Video Highlights
Description Alvaro Bautista made it 11 wins from as many races with a double victory in Assen as Jonathan Rea claimed second and third place finishes.
Heavy snow showers on Saturday meant that the opening race was pushed back to Sunday morning, with the second race taking place three hours later.
After a comfortable first win, Bautista recovered from Rea's overtake in the second race to extend his record.
The Ducati rider now holds a 53 point lead at the top of the championship.
Hat-tricks in Philip Island, Buriram and Aragon saw the 34-year-old Spaniard equal Neil Hodgson's 16 year record of nine consecutive race wins to start a season, with the victories in the Netherlands setting a new World Superbikes record.
