The death of Rolf Thiele, the festivities were put on the backburner. ==500cc [  edit ] == Phil Read ( MV Agusta ) had at Assen already in training his day. He qualified fifth behind Barry Sheene ( Suzuki ), Giacomo Agostini ( Yamaha ), Teuvo Länsivuori(Yamaha) and even Gianfranco Bonera (MV Agusta), who first was fit enough after his broken leg in Modena in the spring. As in the 350cc class there was a lightning start for Wil Hartog (Suzuki), who was from the third row first road while Länsivuori his Suzuki almost last got to talking. Phil Read took despite the handling problems he with the MV Agusta 500 4C quickly found the lead, followed by Sheene and Agostini. After four rounds passed Agostini and Phil Read Sheene and began immediately to run away from him. Sheene Agostini seemed easy to follow: he rode always sitting upright behind him, but if Sheene Ago passed which again could easily stay in the slipstream. They exchanged so do a number of times of position, but neither of them could really make a difference. The race was decided not only on the line: Barry Sheene won the first victory for his Suzuki RG 500, Agostini, Phil Read was second and third. The timing equipment could not measure the difference then, the photo finish given that Barry Sheene had a band thickness lead. ===Result 500cc [  edit ] === ==350 cc [  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == The podium after the 350cc race at Assen: winner Dieter Braun and best Dutchman Wil Hartog<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">During the training in the 350cc class did the privateers very well.

Johnny Cecotto (Yamaha) was in the second row and in addition also had a bad start. Wil Hartog (Yamaha) had problems after training only the 16th time, but with George and Korhonen (Yamaha), he was at the start fastest way and he came after the first round first round. Agostini also had a bad start and was only seventh.

However, the reliability of Yamaha's started to become a problem and Cecotto then stopped when his engine threatened to seize. Villa now been handed the lead, but Harley-Davidson apparently were no team orders because Rougerie even managed to pass him. However Rougerie was making Villa won the race. Michel Rougerie was so far ahead of Dieter Braun (Yamaha), that despite his fall still finished second, before Braun. In the third round of this race was Rolf Thiele at "Hump". He died later that afternoon from his injuries. ===Result 250cc <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ==125cc <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Jan Huberts got in Assen a Morbidelli, but that was an old one from 1974, from the time that Jorg Moller could improve the machines yet. Huberts could start into it: during training machine vibrated so much that Huberts got blisters on his feet and in the game began to beat on the engine and had to give Huberts. The new Morbidelli of Pier Paolo Bianchi and Paolo Pileri were much faster than the rest of the field. In the beginning of the race it was raining lightly, making Pileri something ran away from his teammate. When it was dry Bianchi joined but continued Pileri by convention a few meters until you reach the finish line. Jos Schurgers, who retired several years earlier but each year only in Assen with his old Bridgestone came at the start, was as third but fell back. Bruno Kneubühler ( Yamaha ) eventually finished third. ===Result 125cc <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === ==50cc <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Assen, the earlier start problems Piovaticci of Eugenio Lazzarini resolved. He was quickly away, but this time he had forgotten his fuel tap to turn on, and he again fell far back. Julien Zeebroeck ( Van Veen - Kreidler) started badly and know that after the race to "nerves." In the first round went Henk van Kessel ( Jamathi ) and Ángel Nieto (Van Veen-Kreidler) in the lead. Lazzarini was 21th. Kessel had to fix something by a slipping clutch and was tenth. Lazzarini broke the lap record and fought his way through the field forward.
