The MotoGP World Championship moves straight from Brno to Assen, one of the sport’s most historic and beloved venues. Part of the Grand Prix calendar since the inaugural 1949 season, Assen is often referred to as the “University of Motorcycling” thanks to its complete layout, which combines fast corners, flowing sections, rapid direction changes and technical braking zones. It is a circuit that rewards precision, confidence and adaptability, making it one of the toughest and most respected tests of the season.

For Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP, the Dutch TT offers another important opportunity to continue the development path of the YZR-M1. The team has shown steady progress over recent races and arrives in the Netherlands determined to make the next step that would allow both riders to fight more consistently inside the top ten.

Assen holds a special place in Jack Miller’s career. It was here, exactly ten years ago, that the Australian secured his first MotoGP victory in one of the biggest surprises of the era, becoming the first non-factory rider in a decade to win a premier-class race. Returning to a circuit filled with positive memories, Miller will be aiming to build on the encouraging signs shown in recent rounds.

For Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, Assen is a track he knows well from his years in WorldSBK, where he collected several strong results including victories and podium finishes. As always, however, the challenge will be adapting that experience to the very different demands of a MotoGP machine. With his confidence continuing to grow and the team making steady progress, the Dutch TT provides another valuable opportunity to keep moving forward.
