The TT Circuit Assen is one of the most iconic tracks in motorsport. Characterised by fast corners and a particularly high pace, it represents an important technical challenge for riders and teams.
The track rewards precision, smooth riding and tyre management, elements that often make the difference over the course of the races.
The Dutch weekend is built around four key sessions:
Superpole: determines the starting grid
Race 1: first direct showdown between the main contenders
Superpole Race: sprint race that affects the second starting grid
Race 2: often decisive for the overall result of the round
As one of the first events of the season, Assen can already provide important indications about the competitive order.
The characteristics of the circuit make the races particularly hard-fought and less predictable, increasing the importance of every session of the weekend.

A weekend to follow closely in order to understand the evolution of the championship and the actual balance among the season's protagonists.
