is a cliché that applies with this race. Jorge Lorenzo of Yamaha should do well in Netherlands Grand Prix betting because the Yamaha can have a one or two second advantage over the next best in a straight line when tuned correctly.

Stoner is still a little way back in the individual standings so any odds on him doing well in Netherlands Grand Prix betting are going to offer good value.
Expect Valentino Rossi to have a good go for a win in this race. Rossi is on a Ducati which is not the best bike this season but he has the experience of how to compensate for a lack of speed on this sort of track. Rossi knows all the tricks in the book and should place in Netherlands Grand Prix betting at the very least.
