Description
'The Cathedral' of motorcycle racing as it is known colloquially, Assen has an almost unrivalled history in motorsport, being the only venue to have held a round of the MotoGP™ World Championship every year since its creation in 1949. It has also been hosting WorldSBK races since 1992, and celebrated its 25th anniversary as a Superbike venue in 2016.
Assen is a big favourite with the riders given its prestige and race weekends are thoroughly enjoyed by the fans as they revel in the festival atmosphere.

Tom Sykes has clinched his first World Superbike race win of 2018 heading up a Kawasaki 1-2 comfortably ahead of teammate Jonathan Rea who has further increased his championship lead despite losing his Assen record.
Sykes, starting on pole on the reverse grid for race two, produced the ideal start to keep ahead of his rivals and with a clear track ahead of him quickly worked on a gap on the likes of Rea, Michael van der Mark and Chaz Davies starting on row three.
With Sykes checking out at the front, van der Mark and Rea enjoyed a race-long tussle for second place with the triple World Superbike champion eventually getting the better of the local hero to claim second place. It marks the first time in eight races Rea has not won at Assen, leaving him on equal career race wins with Carl Fogarty on 12 at the Dutch circuit.
Despite losing out to the Kawasaki domination in race two, van der Mark produced an impressive home round with a double podium result for the Pata Yamaha rider.
